With the advent of genome-wide association studies, numerous associations between specific gene loci and complex diseases have been identified—for breast cancer, coronary artery disease, and asthma, for example. This rapidly advancing field of genomics has stirred great interest in "personalized" he...

Description
The Roundtable on Translating Genomic-Based Research for Health (now the Roundtable on Genomics and Precision Health) was established by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to provide a structured opportunity for dialogue and discussion of relevant issues related to the translation of genomic information for use in maintaining and improving health. The Roundtable identified a need for a workshop to examine existing systems that create the kinds of resources and structure that facilitate evaluation of genome-based health care. More specifically, the focus of the workshop will address the practical realities of creating such systems; the different models that could be used; the strengths and weaknesses of each model; and the effectiveness of such systems in addressing health outcomes.
