Your Genes Are Not Your Destiny: Re-engineering your physiology with N-of-1 interventions

Lauren Klein, PA-C

Comite Center for Precision Medicine, New York, NY

Precision Medicine is grounded in the collection, integration, and interpretation of N-of-1 data to assess disease risk and improve health outcomes in every patient. Family history is an essential piece to this assessment, which illustrates what may present in a patient’s health trajectory with time and age. As biotechnology has advanced in the 21st century, genetic testing has become less expensive and more accessible for clinicians practicing age management medicine. Together with family history, clinical insights derived from genetic testing can revolutionize the quality and efficacy of preventive care. This presentation covers the core principles of Precision Medicine, followed by an extensive review on the utility of genetic testing in our clinical practice. Audience members will learn how to interpret genetic data to optimize cardiovascular health and slow the aging process.
