10 Doug Brutlag 2011 Impact of Genomics on Medicine I. Diagnostics Genomics: Identifying all known human genes Functional Genomics: Functional analysis of genes –In what tissues are they important? –When in development are the genes used? –How are they regulated? Novel diagnostics –Linking genes to diseases and to traits –Predisposition to diseases –Expression of genes and disease Personal Genomics –Understanding the link between genomics and environment –Increased vigilance and taking action to prevent disease –Improving health care

11 Doug Brutlag 2011 Impact of Genomics on Medicine II. Therapeutics Novel Drug Development –Identifying novel drug targets –Validating drug targets –Predicting toxicity and adverse reactions –Improving clinical trials and testing Gene therapy –Replacing the gene rather than the gene product Stem cells therapies –Replacing the entire cell type or tissue to cure a disease Pharmacogenomics –Personalized medicine –Adjusting drug, amounts and delivery to suit patients –Maximize efficacy and minimize side effects –Identify genetics of adverse reactions –Identify patients who respond optimally

12 Doug Brutlag 2011 Impact of Genomics on Medicine III. Ethical, Legal and Social Issues Personal Privacy Insurability Employability Discrimination Genetic selection versus eugenics Cosmetic genetics Patentability of genes, proteins and other natural products

13 Doug Brutlag 2011 Impact of Genomics on Medicine IV. Strategic Genomics can discover disease associated genes Genomics can discover disease causing genes. Genomics provides understanding of disease Genomics and bioinformatics provides basis for novel drug development Genomics provides basis for novel genetic and stem cell therapies Genomics provides the basis for preventive medicine.

14 Doug Brutlag 2011 Preventive Medicine

15 Doug Brutlag 2011 Founder of Preventive Medicine: Louis Pasteur When thinking about diseases, I never think about how to cure them, but instead I think about how to prevent them.

16 Doug Brutlag 2011 Preventive Medicine The goal is to prevent disease from occurring. First one must identify the cause of the disease. Treat the cause of the disease rather than the symptoms –Example 1: Peptic Ulcers –Example 2: Pyrogens Genomics identifies genetic causes of inherited disease. When Paul Wise (a Stanford pediatrician) heard that we may soon sequence every child’s genome at birth, he stated: –“… all medicine may soon become pediatrics!” Overlooked accidents, infectious disease, auto immune disease and aging: environmental or acquired diseases Genetic penetrance and environment

17 Doug Brutlag 2011 Health Care Policy Current health care treats disease rather than maintaining health (Illness care?) Future health care prevent disease Reduce need for expensive interventions Need policies that incentivize patients and doctors to prevent disease. Need social pressures to control behavior and increase vigilance.

18 Doug Brutlag 2011 Huntington Disease Film

19 Doug Brutlag 2011 The Inheritance You are 18 years old. Your father abandoned you and your mother when you only 2 years old. Your father died this year and left you an inheritance. He died from an autosomal dominant disease known as Huntington’s Chorea or Huntington’s Disease. You have a 50% chance of inheriting this invariably fatal neurodegenerative disease. But there is a genetic test for this disease that can tell you not only if you have the disease, and if you do, when you will die from it. Would you take the genetic test or not? Why?
