Completion of the Human Genome Project yielded as one among many results, knowledge on the complete sequence of 3,200 nucleotides contained in the human genome. This project established an important point: human beings share 99.9% of this sequence, and only 0.1% varies among individuals. This small variation confers individual phenotypic characteristics, but also predisposes us to developing certain conditions, and, to a certain extent, defines the response we might show to certain type of treatments.
