| Abstract
|
:
|
Today genomics, part of a larger movement toward personalized medicine, is poised to revolutionize health care. Elements of genomics are already being incorporated on a widespread basis, including prenatal disease screening and targeted cancer treatments. With more innovations soon to arrive at the bedside, the promise of the genomics revolution is limitless. This book offers an authoritative resource on the prospects and realities of genomics and personalized medicine. As consumers are faced with additional options and more complicated decisions regarding their own health care, Snyder unpacks this sometimes-opaque subject matter into clear and actionable prose. --
