Awareness of rare diseases is growing, and with a better understanding of the pathophysiology of many rare diseases, innovative treatment options are emerging, like gene therapies that can treat the root cause of rare genetic diseases and potentially provide long-term symptom relief, or even a definitive cure.

PrecisionLife and the University of Oxford have signed a data access agreement to license the Oxford Endometriosis Gene (OXEGENE) dataset to develop new personalised treatments for endometriosis patients. We hope that the analysis of our data will lead to the development of precision medicines to improve the lives of patients.”

The cost of testing per human genome in 2006 was approximately $14 million , and in less than two decades, an average consumer-purchased genetic test costs $100. The same is becoming true for the healthcare industry, and one of the first major breakthroughs in the area was the 100,000 Genomes Project.

Pharmacogenomics, the understanding of how genes impact an individual’s response to medications, provides a potential outlet to better optimised therapies. There have been great strides made in genomics to refine tools that determine the safest, most effective course of treatments for patients across a number of disease states.

The first complete, gapless sequence of a human genome was published 1 April 2022 in a special issue of the journal Science 1. While The Human Genome Project mapped about 92% of the human genome two decades ago, sequencing the last 8% of the genome proved highly challenging.
