Pharmacogenomics

Pharmacogenomics is the study of the role of genetics in drug response. It deals with the effect of genetic variation on drug response in patients by associating gene expression or single-nucleotide polymorphisms with drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination, as well as drug receptor target effects. pharmacogenomics aims to develop rational means to optimize drug therapy, with respect to the patients' genotype, to ensure maximum efficacy with minimal adverse effects. Pharmacogenetics focuses on single drug-gene interactions. It helps in Improve drug safety, and reduce ADRs,Tailor treatments to meet patients' unique genetic pre-disposition, identifying optimal dosing.
