Abstract

Personalized medicine is a strategy to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease so as to achieve an optimal result for the individual. The sequencing of the human genome and other technological advances have revealed the extent of genetic diversity and the relative contribution of genetic and nongenetic factors to human health, disease, and drug response. The challenge is to translate this knowledge into tangible benefits for the patient.
