Preparing Australia for Genomic Medicine: A proposal by the Australian Genomics Health Alliance

人类基因组的测序使更准确地识别许多疾病的潜在基础成为可能。然而，这项技术发展如此之快，以至于临床使用受到限制。在这一应用中，一个由临床医生、研究人员、卫生经济学家和政策制定者组成的国家联盟将评估遗传疾病和癌症的临床基因组学案例，确定如何最好地将其提供给患者，并培训一支有能力的劳动力队伍。

The sequencing of the human genome brings the possibility of more accurate identification of the underlying basis of many diseases. This technology has moved so rapidly, however, that clinical access has been limited. In this application, a national alliance of clinicians, researchers, health economists and policymakers will evaluate the case for clinical genomics across inherited disease and cancer, determine how best to deliver this to the patient and train a capable workforce.
