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.
个体化医学是一种预防、诊断和治疗疾病的策略,旨在为个体实现最佳治疗效果。人类基因组测序和其他技术进步揭示了遗传多样性的程度以及遗传和非遗传因素对人类健康、疾病和药物反应的相对贡献。挑战在于将这些知识转化为患者的实际利益。
