Core Tip	Genomic medicine in hepatology studies the gene-environment interactions that lead to the development of liver diseases. The liver expresses numerous genes involved in the physiology and pathophysiology of several co-morbidities, such as diabetes, chronic liver disease, and cardiovascular disease. This work aims to provide an overview of the study of the liver from the early days to genomic medicine, emphasizing its role in chronic diseases to diagnose and prevent them in their early stages. It also highlights the need to train healthcare professionals in genomic medicine to create a new approach to medicine in Mexico and other Latin American countries.
