How will advances in genomics affect the pcp’s daily practice and what can we do to be prepared?
The 21st century will be remembered as a time when genomic information became a key driver of clinical decisions. Although genomic information is also an internal cue invisible to the naked eye, it differs from traditional laboratory values and imaging. Genomic information is a permanent fingerprint that provides clues to historic and future states and insight into the pathophysiology of why the body reached a particular state, whereas laboratory values and imaging are snapshots of a patient’s state at a moment in time.
This white paper offers tips and information for PCP’s on how genomics will affect their daily practice and what they can do to be prepared.
