Pharmacogenetics and Individualized Therapy

Pharmacogenetics focuses on genetic determinants of drug response at the level of single genes. Pharmacogenetics and Individualized Therapy presents a thorough coverage of pharmacogenetics and its impact on pharmaceuticals, therapeutics, and clinical practice. With an overview of the molecular basis of pharmacogenetics, the book helps readers understand the implications of genetic variability on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. With contributions from academic and industrial leaders, the book sheds light on specific therapeutic areas and clinical aspects.
