Edited sentence: Another area in which there is great interest is disease risk prediction based on genetic markers.It is hoped that with further research, an accurate risk profile might enable individuals to take steps to prevent diseases for which they are at increased risk based on genetics.Researchers in this area have generated a great deal of information through the use of genome-wide association studies.Therefore, the clinical utility of personal genomic information is currently limited.While there is hope that risk information will be useful in providing predictive medicine, most common medical conditions are multifactorial and the actual risk to the individual depends on both genetic and environmental components, both of which are not completely understood at present
