Despite the promise, researchers face several challenges:
Complexity of Genetic Interactions: Diseases are often influenced by multiple genes and environmental factors, making it difficult to isolate specific genetic contributors. Ethical Concerns: Issues around privacy, consent, and the potential for genetic discrimination need careful consideration. Data Integration: Integrating vast amounts of genetic, molecular, and clinical data requires sophisticated analytical tools. Population Diversity: Genetic studies often suffer from a lack of diversity, limiting the generalizability of findings. Replicability: Ensuring that findings are replicable across different populations and studies is crucial for validation.
