    Dear Dr.,

    Genetics and epigenetics are very promising areas in diagnostics and healthcare..Inexpensive tests can be used to screen out vulnerable groups and focus on them whether preventatively or after an adverse diagnosis has been made.

    Im very hopeful about their applications in treatment and prevention of diseases like cancer and alzheimers and even mental health

    There is a branch of medicine called orthomolecular medicine which is based on genetics and nutrition.it was propounded by carl pfeiffer and linus pauling (a nobel laureate) and seems to have promise but never took off in a big way

    Regards,
    Siddharth
