Abstract :
The days of one-size-fits-all health care are coming to an end. After years of hopeful talk, a collection of technological advancements is finally edging personalized medicine from theory to practice. As these technologies make their way to the clinic, medical professionals will be able to read pertinent parts of a patient´s specific genetic and molecular makeup to customize detailed plans for disease prevention, health maintenance, and treatment.
