Genome wide association study in Tehran cardio-metabolic genetic study could promotes precision medicine in Iran

In recent decades trying to identify the role of genetic changes and their effect on the prevention and disease is one of the most fundamental goals of medicine. Since the physicians’ instructions are based on the specification set is an average that cannot be completely effective for wide range of patient. Therefore, precision medicine or personal medicine have used of certain genetic characteristics, genomics and clinical information for each individual. The end of the genome-wide project did planning for more recognition of genetic pattern. The original version of the genome as a book is not edited and non-readable and many researchers around the world had tried to extract and categorize information. In addition, developing large scale of genomic data banks like HapMap and 1000 genomes project would help make more accurate readings do this great book. Genome-wide study on participant of Tehran lipid and glucose study as Iranian researchers have conducted to the oldest and largest prospective study removed a small step toward understanding the genome of the Iranian population. The prospective of the current review article is reviewing the findings from genome-wide studies in precision medicine in whole of the word in recent years then introduces the genome-wide study on the Iranian population.
