Genome-based pharmacogenetics and the pharmaceutical industry.
Pharmacogenetic capabilities have changed markedly since The SNP Consortium made a dense single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) map freely available in 2001. For more than 40 years, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drug-metabolizing molecules were the focus of practical applications. Today, it is possible to use SNP-mapping technologies to create a genetic profile of each individual that can be used to identify patterns of susceptibility genes for common diseases as well as genetic risk/efficacy factors that are related to the effects of drugs.
