The future of genetic testing
Dr. Steiner is optimistic about the future of genetic testing and how it can impact healthcare care. “I think in the not-too-distant future, everybody will have comprehensive genetic testing done in order to prepare healthcare providers for any future issues a patient might develop.”
When that happens, genetic testing will be used more often to help people and their healthcare providers prevent unexpected diagnoses.
