उत्तर
Sequencing of human genome has opened new windows for treatment of various genetic disorders. We know that genetic disorders are caused by some alteration in genes At present, we do not have exact information about the base pair sequence where this alteration takes place. Hence, we are unable to devise any tool to prevent genetic disorders. By proper understanding of the particular sequence responsible for a particular genetic disorder, the scientist may be able to devise some tools to prevent genetic disorders. A future may come when nobody will be suffering from genetic disorders; especially those which create serious disability.
