It is important to consider whether the sample size selected by the Environmental Genome Project will provide sufficient power to discover most alleles relevant to gene-environment interactions.

While the Environmental Genome Project does not seek to assign allele frequencies, we are aware of the importance of accurate allele frequency estimates for future epidemiologic studies and the large sample sizes such estimates will require.

As population susceptibilities are better understood, we will be in a better position than we are in today to make informed decisions about risk management.

Unless physicians stand together to fight threats and injustices, our practices cannot remain viable in the future.
