There is one case study in genomics, where a doctor Wartman was diagnosed with lymphoblastic leukemia. Dr. Wartman went through aggressive treatment to get rid of cancer, then Timothy Ley, an Associate Director of the Genome Institute at Washington University. He was able to use genomic sequence to cure Dr. Wartman’s cancer, they were able to identify a specific gene that had mutated. Then they were able to compare gene with other medical issue that have the same gene mutation. The usage of genomic analysis is not available for most patients, because each person has different genetic codes. The same drug might not work on other people. Because each person has different genetic code, it is hard for doctors to create drugs for each …show more content…
Because technology is still being improve, there is a possibility for mHealth to work in the future. Also, new drugs are being created for curing different kind of diseases, which means genomic analysis can be use on every patient. Because new drugs are being made, doctors can use the same drug to cure other people. Since each person has different genetic code, it is hard for doctors to create drugs for each problem. If new drugs are being created, then there is a possibility for curing
