Pharmacogenomics

Pharmacogenomics, sometimes also called as Pharmacogenetics, is a field of research that studies how a person’s genes affect and respond to medications. Its long-term goal is to help doctors with selection of the drugs and doses that are best suited for a person. It is a part of the field of precision medicine, which aims to treat patients individually. Pharmacogenomics is a type of genetic testing that looks for small variations within genes.
