Pharmacogenomics studies how genetic variations affect drug metabolism, efficacy, and toxicity. By analyzing genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes (CYPs), transporters (SLCOs, ABCs), drug targets, and HLA types, we can predict individual drug response and prevent adverse drug reactions that cause 100,000+ deaths annually in the US.
