Opportunities and Challenges of Population Pharmacogenomics

Abstract excerpt

Pharmacological responses can vary significantly among patients from different ethnogeographic backgrounds. This variability can, at least in part, be attributed to population-specific genetic patterns in genes involved in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, as well as in genes associated with drug-induced toxicity. Identification of such ethnogeographic variability is thus crucial for the...
