Promises promises and precision medicine

摘要

In 1999 Francis Collins published a foundational document of precision medicine entitled “Medical and Societal Consequences of the Human Genome Project,”( ) which made predictions about the ways the human genome would be used to predict, prevent, and treat disease in 2010. In 2000, he suggested that “Over the longer term, perhaps in another 15 or 20 years, you will see a complete transformation in therapeutic medicine” ( ).
