Robert Whitfield MD, speaking in a YouTube video, suggests that ongoing clinical and basic science research will increasingly identify genetic determinants (e.g., HLA types, specific SNPs, gene copy number) that explain why certain diseases occur. He frames genetics as the ultimate explanation that future work will clarify.
So I think, you know, as we continue to do more and more evaluation with clinical research and basic science research, we'll continue to better understand, you know, how, you know, this process is happening. And it always, to me, it's like, I just get back to genetics. Like at some point it's going to be determined either on an HLA or a specific SNP single nucleotide polymorphism. There's or copies of genes and snips. There's going to be something more and more specific to this that really highlights why this is going on.
