A critically ill Turkish boy has had his life saved after scientists were able to read his genome quickly and work out that he had a wrong diagnosis.
The scientists writing in the journal, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, say they completed the analysis of his blood in just 10 days. They were able to see that he had a mutation on a gene that coded for a gut disease and tell his doctors.
Clinical tests proved that the boy had the disease and he is now recovering.
