Genetic Factors in Drug Therapy is the first comprehensive, in-depth survey of the current research on the genetic basis for the wide variety in people's responses to drugs. Dr. Evans shows how understanding inherited differences in the rates at which people metabolize drugs and in their response to drugs in general leads to a clearer conception of--and can help to predict--adverse reactions to drugs, responses to the drug treatment of disease, and the occurrence of spontaneous disorders. New discoveries have allowed scientists to develop methods for direct genotyping of a person's DNA, permitting them to predict with greater accuracy a given individual's likely response to a course of drug treatment.
