Precision medicine (PM) stands on the brink of revolutionizing medical practice throughout the world, holding significant potential for enhancing patient outcomes. However, its practical implementation, particularly in resource-limited countries, is not without challenges. The success of PM largely hinges on the availability of extensive datasets, including genetic and genomic information. This paper delves into the PM landscape and the current state of genetic and genomic testing in Brazil. We also shed light on the unique challenges posed by the country's diverse population and discuss ongoing initiatives to tackle these obstacles.
