Benefits of precision medicine [2]

Diagnose disease more accurately
Select optimal therapies and target medicines and dosages precisely
Increase safety, reduce adverse drug reactions
Detect onset of disease at the earliest moment, incl. detection of early subclinical correlates of neuronal death prior to clinical (motor) manifestation
Shift emphasis in medicine from reaction to prevention (i.e., protection of neurons to avoid neuroal death)
Increase the efficiency of the health system by improving quality
