In oncology, ''pharmacogenetics'' historically refers to [[germline mutation]]s (e.g., [[single-nucleotide polymorphism]]s affecting genes coding for liver enzymes responsible for drug deposition and [[pharmacokinetics]]), whereas ''pharmacogenomics'' refers to [[mutation|somatic mutations]] in [[cancer|tumoral]] DNA leading to alteration in drug response (e.g., [[KRAS]] mutations in patients treated with [[epidermal growth factor receptor|anti-Her1]] [[biologic medical product|biologics]]).<ref name="pmid10866212">{{cite journal | author = Roses AD | title = Pharmacogenetics and the practice of medicine | journal = Nature | volume = 405 | issue = 6788 | pages = 857–65 | year = 2000 | month = June | pmid = 10866212 | doi = 10.1038/35015728 }}</ref>
The terms [[pharmacogenomics]] and pharmacogenetics tend to be used interchangeably, and a precise, consensus definition of either remains elusive. Pharmacogenetics is generally regarded as the study or [[genetic testing|clinical testing]] of [[genetic variation]] that gives rise to differing responses to [[drug]]s, while pharmacogenomics is the broader application of genomic technologies to new [[drug discovery]] and further characterization of older drugs.
== Predicting drug-drug interactions ==
Much of current clinical interest is at the level of pharmacogenetics, involving variation in genes involved in, [[drug metabolism]] with a particular emphasis on improving drug safety. The wider use of pharmacogenetic testing is viewed by many as an outstanding opportunity to improve prescribing safety and efficacy. Driving this trend are the 106,000 deaths and 2.2 Million serious events caused by adverse drug reactions in the US each year.<ref name="pmid9555760">{{cite journal | author = Lazarou J, Pomeranz BH, Corey PN | title = Incidence of adverse drug reactions in hospitalized patients: a meta-analysis of prospective studies | journal = JAMA | volume = 279 | issue = 15 | pages = 1200–5 | year = 1998 | month = April | pmid = 9555760 | doi = 10.1001/jama.279.15.1200 }}</ref> As such ADRs are responsible for 5-7% of hospital admissions in the US and Europe, lead to the withdrawal of 4% of new medicines and cost society an amount equal to the costs of drug treatment.<ref name="Ingelman-Sundberg_2005">{{cite journal | author = Ingelman-Sundberg M, Rodriguez-Antona C | title = Pharmacogenetics of drug-metabolizing enzymes: implications for a safer and more effective drug therapy | journal = Philos.

Comparisons of the list of drugs most commonly implicated in adverse drug reactions with the list of metabolizing enzymes with known [[Polymorphism (biology)|polymorphism]]s found that drugs commonly involved in adverse drug reactions were also those that were metabolized by enzymes with known polymorphisms (see Phillips, 2001).
Scientists and doctors are using this new technology for a variety of things, one being improving the efficacy of drugs. ''In psychology, we can predict quite accurately which anti-depressant a patient will best respond to by simply looking into their genetic code''{{citation needed|date=September 2013}}. This is a huge step from our previous way of adjusting and experimenting with different medications to get the best response. Antidepressants also have a large percentage of unresponsive patients and poor prediction rate of ADRs ([[adverse drug reactions]]). In depressed patients, 30% are not helped by [[antidepressant]]s. In psychopharmacological therapy, a patient must be on a drug for 2 weeks before the effects can be fully examined and evaluated. For a patient in that 30%, this could mean months of trying medications to find an antidote to their pain. Any assistance in predicting a patient’s drug reaction to psychopharmacological therapy should be taken advantage of. Pharmacogenetics is a very useful and important tool in predicting which drugs will be effective in various patients.<ref name="pmid20205659">{{cite journal | author = Kirchheiner J, Seeringer A, Viviani R | title = Pharmacogenetics in psychiatry--a useful clinical tool or wishful thinking for the future? | journal = Curr.

Another newfound use of Pharmacogenetics involves the use of Vitamin E. The Technion Israel Institute of Technology observed that vitamin E can be used to in certain genotypes to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with [[Diabetes mellitus|diabetes]], but in the same patients with another genotype, vitamin E can raise the risk of cardiovascular disease. A study was carried out, showing vitamin E is able to increase the function of [[High-density lipoprotein|HDL]] in those with the genotype haptoglobin 2-2 who suffer from diabetes. HDL is a lipoprotein that removes cholesterol from the blood and is associated with a reduced risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease. However, if you have the misfortune to possess the genotype haptoglobin 2-1, the study shows that this same treatment can drastically decrease your HDL function and cause cardiovascular disease.<ref name="pmid21722898">{{cite journal | author = Farbstein D, Blum S, Pollak M, Asaf R, Viener HL, Lache O, Asleh R, Miller-Lotan R, Barkay I, Star M, Schwartz A, Kalet-Littman S, Ozeri D, Vaya J, Tavori H, Vardi M, Laor A, Bucher SE, Anbinder Y, Moskovich D, Abbas N, Perry N, Levy Y, Levy AP | title = Vitamin E therapy results in a reduction in HDL function in individuals with diabetes and the haptoglobin 2-1 genotype | journal = Atherosclerosis | volume = 219 | issue = 1 | pages = 240–4 | year = 2011 | month = November | pmid = 21722898 | doi = 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2011.06.005 }}</ref>
Pharmacogenetics is a rising concern in clinical oncology, because the therapeutic window of most anticancer drugs is narrow and patients with impaired ability to detoxify drugs will undergo life-threatenting toxicities. In particular, genetic deregulations affecting genes coding for [[Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase|DPD]], [[UGT1A1]], [[TPMT]], [[cytidine deaminase|CDA]] and Cyp2D6 are now considered as critical issues for patients treated with 5-FU/capecitabine, irinotecan, mercaptopurine/azathioprine, gemcitabine/capecitabine/AraC and tamoxifen, respectively. The decision to use pharmacogenetic techniques is influenced by the relative costs of [[genotyping]] technologies and the cost of providing a treatment to a patient with an incompatible genotype. When available, phenotype-based approaches proved their usefulness while being cost-effective.<ref name="pmid20204365">{{cite journal | author = Yang CG, Ciccolini J, Blesius A, Dahan L, Bagarry-Liegey D, Brunet C, Varoquaux A, Frances N, Marouani H, Giovanni A, Ferri-Dessens RM, Chefrour M, Favre R, Duffaud F, Seitz JF, Zanaret M, Lacarelle B, Mercier C | title = DPD-based adaptive dosing of 5-FU in patients with head and neck cancer: impact on treatment efficacy and toxicity | journal = Cancer Chemother.

In the search for informative correlates of psychotropic drug response, pharmacogenetics has several advantages:<ref>{{cite journal | author = Malhotra AK | year = 2010 | title = The state of pharmacogenetics | url = http://www.psychiatrictimes.com/neuropsychiatry/content/article/10168/1550787 | journal = Psychiatr Times | volume = 27 | issue = 4| pages = 38–41, 62 }}</ref>
*The genotype of an individual is essentially invariable and remains unaffected by the treatment itself.
*Molecular biology techniques provide an accurate assessment of the genotype of an individual.
*There has been a dramatic increase in the amount of genomic information that is available. This information provides the necessary data for comprehensive studies of individual genes and broad investigation of genome-wide variation.
*The ease of accessibility to genotype information through peripheral blood or saliva sampling and advances in molecular techniques has increased the feasibility of DNA collection and genotyping in large-scale clinical trials.
==History==
The first observations of genetic variation in drug response date from the 1950s, involving the muscle relaxant [[suxamethonium chloride]], and drugs metabolized by [[N-acetyltransferase]]. One in 3500 [[Caucasian race|Caucasians]] has less efficient variant of the [[enzyme]] ([[butyrylcholinesterase]]) that [[metabolize]]s suxamethonium chloride.<ref name="pmid16968950">{{cite journal | author = Gardiner SJ, Begg EJ | title = Pharmacogenetics, drug-metabolizing enzymes, and clinical practice | journal = Pharmacol. Rev. | volume = 58 | issue = 3 | pages = 521–90 | year = 2006 | month = September | pmid = 16968950 | doi = 10.1124/pr.58.3.6 | url = | issn = }}</ref> As a consequence, the drug’s effect is prolonged, with slower recovery from surgical paralysis. Variation in the [[N-acetyltransferase]] gene divides people into "slow acetylators" and "fast acetylators", with very different [[Mean lifetime|half-lives]] and [[blood concentration]]s of such important drugs as [[isoniazid]] (antituberculosis) and [[procainamide]] (antiarrhythmic). As part of the inborn system for clearing the body of [[xenobiotic]]s, the [[cytochrome P450 oxidase]]s (CYPs) are heavily involved in [[drug metabolism]], and genetic variations in CYPs affect large populations. One member of the CYP superfamily, [[CYP2D6]], now has over 75 known allelic variations, some of which lead to no activity, and some to enhanced activity. An estimated 29% of people in parts of [[East Africa]] may have multiple copies of the gene, and will therefore not be adequately treated with standard doses of drugs such as the painkiller [[codeine]] (which is activated by the enzyme). The first study using Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) linked age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with a SNP located on chromosome 1 that increased one’s risk of AMD. AMD is the most common cause of blindness, affecting more than seven million Americans. Until this study in 2005, we only knew about the inflammation of the retinal tissue causing AMD, not the genes responsible.<ref name="isbn0-465-02550-1"/>
==Thiopurines and TPMT (thiopurine methyl transferase)==
One of the earliest tests for a genetic variation resulting in a clinically important consequence was on the enzyme [[thiopurine methyltransferase]] (TPMT). TPMT metabolizes [[6-mercaptopurine]] and [[azathioprine]], two [[thiopurine]] drugs used in a range of indications, from childhood [[leukemia]] to [[autoimmune diseases]]. In people with a deficiency in TPMT activity, thiopurine metabolism must proceed by other pathways, one of which leads to the active thiopurine [[metabolite]] that is toxic to the bone marrow at high concentrations.
Deficiency of TPMT affects a small proportion of people, though seriously. One in 300 people have two variant [[alleles]] and lack TPMT activity; these people need only 6-10% of the standard dose of the drug, and, if treated with the full dose, are at risk of severe [[bone marrow suppression]]. For them, [[genotype]] predicts clinical outcome, a prerequisite for an effective pharmacogenetic test. In 85-90% of affected people, this deficiency results from one of three common variant alleles.<ref>{{cite web|last=Genetic Science Learning Center|title=Your Doctor's New Genetic Tools.|url=http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/health/pharma/intro/|publisher=Lern.Genetics|accessdate=15 April 2012}}</ref>
Around 10% of people are [[heterozygous]] - they carry one variant allele - and produce a reduced quantity of functional enzyme. Overall, they are at greater risk of adverse effects, although as individuals their [[genotype]] is not necessarily predictive of their clinical outcome, which makes the interpretation of a clinical test difficult. Recent research suggests that patients who are heterozygous may have a better response to treatment, which raises whether people who have two [[wild-type]] alleles could tolerate a higher therapeutic dose.<ref>{{cite web|title=Pharmacogenomics: Personalizing Medicine|url=http://discoverysedge.mayo.edu/pharmacogenomics/|work=Discovery's Edge|publisher=Mayo Clinic|accessdate=April 15, 2012}}</ref>
The US [[Food and Drug Administration]] (FDA) have recently deliberated the inclusion of a recommendation for testing for TPMT deficiency to the prescribing information for [[6-mercaptopurine]] and [[azathioprine]]. Hitherto the information has carried the warning that inherited deficiency of the enzyme could increase the risk of severe bone marrow suppression. Now it will carry the recommendation that people who develop bone marrow suppression while receiving 6-mercaptopurine or azathioprine be tested for TPMT deficiency.
==Hepatitis C==
A recent breakthrough in pharmacogenetics identified a polymorphism near a human interferon gene that is predictive of the effectiveness of an artificial interferon treatment for Hepatitis C. For genotype 1 hepatitis C treated with [[Pegylated interferon-alpha-2a]] or [[Pegylated interferon-alpha-2b]] (brand names Pegasys or PEG-Intron) combined with [[ribavirin]], it has been shown that genetic polymorphisms near the human IL28B gene, encoding interferon lambda 3, are associated with significant differences in response to the treatment. This finding, originally reported in Nature,<ref name="pmid19684573">{{cite journal | author = Ge D, Fellay J, Thompson AJ, Simon JS, Shianna KV, Urban TJ, Heinzen EL, Qiu P, Bertelsen AH, Muir AJ, Sulkowski M, McHutchison JG, Goldstein DB | title = Genetic variation in IL28B predicts hepatitis C treatment-induced viral clearance | journal = Nature | volume = 461 | issue = 7262 | pages = 399–401 | year = 2009 | month = September | pmid = 19684573 | doi = 10.1038/nature08309 | url = | issn = }}</ref> showed that genotype 1 hepatitis C patients carrying certain genetic variant alleles near the IL28B gene are more possibly to achieve sustained virological response after the treatment than others.

== Integrating pharmacogenetics into the health care system ==
Despite the many successes, most drugs are not tested using GWAS. However, it is estimated that over 25% of common medication have some type of genetic information that could be used in the medical field.<ref name="pmid18657016">{{cite journal | author = Frueh FW, Amur S, Mummaneni P, Epstein RS, Aubert RE, DeLuca TM, Verbrugge RR, Burckart GJ, Lesko LJ | title = Pharmacogenomic biomarker information in drug labels approved by the United States food and drug administration: prevalence of related drug use | journal = Pharmacotherapy | volume = 28 | issue = 8 | pages = 992–8 | year = 2008 | month = August | pmid = 18657016 | doi = 10.1592/phco.28.8.992 }}</ref> If the use of [[personalized medicine]] is widely adopted and used, it will make medical trials more efficient. This will lower the costs that come about due to adverse drug side effects and prescription of drugs that have been proven ineffective in certain genotypes. It is very costly when a clinical trial is put to a stop by licensing authorities because of the small population who experiences adverse drug reactions. With the new push for pharmacogenetics, it is possible to develop and license a drug specifically intended for those who are the small population genetically at risk for adverse side effects.

==Ethics==
Pharmacogenetics has become a controversial issue in the area of bioethics. It's a new topic to the public and as well as to the medical field. This new technique will have a huge impact in society, on how both common and rare diseases would be treated in the future. As a new topic in the medical field the ethics behind it are still not clear. However, ethical issues are already been address as well as possible solutions.
There are three main ethical issues that have risen from pharmacogenetics. First, would there be a type equity at both drug development and the accessibility to tests.<ref name=Breckenridge>{{cite journal | author = Breckenridge A, Lindpaintner K, Lipton P, McLeod H, Rothstein M, Wallace H | title = Pharmacogenetics: ethical problems and solutions | journal = Nat. Rev. Genet. | volume = 5 | issue = 9 | pages = 676–80 | year = 2004 | month = September | pmid = 15372090 | doi = 10.1038/nrg1431 | url = }}</ref> The concern of accessibility to the test is whether is going to be available directly to patients via internet or over the counter. Second the confidentiality with concern of storage and usage of genetics information.<ref name=Corrigan>{{cite journal | author = Corrigan OP | title = Pharmacogenetics, ethical issues: review of the Nuffield Council on Bioethics Report | journal = J. Med. Ethics | volume = 31 | issue = 3 | pages = 144–8 | year = 2005 | month = March | pmid = 15738433 | pmc = 1734105 | doi = 10.1136/jme.2004.007229 }}</ref>
Thirdly, would patients have the control of whether they want to be tested.
One concern that has risen is the ethical decision health providers have to take with respect to educating the patient of the risk and benefits of medicine developed by this new technology. Pharmacogenetics is the new process that increases benefits of medicine and decreases the risk. However clinicians have been unsuccessfully in educated the patient with the concept of benefits over risk. The Nuffield Council reported that patients and health professionals have adequate information about pharmacogenetics tests and medicine.<ref name=Corrigan />
Health care providers will also encounter an ethical decision in deciding to tell their patients that only certain individuals will benefit from the new medicine due to their genetic make-up.<ref name=Breckenridge /> Another ethical concern is that patients that have not taken the test be able to have access to this type of medicines. If access is given by the doctor the medicine could not only harm the patient but also have poorly benefits to the patients’ health. The ethical issues behind pharmacogenetics tests as well as medicine is still a concern and policies will be implemented in the future.

Driving this trend are the 106,000 deaths and 2.2 Million serious events caused by adverse drug reactions in the US each year.<ref name="pmid9555760">{{cite journal | author = Lazarou J, Pomeranz BH, Corey PN | title = Incidence of adverse drug reactions in hospitalized patients: a meta-analysis of prospective studies | journal = JAMA | volume = 279 | issue = 15 | pages = 1200–5 | year = 1998 | month = April | pmid = 9555760 | doi = 10.1001/jama.279.15.1200 }}</ref> As such ADRs are responsible for 5-7% of hospital admissions in the US and Europe, lead to the withdrawal of 4% of new medicines and cost society an amount equal to the costs of drug treatment.<ref name="Ingelman-Sundberg_2005">{{cite journal | author = Ingelman-Sundberg M, Rodriguez-Antona C | title = Pharmacogenetics of drug-metabolizing enzymes: implications for a safer and more effective drug therapy | journal = Philos.

Comparisons of the list of drugs most commonly implicated in adverse drug reactions with the list of metabolizing enzymes with known [[Polymorphism (biology)|polymorphism]]s found that drugs commonly involved in adverse drug reactions were also those that were metabolized by enzymes with known polymorphisms (see Phillips, 2001).
Scientists and doctors are using this new technology for a variety of things, one being improving the efficacy of drugs. ''In psychology, we can predict quite accurately which anti-depressant a patient will best respond to by simply looking into their genetic code''{{citation needed|date=September 2013}}. This is a huge step from our previous way of adjusting and experimenting with different medications to get the best response. Antidepressants also have a large percentage of unresponsive patients and poor prediction rate of ADRs ([[adverse drug reactions]]). In depressed patients, 30% are not helped by [[antidepressant]]s. In psychopharmacological therapy, a patient must be on a drug for 2 weeks before the effects can be fully examined and evaluated. For a patient in that 30%, this could mean months of trying medications to find an antidote to their pain. Any assistance in predicting a patient’s drug reaction to psychopharmacological therapy should be taken advantage of. Pharmacogenetics is a very useful and important tool in predicting which drugs will be effective in various patients.<ref name="pmid20205659">{{cite journal | author = Kirchheiner J, Seeringer A, Viviani R | title = Pharmacogenetics in psychiatry--a useful clinical tool or wishful thinking for the future? | journal = Curr.

Another newfound use of Pharmacogenetics involves the use of Vitamin E. The Technion Israel Institute of Technology observed that vitamin E can be used to in certain genotypes to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with [[Diabetes mellitus|diabetes]], but in the same patients with another genotype, vitamin E can raise the risk of cardiovascular disease. A study was carried out, showing vitamin E is able to increase the function of [[High-density lipoprotein|HDL]] in those with the genotype haptoglobin 2-2 who suffer from diabetes. HDL is a lipoprotein that removes cholesterol from the blood and is associated with a reduced risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease. However, if you have the misfortune to possess the genotype haptoglobin 2-1, the study shows that this same treatment can drastically decrease your HDL function and cause cardiovascular disease.<ref name="pmid21722898">{{cite journal | author = Farbstein D, Blum S, Pollak M, Asaf R, Viener HL, Lache O, Asleh R, Miller-Lotan R, Barkay I, Star M, Schwartz A, Kalet-Littman S, Ozeri D, Vaya J, Tavori H, Vardi M, Laor A, Bucher SE, Anbinder Y, Moskovich D, Abbas N, Perry N, Levy Y, Levy AP | title = Vitamin E therapy results in a reduction in HDL function in individuals with diabetes and the haptoglobin 2-1 genotype | journal = Atherosclerosis | volume = 219 | issue = 1 | pages = 240–4 | year = 2011 | month = November | pmid = 21722898 | doi = 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2011.06.005 }}</ref>
Pharmacogenetics is a rising concern in clinical oncology, because the therapeutic window of most anticancer drugs is narrow and patients with impaired ability to detoxify drugs will undergo life-threatenting toxicities. In particular, genetic deregulations affecting genes coding for [[Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase|DPD]], [[UGT1A1]], [[TPMT]], [[cytidine deaminase|CDA]] and Cyp2D6 are now considered as critical issues for patients treated with 5-FU/capecitabine, irinotecan, mercaptopurine/azathioprine, gemcitabine/capecitabine/AraC and tamoxifen, respectively. The decision to use pharmacogenetic techniques is influenced by the relative costs of [[genotyping]] technologies and the cost of providing a treatment to a patient with an incompatible genotype. When available, phenotype-based approaches proved their usefulness while being cost-effective.<ref name="pmid20204365">{{cite journal | author = Yang CG, Ciccolini J, Blesius A, Dahan L, Bagarry-Liegey D, Brunet C, Varoquaux A, Frances N, Marouani H, Giovanni A, Ferri-Dessens RM, Chefrour M, Favre R, Duffaud F, Seitz JF, Zanaret M, Lacarelle B, Mercier C | title = DPD-based adaptive dosing of 5-FU in patients with head and neck cancer: impact on treatment efficacy and toxicity | journal = Cancer Chemother.

*The genotype of an individual is essentially invariable and remains unaffected by the treatment itself.
*Molecular biology techniques provide an accurate assessment of the genotype of an individual.
*There has been a dramatic increase in the amount of genomic information that is available. This information provides the necessary data for comprehensive studies of individual genes and broad investigation of genome-wide variation.
*The ease of accessibility to genotype information through peripheral blood or saliva sampling and advances in molecular techniques has increased the feasibility of DNA collection and genotyping in large-scale clinical trials.
==History==
The first observations of genetic variation in drug response date from the 1950s, involving the muscle relaxant [[suxamethonium chloride]], and drugs metabolized by [[N-acetyltransferase]]. One in 3500 [[Caucasian race|Caucasians]] has less efficient variant of the [[enzyme]] ([[butyrylcholinesterase]]) that [[metabolize]]s suxamethonium chloride.<ref name="pmid16968950">{{cite journal | author = Gardiner SJ, Begg EJ | title = Pharmacogenetics, drug-metabolizing enzymes, and clinical practice | journal = Pharmacol. Rev. | volume = 58 | issue = 3 | pages = 521–90 | year = 2006 | month = September | pmid = 16968950 | doi = 10.1124/pr.58.3.6 | url = | issn = }}</ref> As a consequence, the drug’s effect is prolonged, with slower recovery from surgical paralysis. Variation in the [[N-acetyltransferase]] gene divides people into "slow acetylators" and "fast acetylators", with very different [[Mean lifetime|half-lives]] and [[blood concentration]]s of such important drugs as [[isoniazid]] (antituberculosis) and [[procainamide]] (antiarrhythmic). As part of the inborn system for clearing the body of [[xenobiotic]]s, the [[cytochrome P450 oxidase]]s (CYPs) are heavily involved in [[drug metabolism]], and genetic variations in CYPs affect large populations. One member of the CYP superfamily, [[CYP2D6]], now has over 75 known allelic variations, some of which lead to no activity, and some to enhanced activity. An estimated 29% of people in parts of [[East Africa]] may have multiple copies of the gene, and will therefore not be adequately treated with standard doses of drugs such as the painkiller [[codeine]] (which is activated by the enzyme). The first study using Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) linked age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with a SNP located on chromosome 1 that increased one’s risk of AMD. AMD is the most common cause of blindness, affecting more than seven million Americans. Until this study in 2005, we only knew about the inflammation of the retinal tissue causing AMD, not the genes responsible.<ref name="isbn0-465-02550-1"/>
==Thiopurines and TPMT (thiopurine methyl transferase)==
One of the earliest tests for a genetic variation resulting in a clinically important consequence was on the enzyme [[thiopurine methyltransferase]] (TPMT). TPMT metabolizes [[6-mercaptopurine]] and [[azathioprine]], two [[thiopurine]] drugs used in a range of indications, from childhood [[leukemia]] to [[autoimmune diseases]]. In people with a deficiency in TPMT activity, thiopurine metabolism must proceed by other pathways, one of which leads to the active thiopurine [[metabolite]] that is toxic to the bone marrow at high concentrations.
Deficiency of TPMT affects a small proportion of people, though seriously. One in 300 people have two variant [[alleles]] and lack TPMT activity; these people need only 6-10% of the standard dose of the drug, and, if treated with the full dose, are at risk of severe [[bone marrow suppression]]. For them, [[genotype]] predicts clinical outcome, a prerequisite for an effective pharmacogenetic test. In 85-90% of affected people, this deficiency results from one of three common variant alleles.<ref>{{cite web|last=Genetic Science Learning Center|title=Your Doctor's New Genetic Tools.|url=http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/health/pharma/intro/|publisher=Lern.Genetics|accessdate=15 April 2012}}</ref>
Around 10% of people are [[heterozygous]] - they carry one variant allele - and produce a reduced quantity of functional enzyme. Overall, they are at greater risk of adverse effects, although as individuals their [[genotype]] is not necessarily predictive of their clinical outcome, which makes the interpretation of a clinical test difficult. Recent research suggests that patients who are heterozygous may have a better response to treatment, which raises whether people who have two [[wild-type]] alleles could tolerate a higher therapeutic dose.<ref>{{cite web|title=Pharmacogenomics: Personalizing Medicine|url=http://discoverysedge.mayo.edu/pharmacogenomics/|work=Discovery's Edge|publisher=Mayo Clinic|accessdate=April 15, 2012}}</ref>
The US [[Food and Drug Administration]] (FDA) have recently deliberated the inclusion of a recommendation for testing for TPMT deficiency to the prescribing information for [[6-mercaptopurine]] and [[azathioprine]]. Hitherto the information has carried the warning that inherited deficiency of the enzyme could increase the risk of severe bone marrow suppression. Now it will carry the recommendation that people who develop bone marrow suppression while receiving 6-mercaptopurine or azathioprine be tested for TPMT deficiency.
==Hepatitis C==
A recent breakthrough in pharmacogenetics identified a polymorphism near a human interferon gene that is predictive of the effectiveness of an artificial interferon treatment for Hepatitis C. For genotype 1 hepatitis C treated with [[Pegylated interferon-alpha-2a]] or [[Pegylated interferon-alpha-2b]] (brand names Pegasys or PEG-Intron) combined with [[ribavirin]], it has been shown that genetic polymorphisms near the human IL28B gene, encoding interferon lambda 3, are associated with significant differences in response to the treatment. This finding, originally reported in Nature,<ref name="pmid19684573">{{cite journal | author = Ge D, Fellay J, Thompson AJ, Simon JS, Shianna KV, Urban TJ, Heinzen EL, Qiu P, Bertelsen AH, Muir AJ, Sulkowski M, McHutchison JG, Goldstein DB | title = Genetic variation in IL28B predicts hepatitis C treatment-induced viral clearance | journal = Nature | volume = 461 | issue = 7262 | pages = 399–401 | year = 2009 | month = September | pmid = 19684573 | doi = 10.1038/nature08309 | url = | issn = }}</ref> showed that genotype 1 hepatitis C patients carrying certain genetic variant alleles near the IL28B gene are more possibly to achieve sustained virological response after the treatment than others.

== Integrating pharmacogenetics into the health care system ==
Despite the many successes, most drugs are not tested using GWAS. However, it is estimated that over 25% of common medication have some type of genetic information that could be used in the medical field.<ref name="pmid18657016">{{cite journal | author = Frueh FW, Amur S, Mummaneni P, Epstein RS, Aubert RE, DeLuca TM, Verbrugge RR, Burckart GJ, Lesko LJ | title = Pharmacogenomic biomarker information in drug labels approved by the United States food and drug administration: prevalence of related drug use | journal = Pharmacotherapy | volume = 28 | issue = 8 | pages = 992–8 | year = 2008 | month = August | pmid = 18657016 | doi = 10.1592/phco.28.8.992 }}</ref> If the use of [[personalized medicine]] is widely adopted and used, it will make medical trials more efficient. This will lower the costs that come about due to adverse drug side effects and prescription of drugs that have been proven ineffective in certain genotypes. It is very costly when a clinical trial is put to a stop by licensing authorities because of the small population who experiences adverse drug reactions. With the new push for pharmacogenetics, it is possible to develop and license a drug specifically intended for those who are the small population genetically at risk for adverse side effects.

==Ethics==
Pharmacogenetics has become a controversial issue in the area of bioethics. It's a new topic to the public and as well as to the medical field. This new technique will have a huge impact in society, on how both common and rare diseases would be treated in the future. As a new topic in the medical field the ethics behind it are still not clear. However, ethical issues are already been address as well as possible solutions.
There are three main ethical issues that have risen from pharmacogenetics. First, would there be a type equity at both drug development and the accessibility to tests.<ref name=Breckenridge>{{cite journal | author = Breckenridge A, Lindpaintner K, Lipton P, McLeod H, Rothstein M, Wallace H | title = Pharmacogenetics: ethical problems and solutions | journal = Nat. Rev. Genet. | volume = 5 | issue = 9 | pages = 676–80 | year = 2004 | month = September | pmid = 15372090 | doi = 10.1038/nrg1431 | url = }}</ref> The concern of accessibility to the test is whether is going to be available directly to patients via internet or over the counter. Second the confidentiality with concern of storage and usage of genetics information.<ref name=Corrigan>{{cite journal | author = Corrigan OP | title = Pharmacogenetics, ethical issues: review of the Nuffield Council on Bioethics Report | journal = J.

Thirdly, would patients have the control of whether they want to be tested.
One concern that has risen is the ethical decision health providers have to take with respect to educating the patient of the risk and benefits of medicine developed by this new technology. Pharmacogenetics is the new process that increases benefits of medicine and decreases the risk. However clinicians have been unsuccessfully in educated the patient with the concept of benefits over risk. The Nuffield Council reported that patients and health professionals have adequate information about pharmacogenetics tests and medicine.<ref name=Corrigan />
Health care providers will also encounter an ethical decision in deciding to tell their patients that only certain individuals will benefit from the new medicine due to their genetic make-up.<ref name=Breckenridge /> Another ethical concern is that patients that have not taken the test be able to have access to this type of medicines. If access is given by the doctor the medicine could not only harm the patient but also have poorly benefits to the patients’ health. The ethical issues behind pharmacogenetics tests as well as medicine is still a concern and policies will be implemented in the future. when I got done with your mother my dick hurt.
