Gene products are proteins or RNA molecules that are encoded by specific genes in an organism's genome. These products play critical roles in various biological processes, such as metabolism, cell signaling, and gene regulation.

In the healthcare industry, gene products are of great importance. They serve as targets for drug development, diagnostics, and therapeutic interventions. For example, identifying specific gene products that are overproduced or underproduced in diseased cells can help researchers develop drugs that either inhibit or activate these proteins to treat the disease. Similarly, gene products can be used as biomarkers that indicate the presence or progression of a disease, which can aid in early diagnosis and treatment. Gene therapy, a relatively new but promising approach, entails the use of gene products to treat genetic disorders by replacing, editing, or augmenting mutations that cause disease.

Recent technological advancements have facilitated the discovery of new gene products and their functions, which have opened up new avenues for healthcare innovation and personalized medicine.
