The concept of personalized medicine suggests that medical care can be tailored to match your unique genetic profile. For example, if a study of your genes were to reveal that you are predisposed to develop a certain disease, doctors could detect such a disease long before any symptoms appeared.
Piemēram, ja kāda pacienta gēnu struktūras izpēte atklātu, ka viņam ir nosliece uz noteiktu slimību, ārsti varētu pamanīt šo slimību jau tad, kad vēl nav sākuši izpausties tās simptomi.
