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.
