pharmacogenomics
Definition
- Pharmacogenomics is a branch of pharmaceutics which covers the influence of how genetic variation can affect drug responses in humans by correlating the drug's efficacy and toxicity with gene expression or single-nucleotide polymorphisms. The aim of this is to help researchers develop a comprehensive way of optimizing the use of drug therapy to ensure that it is prescribed in the most effective manner, to maximize its effects and also minimize any adverse reactions.
