AB Pharmacogenetics  is  the  study  of  inherited  and  acquired  genetic  variations  in  metabolic  pathways  responsible  therapeutic  responses  and  adverse  reactions  to  pharmacotherapy.  Pharmacogenomics  encompasses  pharmacogenetics  and  investigates  the  genetic  basis  for  variations  in  drug  metabolism,  efficacy,  and  targeting  using  techniques  such  as  DNA  sequencing  and  mapping.  Ideally,  prospective  genotype  determinations  permit  individualized  therapies  that  are  effective  without  harmful  side  effects.
