The Pharmacogenomics Knowledge Base

The Pharmacogenomics Knowledge Base (PharmGKB) is a scientific resource that collects and organizes information about how a person’s genes influence their response to medications. It helps identify genetic variations that can affect drug effectiveness and the risk of side effects. By understanding these gene-drug relationships, healthcare providers can personalize treatments to improve safety and efficacy. PharmGKB serves researchers, clinicians, and policymakers by providing a trusted database of genetic and drug information, supporting the goal of more precise and effective healthcare tailored to each individual’s genetic makeup.
