Abstract

Genomic medicine represents a paradigm shift in healthcare, leveraging insights from the human genome to inform diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies for a wide range of diseases. This paper provides an overview of genomic medicine, highlighting its applications in clinical practice and research. Key topics include whole genome sequencing, exome sequencing, and genetic testing technologies used to identify disease-causing mutations, assess disease risk, and guide therapeutic decision-making. Additionally, the paper explores the role of pharmacogenomics in personalized medicine, enabling tailored drug therapies based on individual genetic profiles. Furthermore, the paper discusses the ethical, legal, and social implications of genomic medicine, including privacy concerns, genetic discrimination, and equitable access to genetic testing and therapies. By synthesizing evidence from genomic studies and clinical trials, this paper aims to elucidate the transformative potential of genomic medicine in improving healthcare outcomes and advancing precision medicine approaches.
