Whole genome analysis (WGS) as a tool for personalized medicine - relevance for individualization of treatment approach and for the health system
Whole genome analysis is a modern tool of personalized medicine, providing a comprehensive view of the patient's genetic information. This procedure enables the detailed identification of genetic variants, which can be of fundamental importance for the early diagnosis and prognosis of diseases with the possibility of creating individual dispensaries and treatment plans. Benefits include more precise targeting of treatment, prediction of genetic disease risk, and better understanding of individual response to therapy, leading to optimization of healthcare and improved patient outcomes.
