Precision Medicine and Epigenetics

Abstract

With diabetes presenting as a multifactorial and heterogeneous metabolic disorder, the imperative for precision in therapeutic strategies is underscored by an in-depth analysis of its genetic and environmental determinants. This chapter explores precision medicine for diabetes, focusing on genetic and environmental factors influencing the condition. It emphasizes the importance of accuracy in therapeutic approaches and the role of epigenetics in tailoring therapies based on a person's unique epigenetic profile. Technological advancements in genetic and epigenetic analysis provide empirical evidence for the viability and effectiveness of these approaches.
