"Genomic medicine" refers to a field of study that uses information from a person's genes, or their DNA, to guide medical care. It helps doctors understand and treat diseases based on specific genetic information in an individual's body. This approach can lead to more personalized and targeted treatments, improving the overall effectiveness of medical care.
