Precision medicine, pharmaco-genomics and neutro-genomics and genomic medicine: A newer approach for patient management from clinic to basic

Abstract

Precision medicine refers to the adapting medical treatment to the individual characteristics of each patient. According to the Precision Medicine Initiative, precision medicine is an emerging approach for disease treatment and prevention that takes into account individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person. In this field, the individuals are classified into subpopulation that differ in their susceptibility to a particular disease or in prognosis of those diseases they develop, or in their
responses to the specific treatment, in terms of their uniqueness in genome and targeting therapeutic and preventive intervention according to it. This approach allows doctors and researchers to foresee more accurately which treatment and prevention strategies for a particular disease work for the individual or groups of people.
