description Integrating artificial intelligence (AI), particularly large language models (LLMs), into the healthcare industry is revolutionizing the field of medicine. LLMs possess the capability to analyze the scientific literature and genomic data by comprehending and producing human-like text. This enhances the accuracy, precision, and efficiency of extensive genomic analyses through contextualization. LLMs have made significant advancements in their ability to understand complex genetic terminology and accurately predict medical outcomes. These capabilities allow for a more thorough understanding of genetic influences on health issues and the creation of more effective therapies. This review emphasizes LLMs’ significant impact on healthcare, evaluates their triumphs and limitations in genomic data processing, and makes recommendations for addressing these limitations in order to enhance the healthcare system. It explores the latest advancements in LLMs for genomic analysis, focusing on enhancing disease diagnosis and treatment accuracy by taking into account an individual’s genetic composition. It also anticipates a future in which AI-driven genomic analysis is commonplace in clinical practice, suggesting potential research areas. To effectively leverage LLMs’ potential in personalized medicine, it is vital to actively support innovation across multiple sectors, ensuring that AI developments directly contribute to healthcare solutions tailored to individual patients.
