Genomics is revolutionizing biomedical research, medicine and healthcare globally in academic, public and industry sectors alike. Concrete examples around the world show that huge benefits for patients, society and economy can be accrued through effective and responsible genomic research and clinical applications. Unfortunately, Ireland has fallen behind and needs to act now in order to catch up. Here, we identify key issues that have resulted in Ireland lagging behind, describe how genomics can benefit Ireland and its people and outline the measures needed to make genomics work for Ireland and Irish patients. There is now an urgent need for a national genomics strategy that enables an effective, collaborative, responsible, well-regulated, and patient centred environment where genome research and clinical genomics can thrive. We present eight recommendations that could be the pillars of a national genomics health strategy.
基因组学正在全球范围内的学术、公共和行业领域对生物医学研究、医学及医疗保健进行变革。世界各地的具体实例表明，通过有效且负责任的基因组研究及临床应用，可为患者、社会和经济带来巨大益处。遗憾的是，爱尔兰已落后，现在需要立即采取行动以迎头赶上。在此，我们确定导致爱尔兰落后的关键问题，描述基因组学如何能使爱尔兰及其人民受益，并概述让基因组学造福爱尔兰和爱尔兰患者所需采取的措施。当前迫切需要一项国家基因组学战略，以营造一个有效、协作、负责、监管良好且以患者为中心的环境，使基因组研究和临床基因组学能够蓬勃发展。我们提出八项建议，这些建议可成为国家基因组学健康战略的支柱。
