| Sumario: | "In clinical practice, we have noticed patients who experience subtherapeutic efficacy in spite of receiving maximum daily dosages of their medications, as well as patients who experience severe adverse events from the standard recommended medication dosages. Many pharmacological treatments are complex for the myriad of conditions and diseases that a patient has, not including their genetic variability. As a result, this textbook is created for clinicians who are interested in practicing precision medicine by using the science of pharmacogenomics and making actionable, genotype-guided recommendations to optimize treatments for their patients. Furthermore, this textbook contains updated information about pharmacogenomics resources and the ethical and legal considerations to assist clinicians who are interested in implementing pharmacogenomics in practice settings. This textbook also includes the fundamentals of pharmacogenomics and therapeutics topics that have the most significant and evidence-based recommendations from scientific and clinical studies. The therapeutics chapters are laid out in a clear and concise format that includes the mechanism of drug-gene interaction, consequences of drug-gene interaction, and genotype-guided treatment recommendations to help clinicians make evidence-based decisions and recommendations. Additionally, the textbook contains tables, figures, and case scenarios in each chapter to stimulate critical thinking and reinforce the main concepts. Each chapter also has a clinical pearls section to highlight and summarize the key takeaways"--
