Abstract

The advancements in Science and Technology are paving way to reconsider the manner in which we define disease, drug development, diagnosis and treatment. The analytical capabilities of biological specimens have seen an explosion and have contributed tremendously to the diagnosis of diseases in general and genetic diseases in particular. There is a transformation of description of diseases from simple anatomical location and clinical symptoms which failed to take into consideration the unique biological profile of the patient, which could determine the therapeutic efficacy of the drugs being administered.
