Using genetic raw data and technology to support paths to recovery: Innovations in complementary can
Each person is born with a set of genes inherited and recombined into a unique blueprint or map. The expression of those genes is not just dependent on inheritance but how the genes interact with the outside environment (epigenetics). In other words, genes are not static. One can have oncogene mutations, but never develop cancer. In fact, 40% of people with BRCA positive gene mutations do not. Using genomic information to predict the development of a disease process such as c
