“A wise doctor does not mutter incantations over a sore that needs the knife.” — Sophocles
The basic idea that reactions to environmental factors have to be observed within the differences of our individual selves is the main concept of genomic medicine. Genome testing in a clinical setting allows physicians to confirm diagnosis and plan for advanced treatment procedures. The Human Genome Project (HGP) triggered many developments in medicine, and newer molecules targeting specific genetic abnormalities continue to emerge in clinical practice.
