Genetics is driving the medical field into a new world.......where drugs and therapeutic strategies will be tailored and customized as per the individual's genotype or haplotype. This is being done by endorsing whole exome/genome analysis for clinical diagnosis. Application of whole exome sequencing for clinical diagnosis is however a big challenge. Promises are being made that the technology is going to be an affordable alternative to disease diagnosis and mutation detection. But in reality the success rate in finding a causative mutation through these fancy technologies has been really low. So much is yet to be done to even sound sensible.
