I work as an Assistant Professor in the Duke University Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy (although I am wholly responsible for this site and its content). In 2007 I became the fourth subject in Harvard geneticist George Church‘s Personal Genome Project (PGP). I have had about a million of my own genetic markers typed by the PGP, 23andMe, and Navigenics. In 2009 I had my entire genome sequenced at high coverage by the Duke Center for Human Genome Variation. My book about all of this stuff (and more) is called Here is a Human Being: At the Dawn of Personal Genomics, published by HarperCollins in 2010. As a researcher, I am interested in the relevant technologies and especially the attendant privacy and other ethical/legal/social issues that surround personal genomics and amateur biology. This blog will undoubtedly include some of my non-genome interests as well.

I heard you and other speaker on the Diane Rehm show yesterday. One of the speakers was cut off by the n of the program. He mentioned something about Plavix and cumodin. I have an urgent interest in these medications. I was on both once for 2 weeks and subsequently for 4 weeks. The sequence was separated by a surgery and reinitiated by another surgery After the second surgery I refused to resume the Plavix..
My question: I developed significant bruising- they appeared overnight.Two in my elbow area. Each was the size of a goose egg surround ed by bruising the circumference of an orange. In the middle of the “egg” was a knot the size a pigeons egg. I also had one on my rib cage and the back of my knee.
I am two weeks out of the surgery and not on plavix, only cumidin.
The neurosurgeon, internist and ER doctor did not know what to attribute this pattern of bruising . I called the FDA and the line goes dead after two rings.
I am happy to say no new one has arisen since I discontinued the plavix.

Outstanding news indeed. My friend has been searching for this information.
