Perspectives in Pharmacology Genetics and Susceptibility to Toxic Chemicals: Do You (or Should You) Know Your Genetic Profile?

This review is based on a symposium/roundtable session, sponsored by the Division of Toxicology of the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, that was held at the 2002 Experimental Biology meeting in New Orleans, LA. The focus is on the role of pharmacogenomics in determining individual susceptibility to chemically induced toxicity. An individual’s risk of disease from...

Patients' and physicians' perspectives on pharmacogenetic testing.

INTRODUCTION The integration of pharmacogenetic testing into routine care will, in part, depend upon the patients' and physicians' acceptance of these tests. Empirical data regarding patients' and physicians' views on pharmacogenetic testing are lacking. OBJECTIVES To explore patients' and physicians' perspectives on the potential implications of pharmacogenetic testing, particularly focusing...
