Abstract
Recent years have seen increased use of genomic technologies in a variety of research and clinical settings. Genomic medicine is not a cost-containment measure per se, but is viewed as having the potential to bend the healthcare cost curve. Currently, it is unknown how systematic adoption of genomic medicine in clinical practice will impact healthcare costs. This article discusses the potential economic impact of genomic medicine and the challenges that lie ahead.Mesh:
