Despite the advances in modern medicines, physicians and pharmaceutical companies alike fail to determine a patient's response to treatment. Drugs that are safe and effective to some may be useless or dangerous to others. There are cases in which the inefficacy of medicines or their adverse effects can be linked to medication errors and other factors. Today, scientists know that some variations in drug response are genetic. While such variations are not readily appreciated, scientists are using such information in formulating medicines. Pharmacogenomics is the scientific investigation of how the variations in genes among individuals affect their response to medicines. Together with the traditional knowledge in biochemisty in producing drugs, this revolutionary study uses the genetic evaluation to determine hypothetical targets for medicines or to determine large-scales variations in the gene expression in response to chemical compounds.With the emergence of pharmacogenomics, the pharmaceutical companies are hopeful to have improved rates in success in some therapeutic classes and develop tailor-formulated treatment for individuals. Doctors will be able to analyze the genetic makeup...more
