Using Personal Genomic Data within Primary Care: A Bioinformatics Approach to Pharmacogenomics

摘要: One application of personalized medicine is the tailoring medication to individual, so that will have highest chance success. In order individualize medication, one must a complete inventory all current pharmaceutical compounds (a detailed formulary) combined with pharmacogenetic datasets, genetic makeup patient, their (medical) family history and other health-related data. For healthcare professionals make best use this information, it be visualized in way makes most medically relevant data accessible for decision-making. Similarly, enable bioinformatics analysis these data, prepared provided through an interface controlled computational analysis. Due high degree personal information gathered such initiatives, privacy-sensitive implementation choices ethical standards are paramount. The Personal Genetic Locker project provides approach genomic primary care. paper, we provide description show its utility case based on open standards, which illustrated by 4MedBox system.
