Medicina y Genoma Humano
Abstract
La genética, la ciencia de la herencia, estudia las semejanzas y diferencias entre organismos relacionados que resultan de la interacción de sus genes y el
medio ambiente. La genómica se encarga del estudio de conjuntos completos de genes y sus interacciones, más que del estudio de genes o proteínas específicos.
La medicina genómica se basa en el conocimiento de los genes, sus productos y funciones, para ofrecer mejores respuestas a gran escala a los grandes retos de la salud, particularmente enfocada al diagnóstico temprano, monitoreo, prevención y tratamiento (cáncer, retardo mental, malformaciones congénitas, diabetes, reacciones adversas a medicamentos, entre otros).
