Genomics and Its Impact
Genomics plays a crucial role in precision medicine by providing insights into the genetic factors that influence health and disease. By analyzing a patient's genome, healthcare providers can identify mutations that may affect treatment responses. This information is vital for developing targeted therapies that are more effective and have fewer side effects.
Case Studies
Numerous case studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of genomics in precision medicine. For example, patients with specific genetic markers have shown remarkable responses to targeted cancer therapies, highlighting the importance of genetic testing in treatment planning.
