Pharmacogenetics

The terms pharmacogenomics and pharmacogenetics tend to be used interchangeably, and a precise, consensus definition of either remains elusive. Pharmacogenetics is generally regarded as the study or clinical testing of genetic variation that gives rise to differing response to drugs, while pharmacogenomics is the broader application of genomic technologies to new drug discovery and further characterization of older drugs. Pharmacogenetics considers one or at most a few genes of interest, while pharmacogenomics considers the entire genome.

Pharmacogenetics is the study of how the actions of and reactions to drugs vary with the patient's genes. [more]Pharmacogenetics - Community and Resources

Noun
1. the branch of genetics that studies the genetically determined variations in responses to drugs in humans or laboratory organisms
(hypernym) genetics, genetic science

The convergence of pharmacology and genetics dealing with genetically determined responses to drugs. For example, after the administration of a muscle relaxant commonly used in surgery, a patient may remains apneic incapable of breathing on their own for hours due to a genetically determined defect in metabolizing (processing) the muscle relaxant.
