Let’s Try That Again

I wish him all the luck in the world.

He'll need it. The shear number of genes he needs to sort through alone if it's a single-gene error is mind-boggling, let alone if it's a polygenetic result (Not very likely). And I'm not sure that 1 billion gene database has all the non-disease variations in it.

Even when he finds it, solving it would take years of research to either A: Replace the faulty gene, or B: Artificially supply the missing factors.

Still I wish him the best, if there anything people are good at it's long shots

There aren't 1 billion genes, there are only about 25,000.

True, there are only around 20000-25000 genes in a human, but lets not forget the variations that each one has.

Very pioneering. With dedicated people like him it'll only be a short while before the whole process can be automated and genes analyzed for flaws en masse. Then mysterious physical ailments will become a thing of the past.
