Abstract
Considerable variety in how patients respond to treatments, driven by differences in their geno- and/ or phenotypes, calls for a more tailored approach. This is already happening, and will accelerate with developments in personalized medicine. However, its promise has not always translated into improvements in patient care due to the complexities involved. There are also concerns that advice for tests has been reversed, current tests can be costly, there is fragmentation of funding of care, and companies may seek high prices for new targeted drugs. There is a need to integrate current knowledge from a payer's perspective to provide future guidance. Multiple findings including general considerations; influence of pharmacogenomics on response and toxicity of drug therapies; value of biomarker tests; limitations and costs of tests; and potentially high acquisition costs of new targeted therapies help to give guidance on potential ways forward for all stakeholder groups. Overall, personalized medicine has the potential to revolutionize care. However, current challenges and concerns need to be addressed to enhance its uptake and funding to benefit patients.

Toma I, St Laurent G, McCaffrey TA. Toward knowing the whole human: next-generation sequencing for personalized medicine. Per Med 2011; 8:483-491.

Abstract
The sequencing of the human genome, combined with brilliant technical advances in microarrays and computing, opened the genomic era of personalized medicine. The next generation of genomics is now being driven by massively parallel sequencers that are effectively high definition genetic analyzers capable of sequencing an entire human genome 30-times over in approximately a week for several thousand US dollars. Likewise, these next-generation sequencers, sometimes called deep sequencers, can sequence RNA transcriptomes to render unprecedented, high definition views of transcript sequence, SNP haplotypes, rare variants, splicing, exon boundaries and RNA editing. Presently, next-generation sequencing platforms can be grouped into ‘discovery’ platforms, which provide broad sequence coverage, but require days per sample, versus ‘diagnostic’ platforms, which provide a fraction of the coverage, but require only hours for sequencing. As these technologies converge, it will be possible to sequence a human genome in a matter of hours for a few hundred US dollars. While presenting considerable technical challenges in handling the massive data generated, next-generation sequencing platforms offer unparalleled opportunities for biological insights, target discovery and clinical diagnostics to accelerate personalized medicine in the coming years.
