Abstract:
Personalized medicine creates revolutionary treatments for rare genetic disorders through medicine that adjusts to individual genetic information. The development of next-generation sequencing and whole-genome sequencing through genomic research has made precise medical diagnoses along with personalized treatments possible. The current therapies using CRISPR-Cas9 and gene therapy methods tend to fix harmful mutations effectively. Biomarker discovery, along with precise diagnostic techniques enables doctors to develop precise treatment methods through targeted therapeutic approaches. The ongoing revolution in rare disease management through personalized medicine faces hurdles of affordability and barrier to access and ethical questions but continues to create better individualized therapeutic solutions.
