Abstract
The relevance of genomic variation to health, implications for risk factors for rare and common diseases, and treatment modalities has been demonstrated. This issue is designed to illuminate the applications of genomic discoveries in a variety of nursing practice areas. Currently genomic discoveries are influencing diagnoses, treatment, and prevention at a rapid pace, with hopes that we will improve healthcare outcomes worldwide. To this end genetics and genomic literacy are essential for all nurses. This issue provides some foundational information for nurses who wish to obtain a broader, yet more in-depth understanding on genomics and it's impact on the patient, health care in general, and future treatment modalities. -- From preface.
