Abstract

Precision medicine is presented in the central countries as a new paradigm in the treatment of some diseases. Based on the knowledge of the genome of each individual, it is based on the principle that the success in the treatment of diseases, and the response to drugs, depends on the detailed knowledge of the genetic variants of the individuals, the percentages of ancestry, of the environment and other factors that can not be directly extrapolated among populations. Our country must decide whether to take this knowledge from other countries to apply it in an unspecified way, or launch a national project to benefit our population inclusively with the advances of biomedicine and health in the 21st century.
