Textbook of Personalized Medicine

Abstract

Molecular diagnostics, the use of diagnostic testing to understand the molecular mechanisms of an individual patient’s disease, will be pivotal in the delivery of safe and effective therapy for many diseases in the future. Diagnostics influence as much as 70 % of health care decision making, and a new generation of diagnostics tests that provide insights at the molecular level is delivering on the promise of personalized medicine. Role of molecular diagnostics in personalized medicine covers the following aspects:
