Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms in the human genome contribute to wide variations in how individuals respond to medications, either by changing the pharmacokinetics of drugs or by altering the cellular response to therapeutic agents. The goal of the emerging discipline of pharmacogenomics is to personalize therapy based on an individual's genotype. Due to the relatively large frequency of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in...
