Molecular Pharmacogenomics

Molecular pharmacogenomics is the study of how a person's genetic makeup influences their response to medications. In the context of molecular pathology, it examines the relationship between specific genetic variations and the effectiveness or side effects of drugs used to treat diseases. By understanding these genetic factors, healthcare providers can personalize treatments for individuals, choosing the most suitable medications at the right doses. This approach aims to improve treatment outcomes and minimize adverse effects, making medicine more effective and safer based on each person's unique genetic profile.
