That's the tricky thing about this new, more individualized exploration of genetics. The effect of a polymorphism may vary depending on where in a gene it is found and the influence of other genes.

For instance, a variant gene called apolipoprotein E4 seems to increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease if you are Caucasian or Japanese but not if you are a black African. It's important to know not only the SNPs but also their context to understand "who will respond and who will...

...said. The Class Day exercises also included remarks by other class marshals, who spoke about their experiences at the traditionally button-down and competitive law school by remembering lighter moments, such as ice cream parties, “broom ball” games at the ice rink, and one particular professor’s prowess on the basketball court. Six of the nine members of the Court that Greenhouse covers attended Harvard Law School including Roberts, the recently appointed chief justice. Responding to Kagan’s early assertion that she no longer needs to read the Court?...
