this group of people from maine who are concerned about such devastating brain cancers as glee yoe blassmas. i'm wondering if you also see a role for precision medicine in neurodegenerative diseases like alzheimer's, parkinson's, als. are investments in these important areas also being considered as part of the precision medicine initiative? >> thank you, senator collins, for that question. absolutely. we are learning that disorders like parkinson's and alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative conditions do, in fact, have multiple contributions, whether they happen or not, to a given individual. for alzheimer's disease we know of 35 individual places in the genome where variations place an individual at higher risk and we know one or two where individual variations are protective which is a more potentially actionable finding because you would like to understand that in order to develop the next generation of preventative strategies for people who weren't so lucky as to inherit that genetic variation. especially for any disease that is common enough that you're going to have thousands of
