Pharmacogenomics is a combined study of Medicine and
genomics. Pharmacogenomics is a science that examines the
inherited variations in genes that dictate drug response
and explores the ways these variations can be used to
predict whether a patient will have a good response to a
drug, a bad response to a drug, or no response at all.
