Pharmacogenetics in Ghana: reviewing the evidence.

Ghana medical journal - 1 Jun 2011

Kudzi W, Adjei G O, Ofori-Adjei D, Dodoo A N O

Abstract excerpt

Different clinical response of different patients to the same medicine has been recognised and documented since the 1950's. Variability in response of individuals to standard doses of drug therapy is important in clinical practice and can lead to therapeutic failures or adverse drug reactions. Pharmacogenetics seeks to identify individual genetic differences (polymorphisms) in drug absorption, metabolism,...
