Abstract


Great advances have been made in understanding the genetic profile of human beings. Such genetic information is opening up new and exciting branch of genetic medicine. This has great promise in predictive healthcare, pre-emptive treatment, effective and precision treatment for existing illnesses and more importantly for highly personalised healthcare.
