Definitions : SNP, omics
Personalized choice of the medicinal product
Personalized dosage of the medicinal product
Problems and first achievements
Individualized treatment of cancer
Genome-wide association studies
Technological evolution of sequencing :
« The 1,000 $ genome challenge »
Generalization of genome sequencing :
ethical, legal and practical issues
A representative sample of the
slides that will be presented and
discussed during the course is
displayed hereafter.
Different types of SNP
• Outside genes : no impact
• In the genes coding sequence :
• change of base but not of amino acid (cf
redundancy of genetic code : GCA et GCC both
code for alanine)
• change of amino acid : more or less impressive
modification of function (loss or gain)
• In the promoter region :  or  transcription of the gene
and protein expression
• In the mRNA 3’-untranslated region :  (or ) sensitivity
to miRNA (that inhibit translation and destabilize mRNA).
Ome, Omics
• Genomics: all the genes
• pharmacogenomics : choice of personalized
medicine
• nutrigenomics : choice of best diet
• toxicogenomics : prediction of toxicity
• Epigenomics: all epigenetic changes in genome
• Transcriptomics: all the mRNAs  microarrays
• Proteomics : all the proteins
• Interactomics : all interactions between all proteins
• Metabolomics (or metabonomics) : all metabolites
• …
« Personalized medicines »
based on pharmacogenomics
• Identification of genes conferring to individuals who carry
them a better sensitivity to the therapeutic action of a
medicine or a better tolerance (drug metabolizing enzymes,
disease susceptibility factors)
• Genotyping before inclusion in a clinical trial statistical
power and cost
• Simultaneous marketing of a medicinal product and
availability of a genetic test to identify patients to treat
• Restriction of the market but higher price since efficacy is
optimized (or adverse effects decreased) .
From personalized medicine
to precision medicine
• Some are skeptical that medicine will really be
personalized, while others say that physicians have
always adapted treatment to their individual patients.
• Precision medicine implies that diseases are defined by
underlying molecular mechanisms rather than traditional
signs and symptoms.

Lebrikizumab
treatment
in asthma :
efficacy
related to
serum periostin
Lebrikizumab is a monoclonal
antibody that neutralizes IL-13.
IL-13 induces bronchial epithelial cells
to secrete periostin.
Patients with high serum periostin
respond better.

Take home messages
• The business model of biopharma is changing and can
now include personalized medicines.
• The major difficulty is to identify SNPs with a strong
impact on treatment choice/dosage.
• Personalized medicines are making progress especially
in cancer treatment, but also in asthma.
• A key element is the astounding evolution of technology
with a dramatic decrease in the cost of sequencing.
