Pharmacogenomics and Rheumatological Practice

Pharmacogenomics, the study of the effect of genetics on the variation in drug response, is designed to maximize drug efficacy and minimize adverse effects. It is assuming increasing importance in clinical practice. Rheumatologists, who manage patients with complex diseases with unpredictable outcom...
