Pharmacogenomics (a portmanteau of pharmacology and genomics) is the study of the role of genetics in drug response. It deals with the influence of genetic variation on drug response in patients by correlating gene expression or single-nucleotide polymorphisms with drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination, as well as drug receptor...

Pharmacogenomics: The study of how variations in the human genome affect the response to medications. The older term 'pharmacogenetics' was created from the words 'pharmacology' and 'genetics' to indicate the intersection of pharmaceuticals and genetics. The sequencing of the human genome and the introduction of new technologies have made it possib...
