Genetic research is a key driver of personalized medicine, which aims to tailor medical treatments to an individual’s unique genetic makeup. By understanding an individual’s genetic profile, healthcare providers can:
- Predict disease risk: Identify individuals at high risk for certain diseases and recommend preventive measures.
- Select appropriate treatments: Choose the most effective treatments based on an individual’s genetic response to medications.
- Monitor disease progression: Track the progression of diseases and adjust treatments accordingly.
- Develop personalized therapies: Create new therapies that are specifically designed for individuals with particular genetic profiles.
