Precision GI Medicine
What is Precision GI Medicine? Precision GI medicine involves the use of advanced diagnostic tools and therapies to target specific genetic or molecular abnormalities that contribute to gastrointestinal diseases. While precision medicine is not being used on a large scale in practice currently, it is being studied in depth for future application in patient care.
Applications of Precision GI Medicine
- Identification of biomarkers using proteomics in diseases such as celiac disease, which may help diagnose the disease earlier.
- Use of pharmacogenetics to predict response to therapy through identification of gene mutations, such as the presence of NOD2/CARD15 mutation in Crohn’s disease.
- Personalized nutritional plans through the study of the individual’s microbiome, metabolism, and dietary sensitivities.
