Abstract excerpt
Almost all drugs that produce a favorable response (efficacy) may also produce adverse effects (toxicity). The relative strengths of drug efficacy and toxicity that vary in human populations are controlled by the combined influences of multiple genes and environmental influences. Genetic mapping has proven to be a powerful tool for detecting and identifying specific DNA sequence variants on the basis of the...
