Pharmacogenomics is the science of applying genomic information
to determine variability in drug efficacy and toxicity [1]. While
genetic information has been widely used in medicine for single-
gene mutation disorders, this information has been less commonly
used to diagnose and treat complex disorders. Over the last decade,
there has been an explosion of scientific data surrounding the
use of pharmacogenomic information to optimize drug therapy for
complex disorders. Due to the rapid growth in this area, scientists
and clinicians need to be familiar with the most current literature.
