Gene therapy
Replacing the gene rather than the gene product
Pharmacogenomics
Personalized medicine Adjusting drug, amounts and delivery to suit patients Maximize efficacy and minimize side effects Identify genetics of adverse reactions Identify patients who respond optimally Doug Brutlag 2011
Preventive Medicine
When thinking about diseases, I never think about how to cure them, but instead I think about how to prevent them.
Doug Brutlag 2011
Preventive Medicine
The goal is to prevent disease from occurring. First one must identify the cause of the disease. Treat the cause of the disease rather than the symptoms
Example 1: Peptic Ulcers Example 2: Pyrogens
Genomics identifies genetic causes of inherited disease. When Paul Wise (a Stanford pediatrician) heard that we may soon sequence every childs genome at birth, he stated:
all medicine may soon become pediatrics!
Overlooked accidents, infectious disease, auto immune disease and aging: environmental or acquired diseases Genetic penetrance and environment

The Inheritance
You are 18 years old. Your father abandoned you and your mother when you only 2 years old. Your father died this year and left you an inheritance. He died from an autosomal dominant disease known as Huntingtons Chorea or Huntingtons Disease. You have a 50% chance of inheriting this invariably fatal neurodegenerative disease. But there is a genetic test for this disease that can tell you not only if you have the disease, and if you do, when you will die from it. Would you take the genetic test or not? Why?
