Sažetak
Introduction: Precision medicine is defined as methods of treatment targeted towards needs of individual patient based on genetic characteristics, biomarkers, phenotype, or psychosocial characteristics with modifications of medical procedures to the individual needs of each patient. Discussion: To achieve success and efficacy of precision medicine there is a need for classifying patients based on their affinity to disease or based on their response to therapeutical interventions what enables focusing of preventive or therapeutical interventions to those who will benefit the most. In child neurology precision medicine is strongest in epilepsies, but the relevance
is seen in neuromuscular and other diseases. By participating in clinical studies and collecting multidimensional dana on our patients we move the limits of precision medicine to allow future generation to define this concept even better and to use it for even more patients. Conclusion: We still have a long way to full integration of precision medicine to clinical practice. High cost of treatment, precise information on risks and benefits of treatment, as well as consensus on standardization of efficacy evaluation for particular diagnostic procedure or treatment method still stand as goals of precision medicine that we need to strive to.
