Type 3c Diabetes from the perspective of endocrinology (Al-Bahadili et al.). 

Gene variant calling has become a major issue in Precision Medicine, and three papers address the issue and examples of why new considerations are needed:   Editorial - Adding a "Predisposing" variant is addressed (Whitcomb).  Celiac disease and "missing genetics" is explained (QuigleyPolygenic risk scores (PRS) and their use for the land-scape effects of low-risk single nucleotide variants (SNVs) (Greer & DeFrancesco Oranburg).

Precision Medicine papers links healthcare providers caring for patients with complex disorders and genetic information with contextual evidence and statements on what expert would do, given a patient that is like one the physician is facing. Each paper is highly structured to allow the contents to be accurately read by machines and linked to clinical decision support tools (through a subscription service).

The format includes two types of short papers of ~1000 words (relevant topics and expert approaches to a specific problem) and two types of long papers ~3000 words (including broader reviews of medical conditions and broader reviews of complex systems or translational topics). Issues will typically have a primary focus and Guest Editor. The subject matters is precision medicine for functional diseases, chronic inflammatory disorders, cancer risk and early detection, complex syndromes, signs and symptoms where knowledge of the underlying mechanisms is useful.
