This course examines the influence of genetic variation in the population on the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of drugs. A general introduction to pharmacogenetics will cover basic genetics necessary to understand the course material. Selected drugs will be examined in depth showing how genetic variation alters an individual's pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic response. Based on the individual's genetic variation, dose adjustments or alternative therapies will be recommended. Registration is normally
