Pharmacogenomics and Adverse Drug Reactions: Genes and Drug

Wenmei Liu

Pharmacogenomics is an emerging field of study that focuses on how an individual's genetic makeup influences their response to drugs. It seeks to understand the relationship between genetic variations and drug efficacy, safety, and Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs). ADRs are unintended and harmful reactions that occur due to the use of medications, and they can range from mild to severe, sometimes even leading to hospitalization or death. Pharmacogenomics aims to bridge the gap between genes and drugs by providing insights into personalized medicine, optimizing drug therapy, and reducing the occurrence of ADRs
