Being able to predict diseases before they develop has become somewhat akin to the search for the Holy Grail. The difference is that research has a greater chance of success in finding what they are looking for than King Arthur's knights did. And in many cases, there are significant health benefits to being able to predict disease risk early: prevention is better than cure. Biomarkers are trace el
