Genomics: Present-day practices and future trends - JAAPA: "Genomic medicine involves the use of information derived from chromosomal DNA as well as RNA, proteins, and metabolites to guide and tailor clinical decision making, leading to personalized medicine. Together this information may be used to assess disease risk, support clinical diagnosis and choice of treatment, assess disease prognosis, and correlate with other traditional risk factors such as family history. We frequently use health risk assessments to estimate risk for developing disease and reinforce disease prevention; examples include the Framingham Heart Study models, the Gail model for breast cancer risk assessment, and others."
