Eur J Hum Genet. 2025. doi:10.1038/s41431-025-01844-7 Lyrics:Verse 1We lit the lab with midnight screens,A million letters in between.We hoped the code would tell it straight,But most predictions learn to wait. Pre-ChorusSome answers land like sudden light,Rare names finally read right.But for the everyday unknown,A score can’t stand there all alone. ChorusTrust before the test, truth before the hype,Build it slow, build it fair, get the evidence right.Genes are part of the story, not the whole disease,So we link them to the system—carefully.Trust before the test, let the people see:Power needs permission, and equity. Verse 2There’s value rising level by level,From bedside choices to future revel.But if the pipeline skips the proof,Costs climb high without a roof. BridgeSo start with pilots, measure what they change,Count the outcomes, track the strain.Clear consent, honest lines,Keep the care and research defined. Final ChorusTrust before the test, truth before the hype,Build it slow, build it fair, get the evidence right.Rare-disease wins are real—hold on to that key,But common risk needs more than destiny.Trust before the test, and then we’ll see:Genomics in the real world—responsibly.
