How well established is the science of Pharmacogenetics?
The science of pharmacogenetics is both well established and rapidly changing. There is no doubt that specific genes influence how individuals react to medications. The genes have in most cases been identified, and variations in these genes have been tracked. The effect these variations have on specific medications is, in some cases, less well-established. For some drugs the effects are well documented and indicate specific changes in dosages. For others, therapeutic changes are not as well documented.
