| Sumario: | Part of a special report on 21st-century trends. The fully mapped human genome will facilitate the prediction of a person's potential for many diseases. Advances in genetic forecasting may lead to the isolation and possible treatment or cure of many natural disease processes that once caught most patients unawares. A possible new career or health care business opportunity resulting from these trends is a Genetic Counseling Agency that would combine existing specialties such as genetic consultants, psychologists, dieticians, personal trainers, legal consultants, and personal advisers to provide a range of genetic forecasting services.
