第47章 such as ADHD

Early diagnosis brings with it the possibility of early treatment. Moreover， sequencing the genomes of newborns could offer a lifetime of returns. A patients genome may reveal which drugs will work best in his or her particular case for conditions such as ADHD， depression and cancer. Combined with information about someones way of life， it could highlight easily discounted health risks such as cancers and cardiovascular disease， leading to better preventive measures. A database of genomes， matched to living people， would be a boon for medical research. The fruits of that research， in turn， would make those genomes more useful to their owners as time goes on.

早期诊断带来了早期治疗的可能性。此外，对新生儿的基因组进行测序可以提供终身的回报。一个病人的基因组可能揭示出哪种药物在他或她的特定情况下效果最好，比如注意缺陷与多动障碍、抑郁症和癌症。与某人的生活方式信息相结合，它可以突出容易被忽略的健康风险，如癌症和心血管疾病，从而带来更好的预防措施。一个与活人相匹配的基因组数据库将是医学研究的福音。反过来，随着时间的推移，该研究的成果将使这些基因组对其所有者更加有用。
