Genetic Screening

What is Genomic Medicine?

Genetics helps individuals and families learn more about how conditions are inherited in families, what screenings and testing options are available, and what treatments may be available for some genetic conditions.

Genomic medicine is the study of our genes (DNA) and their interactions with our health. Each person has a unique set of DNA, which is why Renown believes that we should use a person’s biological information to help personalize and improve care to achieve better health outcomes.

The Importance of Genetic Research

Genetic research helps us better understand medical conditions, the progression of disease, how people may metabolize medications, lead to future treatments, and more. It is also important to have representation from all ethnicities, genders, and backgrounds so the research encompasses a diverse population. This diversity helps ensure the research we do is reflective of everyone.
