Bringing Genomics From the Lab to the Patient
By Center for Individualized Medicine 
Speaking at the Individualizing Medicine Conference last year, Gianrico Farrugia, M.D., Medical Director of the Center for Individualized Medicine at Mayo Clinic, gave an overview of the work being done in genomics at Mayo Clinic, and the future of health care through the Individualized Medicine Clinic. The Individualized Medicine Clinic (IM Clinic) offers genomic […]

Gluten Influence on the Microbiome
Recent research has illustrated that the intestinal microbiome plays a major role in the development of Type 1 diabetes. Researchers at Mayo Clinic, funded by the Iacocca Foundation and a National Institutes of Health RO1 grant, demonstrated that gluten in the diet may in fact modify the intestinal microbiome, increasing incidences of Type 1 diabetes. The findings were published Nov. 13, in PLOS […]

Mayo Clinic Biobank Hits 35,000 Participants
By AJ Montpetit
35,000 and Growing This week, the Biobank recruited its thirty-fifth-thousandth participant, and we’re still growing. With every patient who graciously agrees to have their blood drawn and answer a questionnaire, we are one step closer to offering more individualized medicine for all of our patients. This is particularly so in Florida and Arizona, where […]

The Promise of Whole-Exome Sequencing
By AJ Montpetit
Until recently, polygenic (complex) diseases were beyond the capacity of first-generation sequencing, but next-generation sequencing (NGS) in making exploration of genetic etiology of complex diseases a possibility for the first time. NGS is a rapidly growing area of genomics and gene sequencing, and the rapid changes hold more promise for exome decoding than ever before. […]

The Breast Cancer Genome-Guided Therapy (BEAUTY) study is designed to help researchers better understand why standard chemotherapy eradicates breast cancer in some women but fails in others. The long-term goal is to enable individualized treatment for each woman with breast cancer by using the genetic information found in blood samples and tumor biopsies to […]
