- The fields of human genetics and genomics have generated considerable knowledge about the mechanistic basis of many diseases. Genomic approaches to diagnosis, prognostication, prevention and treatment - genomic-driven precision medicine (GDPM) - may help optimize medical practice. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of GDPM of complex diseases across major medical specialties. We focus on technological readiness: how rapidly a test can be implemented into health care. Although these areas of medicine are diverse, key similarities exist across almost all areas. Many medical areas have, within their standards of care, at least one GDPM test for a genetic variant of strong effect that aids the identification/diagnosis of a more homogeneous subset within a larger disease group or identifies a subset with different therapeutic requirements. However, for almost all complex diseases, the majority of patients do not carry established single-gene mutations with large effects. Thus, research is underway that seeks to determine the polygenic basis of many complex diseases. Nevertheless, most complex diseases are caused by the interplay of genetic, behavioural and environmental risk factors, which will likely necessitate models for prediction and diagnosis that incorporate genetic and non-genetic data.

- Background: Treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN 3) removes or destroys part of the cervix and might subsequently influence pregnancy outcomes. Objective: To investigate pregnancy outcomes in women diagnosed with CIN 3. Design: Population- and sibling-matched cohort study. Setting: Sweden, 1973 to 2018. Participants: The general population comparison included 78 450 singletons born to women diagnosed with CIN 3 and 784 500 matched singletons born to women in the general population who had no CIN 3 diagnosis; the sibling comparison included 23 199 singletons born to women diagnosed with CIN 3 and 28135 singletons born to their sisters without a CIN 3 diagnosis. Measurements: Preterm birth, including spontaneous or iatrogenic preterm birth; infection-related outcomes, including chorioamnionitis and infant sepsis; and early neonatal death, defined as death during the first week after birth. Results: Compared with the matched general population, women previously diagnosed with CIN 3 were more likely to have a preterm birth, especially extremely preterm (22 to 28 weeks; odds ratio [OR], 3.00 [95% CI, 2.69 to 3.34]) or spontaneous preterm (OR, 2.12 [CI, 2.05 to 2.20]); infection-related outcomes, including chorioamnionitis (OR, 3.23 [CI, 2.89 to 3.62]) and infant sepsis (OR, 1.72 [CI, 1.60 to 1.86]); or early neonatal death (OR, 1.83 [CI, 1.61 to 2.09]). Sibling comparison analyses rendered largely similar results. Over time, the risk difference attenuated for all outcomes and disappeared for early neonatal death. Limitation: Lack of data on CIN 3 treatment and spontaneous abortion. Conclusion: History of CIN 3 is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes even after accounting for familial factors. Decreasing risk estimates over time suggest that adverse pregnancy outcomes among women diagnosed with CIN 3 may be minimized by improving treatment methods. © 2022 American College of Physicians.
