Introduction to Precision Medicine Precision medicine is an innovative approach to disease prevention and treatment that takes into account individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle. This paradigm shift in healthcare aims to provide more accurate diagnoses and tailored treatments, moving away from the traditional “one-size-fits-all” approach (Collins & Varmus, 2015). Key Components of Precision Medicine Genetic Testing: Analyzes an individual’s DNA to identify genetic…
The Epigenome: Personalized Nutrition and Lifestyle Interventions Based on Genetic Data As of 2024, epigenetics has revolutionized personalized health. The epigenome, controlling gene expression without altering DNA sequences, is influenced by environmental factors and lifestyle choices, leading to tailored interventions based on individual genetic data. Key Advancements: Epigenetic Mechanisms: Improved understanding of DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs [1]. Epigenetic Plasticity: Recognition of the…
