Genetic-based prediction of disease traits: prediction is very difficult, especially about the future†
Translation of results from genetic findings to inform medical practice is a highly anticipated goal of human genetics. The aim of this paper is to review and discuss the role of genetics in medically-relevant prediction. Germline genetics presages disease onset and therefore can contribute prognostic signals that augment laboratory tests and clinical features. As such, the impact of genetic-ba...

Therefore, the only means of dealing with this situation is to delay the emergence and subsequent dissemination of resistant bacteria or resistance genes. Resistance to antimicrobial dr...
متن کامل“Prediction Is Very Hard, Especially About the Future”: New Biomarkers for Type 2 Diabetes?
With apologies to Yogi Berra, with the advent of personalized medicine, predicting who is at risk for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) will be important. T2DM is characterized by insulin resistance, often associated with obesity, and inadequate insulin secretion to overcome the insulin resistance. As the prevalence of obesity increases, so too is the prevalence of T2DM. However, depending upon their degr...

See related article, p XXX Physicists, politicians, poets, and punters understand the pitfalls of predicting the future. Similarly, predicting outcomes after stroke rehabilitation can be difficult when based on clinical impression, and several approaches to combining key variables in predictive models have been developed. In this issue, Scrutinio et al introduce a predictive model of functional...
