Description
"Summarizes the history of, and available applications, techniques, and approaches to, pharmacogenomics--improving efficacy and tolerance to pharmaceutical compounds, evaluating pharmacogenomics on clinical trial design, and increasing the chances of successful clinical trials and patient outcomes. Compares pharmacogenomics to pharmacogenetics, focusing on the essential components that incorporate individual genetic variations to drug regimens resulting in different responses to therapeutics."
