Revolutionizing Primary Care: The Role of Pharmacogenomics and AI in Personalized Medicine | MedCity News - UGenome Thought Leadership
April 26, 2024. Pharmacogenomics (PGx), the study of how genetic profiles impact an individual’s responses to medication, has already begun to help healthcare providers (HCPs) optimize care through its capacity to preemptively enhance drug efficacy, minimize adverse side effects, and improve patient experiences. This rapidly growing field marries bioinformatics and pharmacology and represents a transformative new era of precision medicine and highly personalized treatments, one that serves patients by supporting clinicians to better predict therapeutic responses and more accurately optimize drug dosages.
Pharmacogenomics Offers New Frontier For Precision Medicine | MedCity News - UGenome Thought Leadership
November 10, 2023. Imagine a set of twins who have a family history of migraines. They both go to the pharmacy and pick up the migraine medication prescribed by the doctor. The prescription works for one twin, but the second still has a migraine. A variety of factors drive such a phenomenon: how quickly the person metabolizes the drug, if the twin has a sensitivity to that medication, and other factors.
