It has been well established that understanding the underlying heterogeneity of numerous complex disease process needs new strategies that present in precision medicine for prediction, prevention and personalized treatment strategies. This approach must be tailored for each individual's unique omics that lead to personalized management of disease. The correlation between different omics data should be considered in precision medicine approach. The interaction provides a hypothesis which is called domino effect in the present minireview. Here we review the various potentials of omics data including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, pharmacogenomics. We comprehensively summarize the impact of omics data and its major role in precision medicine and provide a description about the domino effect on the pathophysiology of diseases. Each constituent of the omics data typically provides different information in associated with disease. Current research, although inadequate, clearly indicate that the information of omics data can be applicable in the concept of precision medicine. Integration of different omics data type in domino effect hypothesis can explain the causative changes of disease as it is discussed in the system biology too. While most existing studies investigate the omics data separately, data integration is needed on the horizon of precision medicine by using machine learning.
