Pharmacogenetics in the cancer clinic: from candidate gene studies to next-generation sequencing.

Abstract excerpt

Genetics has significantly added to our understanding of variability in drug response, especially in cancer treatment. Pharmacogenetics, aimed at predicting a patient's chance for effective and safe drug treatment by interrogating germ line genetic variants, has moved from investigating a monogenetic candidate gene to examining complex phenotype-based genome-wide approaches. With the rapid advances in sequencing...
