近年來打者個人化醫療旗幟的各式各樣研究大量湧出,每個研究者切入的角度都很不同,這邊分享由Greg Gibson教授所努力的其中一種方式:WHOLE(Wellness and Health Omics linked to the Environment) approach。
Greg Gibson教授是Georgia Institute of Technology中Predictive Health Institute and School of Biology的負責人,本身一開始從果蠅的GWAS研究起家,近年來開始轉做人類醫學的研究,他有寫一本關於基因體學的教科書A Primer of Genome Science,輕鬆易入手,娓娓地談關於基因體研究歷年來的發展,從microarray到次世代定去,還談了很多不同相關領域的應用。
Greg Gibson所提出的The WHOLE approach,其實就是將臨床上的危險因子評估與一套Genomic Risk Score相結合,這Genomic Risk Score則是整合GWAS研究找到的各式各樣SNP來進行計算,希望能提供病人更多的資訊。
