Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City announced that 25,000 individuals have agreed to participate in its biobank program, which aims at linking a person's genetic information with a range of clinical and environmental information stored in his or her electronic medical record.
The program, called BioMe, uses a new platform called "Clinical Implementation of Personalized Medicine through Electronic Health Records and Genomics" or CLIPMERGE to communicate with the EMR and give physicians real-time guidance based on a patient's genetic profile. Currently, real-time feedback for therapies, based on DNA, is only available for cardiovascular disease, blood clots and high cholesterol.
