The practice of genomic medicine: A delineation of the process and its governing principles.

Genomic medicine, an emerging medical discipline, applies the principles of evolution, developmental biology, functional genomics, and structural genomics within clinical care. To reduce barriers for clinician engagement in genomic medicine, we provide several decision-making frameworks and tools and describe the implementation of the proposed workflow in a prototyped electronic platform that facilitates genomic care.

• 1 Enabling widespread adoption and integration of genomic medicine into clinical practice is key to achieving precision medicine.
• 2 We delineate a biological framework defining diagnostic utility of genomic testing and map the process of genomic medicine to inform integration into clinical practice.
• 3 This process leverages collaboration and collective cognition of patients, principal care providers, clinical genomic specialists, laboratory geneticists, and payers.

Understanding this could lead to better treatments, improved diagnostics, or a deeper grasp of how the human body works — benefiting patient care globally.
