Misdiagnosis has been reported among the leading causes of death, along with cancer, heart disease, and respiratory diseases [1]. A fair amount of literature has been published in impactful peerreviewed journals, which discuss medication error and delayed treatment, and is accessible through authentic resources (e.g., PubMed) [2]). One of the most trending subjects in life sciences, which addresses these issues and contributes to providing personalized treatment to patients, is genomic and precision medicine [3]. It involves patient engagement, analyzing medical records to examine provided diagnoses and treatment outcomes, and investigating the genomic profile to understand disease mechanisms and propose better treatments [4]. Furthermore, it promotes integrating and analyzing different kinds of patient data (e.g., clinical, sociodemographic, behavioral, biomedical image, and multi-omics) to form multimodal data to discover important risk factors and biomarkers, which could be used to prevent and predict diseases [5]. This research topic focuses on gathering the most up-to-date knowledge on recent advances in analytical approaches, including deep and machine learning models for identifying disease-associated genes and rare variants, and predicting the best treatment outcomes for genomic and precision medicine. Successfully achieving the goals of this research topic, we were able to publish five interesting peer-reviewed articles … … …
