As advances in genomic medicine have captured the interest and enthusiasm of the public, an unintended consequence has been the creation of unrealistic expectations. Because these expectations may have a negative impact on individuals as well as genomics in general, it is important that they be understood and confronted. Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics (2013); 94 2, 188–190. doi: 10.1038/clpt.2013.44
