ABSTRACT

Autoimmune disorders are a broad category of complex, chronic ailments caused by the immune system wrongly targeting the body’s tissues. The variety of over 80 diverse autoimmune illnesses makes effective therapy difficult. Precision medicine, a personalised approach based on individual genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, has emerged as a viable treatment method for autoimmune illnesses. Genomic technology and biomarkers are critical in identifying and tailoring therapy options for patients. This study investigates the concept of precision medicine, its applicability in autoimmune illnesses, and the obstacles that come with its implementation. Real-world case studies demonstrate its ability to transform treatment outcomes. The future of autoimmune disease management through precision medicine is dependent on addressing ethical problems, progressing genomic research, and increasing access to these cutting-edge medications.

Keywords: Precision medicine, autoimmune diseases, genomics, biomarkers, personalized treatment
