johnny, You're not listening.

What's "revolutionary" is the "concept" (as you call it), is now a reality: A genetic marker being scientifically associated with disease.

It is not revolutionary. Genetic markers have been scientifically associated with diseases for decades. Try to keep up.


...population stratification based on ancestral origins and groups is the only way to categorize patients and target succeptibility to disease.

Of course it is. That is what I just spent an entire post trying to beat into your head.

Every individual in a group of patients with the same genetic susceptibility to a disease, 'by definition' share the same ancestry and the same ancestral origin. Under the circumstances, how else could you categorize them? Doh!

Sorry pal, all my arguments on the subject are completely intact. lol
