Exome Sequencing Project

A very proactive member of the community has successfully managed to get the medical genetics centre of Tübingen in Germany to support us by offering an exome sequencing (WES) for the price of 650€ per patient. The aim is to collate the results of several participants and then analyse them.

This is truly interesting, however, just sequencing the genes is only a tiny beginning to a treatment (if one is even possible)
I think that the ‘bad breath clinics’ and assorted B.B. ‘specialists’ should be the ones to fund this genome mapping,
After all, they are the ones who ultimately stand to gain.
I’ll keep my $1000 au for now.
But I’m willing to donate my DNA for free if requested.

Agree. And we don't even know if it's genetic. Many of us are lone sufferers. Our families don't have this problem. Also, we used to be normal.
Would be great if there's a researcher / doctor interested to help us and we all consult them together.
Anyone tried reaching out to Undiagnosed Disease Network yet?

I seriously think mine is genetic.
I understand that if it is related to my genes then mapping the faulty ones isn't going to fix anything.
Gene mapping might be able to be used to screen my unborn children (which I would actually be interested in) I would be so sad to pass this curse along to any children I might have. (Am 40, likely will not have children now anyway)
But genetic abnormalities are notoriously difficult to treat, usually impossible... so I don't see any point for me at this stage.
Probably in 50 years they will be able to correct faulty DNA, but as of right now, it cannot be done.
