Pharmacogenetics


SNPs seem to explain why people react differently to different types or amounts of medicines. For example, patients can react differently to the same heart medication, such as a "beta-blocker". Since SNPs can affect the structure and function of proteins and enzymes, they can influence how efficiently a medicine is absorbed and metabolized. A major goal of the pharmacogenetics industry is to use the science of SNPs to determine which drugs are most suitable for any given patient.

Yours in health,
