This month we are delighted to feature an important article titled “Implementing Genomic Medicine in the Clinic: The Future is Here.”1 In this article, Teri Manolio and a veritable Who’s Who of genomic medicine nicely articulate the near-term promise of genomic medicine and lay out a number of current efforts being pursued at leading institutions, all designed to implement genomics in patient care. The authors detail many of the challenges to using genomics in clinical care and highlight four specific applications of genomics: tumor-based screening, family history–directed decision support, pharmacogenomics (PGx), and diagnostic genome sequencing to “demonstrate that genomic medicine is no longer on the threshold; it has arrived.”
