Abstract

Disease prevention includes all activities that could be used to prevent the occurrence and manifestation of disease manifestations, to detect the disease early and to apply appropriate therapy in a timely manner.  

Implementation of precision medicine strategies include genetic analyses, factors of the external environment as well as the way a person lives, to precisely select the treatment that is most appropriate and effective for that person.   

Precision medicine also includes information obtained from genetic tests - the so-called. "OMICS" (GEN-omics, TRANSCRIPT-omics, EPIGEN-omics, METABOL-omics, PROTE-omics, MICRO-omics), i.e. technologies and data analyzes that provide accurate clinical, biological and molecular phenotype.

Precision medicine opens the chapter of health care, preventive medicine and preventive pediatrics.

Improving lifestyle and avoiding harmful environmental factors could affect gene function, and could be use in prevention and development of precise preventive health strategies.
