What is precision medicine really?

This video explains what is precision medicine. Transcript: A patient goes to the ER complaining of chest pain. She is having a heart attack. She receives treatment. She is also put on blood-thinning meds to prevent more heart attacks. But in the next 11 months, she has five more heart attacks. After sequencing her genome, the docs fine that she has a genetic variant that makes her meds ineffective. She is put on different meds that work better with her genome and hasn't had a heart attack since. Precision medicine uses a person's specific information, such as their genome, environment or lifestyle, to give a precise treatment that's personal to them. Here at NHGRI, we support genomics research that will make precision medicine a reality for all! This example shows a case of a patient for whom precision medicine was needed and worked. For most people, conventional therapies are beneficial.
