What is Pharmacogenomics?

Author Name: Dr. H. K. Saboowala | Format: Paperback | Genre : Educational & Professional | Other Details
Pharmacogenomics is the study of how an individual's genetic inheritance affects the body's response to drugs. The term comes from the words pharmacology and genomics and is thus the intersection of pharmaceuticals and genetics It is the branch of pharmacology which deals with the influence of genetic variation on drug response in patients by correlating gene expression or singlenucleotide polymorphisms with a drug's efficacy or toxicity. An attempt has been made in this Booklet to describe comprehensively the aims to develop rational means to optimize drug therapy, with respect to the patients genotype, to ensure maximum efficacy with minimal adverse effects. Such aims promise the advent of personalized medicine, in which drugs and drug combinations are optimized for each individual's unique genetic makeup. Pharmacogenomics is the whole genome application of pharmacogenetics, which examines the single gene interactions with drugs.
