Precision and
Personalized Medicine:
The Role of Phenotypes
P
henotyping is the process of observing and measuring
the observable traits or characteristics of an individual,
often in the context of genetics or medicine. These traits
can include physical characteristics, behaviors, biochemical
markers, and other measurable features that provide
insights into an individual's phenotype. In the field of precision and
personalized medicine, phenotyping plays a crucial role in tailoring
medical treatments and interventions to the specific characteristics
of each patient.
Phenotyping allows for a deeper understanding of an individual's
unique characteristics, contributing to more effective and targeted
medical interventions. By integrating phenotypic data with
genetic information, healthcare providers can make informed
decisions that align with the specific needs of each patient, ultimately
improving treatment outcomes and overall healthcare delivery.
Phenomix Sciences is a precision medicine biotechnology
company that brings data intelligence to the treatment of obesity.
In this Q&A, Mark Bagnall, CEO of Phenomix Sciences, explains
how phenotyping is driving the development of products to treat
- and conquer - this disease.
MDB: How does phenotyping enable you to understand disease
and tailor treatments?
Mark Bagnall: Based on the scientific discoveries of Phenomix's
founders, Dr. Andres Acosta and Dr. Michael Camilleri of the Mayo
Clinic, obesity is not one disease but many, at least four of which can
be determined by clinical examination, or phenotyping. Phenotyping
looks at a patient's DNA, metabolomics, hormones, and behavioral
assessments to accurately predict their obesity type and tailor treatments
that address it specifically. This paves the way for long-term
weight loss by getting to the root of the problem.
