ABSTRACT: The goal of tailor-made medicine is to maximize the likelihood of therapeutic efficacy and to minimize the risk of drug toxicity for an individual patient. It involves right drug & dose, right patient and at right time administration of a medication. By averting the knowledge of gene sequence and their functions, biomedical research are diversified towards inter-individual variations that are expected to become an eminent part of treatment planning in terms of efficacy and toxic side effects of drugs. Tailor-made medicine focuses on individualized drug treatment according to each patient’s molecular diagnosis and genetic makeup. Genomic-based diagnostics can play a key role in creating a more efficient healthcare system by directing patients toward beneficial therapies and away from therapies that pose substantial risk or are unlikely to improve outcomes for the patient.
