Information-Based Personalized Medicine-Video Lecture-Watch OnlinePersonalized medicine the concept that information about a patient’s genotype or gene expression profile could be used to further tailor medical care to an individual’s needs. Such information could be used to help stratify disease status, select between different medications and/or tailor their dosage, provide a specific therapy for an individual’s disease, or initiate a preventative measure that is particularly suited to that patient at the time of administration. Several examples of approaches to personalized medicine have been established in medical practice, but in general the genotype-centered approach is not yet in widespread use clinically. It is currently debated whether such “personalized medicine” offers significant advantages over traditional clinical approaches that combine an individual’s personal medical history, family history, and data from imaging, laboratory, and other tests.
