Regarding "what is currently known with respect to genetics. we have barely finished sequencing the genome and do not know the full plethora of genetic variants out there, let alone their associations with disease.
At present there are an estimated 300,000 SNPs (not taking into account other genetic variants), with a mere small % demonstrating an "association" with any disease. Whilst rare genetic variants that cause rare diseases such as cystic fibrosis are known, complex disease states involve more than one gene and maybe different ones in different individuals."
