We will store genetic information to be used first in research and later in patient care.
Every person has a unique genetic makeup.
Some gene variations cause disease, and some increase a person's risk of getting a disease. As science moves forward, more and more of these combinations are being found. Moreover, drug companies already are developing different formulations of medicines that work best in people with specific genetic configurations. That's where First Genetic Trust hopes its future lies. Each person will have an account through which he or she can register and give consent for various scientific studies.
