Lecturer: @Stuart Richer
Synopsis:
We discuss the authors’ take on the role of genetic testing in AMD. Lost in the statistical risk controversy is the fact that one’s DNA is not ones destiny. Rather DNA can be changed, for instance, by several biochemical mechanisms established over the last few decades. Identical twins may start off with identical DNA, but as they grow up their DNA expression, and hence risk of AMD changes based upon their environment and individual decision-making.
