A Genomics Revolution - personalized medicine

Child & Family Research Institute Mini Med School XI Oct 13 - Nov 24, 2010 Envision the medical system in a few years, when doctors will use information from a whole genome scan to predict those individuals who will be at increased risk for certain conditions, or to diagnose individuals. They will then be able to determine a course of treatment specific to each person, or choose a drug that will be most effective and have the least adverse effects for that particular person. Discover the reality today and the potential for tomorrow.
