I read this Wall Street Journal article  on genetic testing with interest. In it, the author describes those person having the genetic trait in question as "patients-in-waiting." I prefer a different term, "exceptionally healthy."

Patients-in-waiting are basket cases. Exceptionally healthy people are proud of their health, in spite of what the doctors are telling them. They may be the answer to the disease others with similar genetic markers have.

Let's change the mind set, and be exceptionally healthy.
