Genomics are in their infancy and already revolutionizing medical diagnoses and treatment. Genomic tests have infiltrated most specialties and are quickly becoming more accessible and affordable due to technical advances in DNA and RNA sequencing. The overall understanding of genomics in healthcare is limited, particularly in dermatology.
