Abstract

Clinical Genomics: The Impact of Genomic Technology on Clinical Trials and Medical Practice assesses the challenges and future prospects for incorporating genomics technologies into standard clinical practice. The report examines some of the ways in which genomics could directly contribute to clinical practice, evaluates the scientific, technological, legal, and regulatory issues that will have a significant impact on the future adoption of genomics in clinical settings, and discusses the emerging business opportunities that will arise as the widespread application of genomics to clinical drug development, diagnostics, and medical practice comes to fruition.
