Individualized Medicine from Prewomb to Tomb

Abstract: That each of us is truly biologically unique, extending to even monozygotic, “identical” twins, is not fully appreciated. Now that it is possible to perform a comprehensive “omic” assessment of an individual, including one's DNA and RNA sequence, and at least some characterization of one's proteome, metabolome, microbiome, autoantibodies, and epigenome, it has become abundantly clear that each of us has truly one-of-a-kind biological content. Well beyond the allure of the matchless fingerprint or snowflake con… Show more

“…These latest advances have led to the development of what is often referred to as ‘personalized’ or ‘individualized’ medicine, in which an individual’s genomic imprint is used to predict one’s susceptibility to disease and also to tailor individual treatment [29]. This new approach warrants a shift in language from biomedical to biological approaches to health research.…”

“…Ainsi, étudier un type de cancer revient à cartographier l'ensemble du spectre des mutations génétiques, mais cela implique aussi de caractériser les autres profils -omiques (protéomique, métabolomique, etc.) et de dresser leurs cartes d'interactions moléculaires [11,22]. Cette « molécularisation » de la médecine s'inscrit toutefois dans une évo-lution historique de la biologie et de la biomédecine qui débute dès la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale et n'est pas propre à la médecine personnalisée [23][24][25].…”

“…Finalement, la dernière étape consiste en la prescription d'un traitement ciblant le produit d'un des gènes altérés. Séquencer, stratifier, cibler : telle est la suite des actions caractérisant les pratiques dominantes de la médecine personnalisée actuelle [11,12,22,30]. Rappelons que la médecine personnalisée est au coeur des politiques de santé publique puisque l'Institut national du cancer a soutenu la création de 28 platesformes hospitalières de génétique moléculaire qui maillent le territoire national et qui ont pour vocation de permettre un égal accès des patients cancéreux aux tests moléculaires et aux traitements innovants.…”
