RESULTS: After sequencing his own genes, Stanford University geneticist Michael Snyder discovered that he had a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. He and colleagues measured changes to 40,000 of his biological variables that could be associated with diabetes, such as gene and metabolite activity. After he developed the disease, the data they'd collected revealed the precise time of onset: his diabetes seems to have been triggered by a cold. They observed how the disease changed the variables they were monitoring. Treatment, including diet and exercise, returned the molecular markers that reflected diabetes to their normal state.
