| pharmacogenomics |
The use of (DNA-based) genotyping in order to target pharmaceutical agents to specific patient populations. Genetic differences are known to affect responses to many types of drug therapy, and pharmacogenomics analysis serves to customize the use of pharmaceuticals for specific subgroups of patients.The rationale for this approach is that observed gene expression differences may correlate with, and explain, the differences in side effects and efficacy to drugs in humans.
