Title: Precision Medicine In India: Current Advances And Future Needs.

Abstract:

Precision medicine is a medical model that proposes treatment of an individual based on his or her genetic content. Thus various and appropriate diagnostic tests are needed in a patient to find his/her genetic contents. Various tools employed in precision medicine may include molecular diagnostics, imaging, and analytics. There is no universal definition for the term “precision medicine,” although probably, the most widely accepted is the one provided by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) that defines it as ‘‘an emerging approach for disease treatment and prevention that takes into account individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person’’. This at times is used synonymously with personalized or individualized medicine. Precision medicine, as defined by the National Institutes of Health’s Precision Medicine Initiative Working Group, is “an approach to disease treatment and prevention that seeks to maximize therapeutic effectiveness by taking into account the individual genetic, molecular, environmental, and lifestyle differences.”
