Personal medicine is medical treatment customized to patient's genomic profiles. Each human being has a different set of genetic elements called 'genome' as a whole. Many drugs have racial and ethnic specificity due to individuals' genetic variation. Personal medicine accommodates such individual differences in medical care.
Personal medicine is tightly associated with personal genomes that are unique.
