Introduction
Pharmacogenomics
and Pharmacogenetics is the study of how genes affect a person’s
response to drugs. Patients may fail to respond to medication because of
excessive medication or lack of appropriate drug transporters or
receptors.
This discipline examines the inherited
variations in genes that dictate drug response and explores the ways
these variations can be used to predict whether a patient will have an
optimal response to a drug.
