Abstract excerpt
Genetic inheritance plays a significant role in the interindividual variability of drug response. The field of pharmacogenomics seeks to identify genetic factors that influence drug response, including both those that are inherited and those that arise within tumors, and use this information to improve drug therapy. Candidate gene approaches have led to clinical tests for toxicity avoidance (eg, TPMT, UGT1A1) and...
