genetic drugs

Advances in genetics have been enormous in recent years, and may well continue to be as great or even greater in the coming years.  Already with the mapping of some combinations of human DNA, the possibility of contracting certain diseases can be predicted.  We can imagine that it will soon be possible to produce specific drugs for specific genetic profiles.

Read about genetic drugs, learn some related vocabulary and check your comprehension.
