Pharmacogenomics Knowledge Base ( PharmGKB)

The Pharmacogenomics Knowledge Base (PharmGKB) is a scientific resource that compiles information about how genes affect a person's response to medications. It helps researchers and healthcare professionals understand the relationship between genetics and drug effectiveness or side effects. By examining variations in DNA, PharmGKB aims to guide personalized medicine, ensuring that treatments are tailored to individual genetic profiles. This can lead to more effective therapies with fewer adverse reactions, ultimately improving patient care and safety in medication management.
