A perspective on Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics

Abstract

Nouah M Jarari, S. Omer Sheriff and D.S. Sheriff

Pharmacogenetics is the study of variability in dru g response and toxicity due to genetic factors. Pharmacogenomics applies the information gained by pharmacogenetics to the development of medications. The field of pharmacogenomics has led to the development of genotyping technologies which has allowed for wider screening for inherited causes of variable outcomes following drug administration.
