Summary:

Contributors from pharmacology, pathology, and other medical specialties explore the potential to personalize drugs using information from the genome. Readers are not expected to have a background in pharmacogenomics, but those who do will be able to use the book as a quick reference. Among the topics are whether traditional therapeutic drug monitoring and pharmacogenomics are complementary, pharmacogenomic aspects of warfarin therapy, pharmacogenomic considerations in anesthesia and pain management, anti-retroviral therapy, psychoactive drugs, and microarray technology and other methods in pharmacogenomics testing.
