Genes are important modifiers of human response to drugs, hormones, and toxins. Patients and healthy individuals alike display significant differences in response and suffer adverse effects as a result of exposure to many therapeutic agents as well as occupational chemicals. This introductory text brings together laboratory methods and epidemiologic studies for defining the role of heredity in human drug response. This book will benefit graduate students in pharmacology, genetics, epidemiology, nursing, and public health, and will serve as a handy reference for pharmacists, epidemiologists, and physicians responsible for the delivery and administration of drugs.
