Pharmacogenomics and Personalized Medicine

Pharmacogenomics is the study of how an individual's genetic makeup influences their response to drugs. Genetic variations can affect drug metabolism, receptor activity, and drug transport, leading to differences in drug efficacy and toxicity among individuals. Pharmacogenomic testing can identify genetic markers that influence drug responses, enabling healthcare providers to personalize treatment regimens for patients. For example, genetic variations in CYP enzymes can impact the metabolism of...
