I know we have some medical types on the board, so I thought I would create a thread on developments in the area of precision medicine especially with respect to genetics/genomics:
Here's a first article about the use of genetics to improve outcomes for stent recipients:

Please share your thoughts on this and other aspects of precision medicine.Researchers in the Division of Cardiology, School of Pharmacy and UNC McAllister Heart Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are part of a national study which found that a quick, precise genetic test, when used to guide medication selection, can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients who receive a coronary stent.
