"One Size Doesn't Fit All"

Pharmacogenetics is the study of how genes affect the way people respond to medicines, including antidepressants, chemotherapy, drugs for asthma and heart disease, and many others. The ultimate goal of pharmacogenetics research is to help tailor medicines to people's unique genetic make-ups. This will make medicines safer and more effective for everyone.
