What Are Some Examples of Pharmacogenomic Applications?
One well-known example is the use of genetic testing for dosing. Variants in the and genes can significantly impact how patients metabolize and respond to warfarin, an anticoagulant. By testing for these variants, doctors can more accurately determine the appropriate dose for each patient, reducing the risk of bleeding or clotting. Another example is the testing for status in breast cancer patients to determine the suitability of trastuzumab therapy.
