|
Treating most diseases involves a certain amount of trial and error, because some drugs or treatments are more effective for some individuals than for others. How could more precise information about variations within the human genome help doctors?
|
|
Doctors would be able to tell patients whether or not they would survive a disease based on the patient’s DNA.
|
|
|
Knowing which drugs or treatments worked best on specific genotypes would help pinpoint treatments more quickly
|
|
|
It would allow doctors to alter a patient’s genome so that he or she could be treated more effectively with current drugs.
|
|
|
Knowing the patient’s genome would provide information about how long the treatment would take once the correct drug was identified.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Medicines act in a variety of ways. Some can cure an illness by killing or halting the spread of invading germs, such as bacteria and viruses. Others are used to treat cancer by killing cells as they divide or preventing them from multiplying.
Detailed explanation-2: -Personalized Medicine Knowledge of a patient’s genetic profile can help doctors select the proper medication or therapy and administer it using the proper dose or regimen. Personalized medicine is being advanced through data from the Human Genome Project.
