Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Precision medicine, sometimes known as "personalized medicine", is an innovative approach to making a diagnosis of disease by using an individual’s genetic, environmental, lifestyle, and epigenetic information to diagnose or pre-emptively prevent disease. Precision medicine uses genetic testing and drug–gene testing (pharmacogenomics) to diagnose diseases. In addition, the identification of lifestyle behaviors—smoking, an unhealthy diet, and physical activity—can be used to diagnose diseases such as cardiovascular disease, inherited cardiovascular disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes, stroke, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or asthma. Precision medicine could potentially transform genetic and clinical data into new insights for the diagnosis of complex health conditions.
