Next generation sequencing is here now.
The availability of massively parallel DNA sequencers has brought the cost of sequencing genes to affordable levels but the cost of analyzing the huge amount of data has not decreased to the same extent. Thus, only analyzing the sequences of the genes relevant to the patient's condition makes the cost manageable. A panel of genes relevant to lymphedematous conditions is described.
