Abstract
ٍEvery human being is different based on genetics,
lifestyle, and environmental factors. Novel
medical technologies have become more precise
owing to molecular information, including genomics,
transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc. The
“omics” technologies have opened up new horizons for
healthcare systems, enabling them to prevent and/or
diagnose diseases more precisely, as well as to find the
most effective treatments with fewer adverse events.
Recently, the term ‘precision medicine’ (PM), focusing
on molecular-based medicine, has been introduced. PM
empowered by “omics” technologies is going to be
translated into precision healthcare. In other words,
personalized healthcare is developed to improve the
safety and efficacy of medical treatments and also to
lower healthcare costs. Accordingly, some PM initiatives
have been announced in the US and European countries to
revolutionize healthcare systems.
