The future has arrived. Thats good news for Amy Doneen, a nurse practitioner at the Heart Attack and Stroke Prevention Clinic in Spokane, Washington.

We now have one more tool in the tool belt, says Doneen, whose work at the clinic is geared towards, as the name suggests, preventing patients from suffering from heart attacks, stroke and diabetes.

The tool Doneen has added to her tool belt is deCODEme, a genetic screening test conducted by deCODE genetics. The deCODEme test, which requires patients to simply swab saliva from the inside of their cheek and then send it off to deCODE for DNA analysis, scans an individuals genome for genetic markers linked to 30 different diseases, such as heart disease and Type 2 diabetes.
