Zusammenfassung:Rapid advances in genomics have led to a new era of precision medicine, resulting in a substantial increase in the number of genetic tests available for research and clinical practice. Here, Khoury discusses why the need for evidence in genomic medicine is more important than ever. Two recent systematic reviews clearly show an insufficient evidence base for large-scale implementation of genomic medicine.
