Nick Wade's articles have long read as though he has an axe to grind against the Human Genome Project and its progeny (HapMap and GWAS in general). First, 10 years is an awfully short time to go from the development of a scientific tool (the human genome map) to real-world medical treatments. I emphasize tool because the genome, per se, is not really a discovery; it is a framework that helps you make discoveries.
Then there is his failure to understand genetics, or refusal to do so. Take the following sentence: "If each common disease is caused by a host of rare genetic variants, it may not be susceptible to drugs."
Let's examine that assertion by way of example: hypercholesterolemia, a common disease. Its rare familial forms -- and its common forms -- are caused by dozens of different, often rare, mutations in APOB and other genes like PCSK9. If Nick Wade's assertion is true, then hypercholesterolemia would probably be insusceptible to drugs, since presumably we would need dozens of different drugs to target each specific mutation.
Except he's totally wrong. We just put them all on statins, regardless of the causal mutation. And they work like a charm -- demonstrably reducing all-cause mortality.
So the current evidence gives lie to his claims. And this is just scratching at the surface. Nick Wade's article have long made it clear that he believes that rare variants are the only important ones. Nevermind the fact that we know where to look for rare variants thanks to the presence of common ones. And common variants actually can have large effect sizes (PCSK9, anybody?). Etc.
