Welcome to A Public Health Perspective, the Office of Genomics and Disease Prevention's highlights page. Researching the weekly update, OGDP finds scientific literature that reports on discoveries of genetic variants, related disease outcomes, and the complex social, legal, and ethical issues surrounding genetic discoveries. A Public Health Perspective focuses on a single topic and provides you with information relevant to public health practice.
In light of the recent publication of the special issue of the Journal of The American Medical Association (Feb 7), "Opportunities for Medical Research in the 21st Century," and the publication of the initial findings of the Human Genome Project by both Science Magazine and Nature Magazine, we have chosen to explore the topic, "Making The Vision of Genomic Medicine A Reality."
(March 2001)
| "In our excitement about genomic medicine in the 21 st century, we should not overlook the immense gap between the scientific products of the Human Genome Project and the beneficial applications of the data to the practice of medicine." |
