ABSTRACT
Pharmacogenomics is the study of genes and how a drug's effects on a person's response.
Pharmacogenomics is a rapidly developing field of medicine that combines the fields of genomics, which studies genes, and pharmacology, which studies drugs, to create safe, effective doses of medication that
are specific to each patient's genetic preferences. One of the most important programs in which scientists
are creating and learning about the relationship between genes and how the body reacts to drugs is the
Human Genome Project. Variations in genetic composition contribute to variations in drug efficacy and can be used to forecast future therapeutic efficacy for a given individual as well as investigate the occurrence of adverse drug reactions. Pharmacogenomics is still in its infancy, despite advances in science
and technology. Pharmacogenomics is not widely used, although new methods are continually being
tested in clinical settings. Pharmacogenomics will soon make it possible to create specialized medications to treat common health issues like HIV, cancer, asthma, neurological diseases, and cardiovascular disorders.
Keywords: Pharmacogenomics, Gene Sequencing, Genotyping, Phenotyping.
