What is the study of how genetic variations affect drug response called?

  1. Pharmaceutical Pharmacogenomics

  2. Pharmacogenetics

  3. Genomics

  4. Personalized Medicine


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Pharmaceutical Pharmacogenomics is the study of how genetic variations affect drug response.

What is the goal of Pharmaceutical Pharmacogenomics?

  1. To identify genetic variations that affect drug response

  2. To develop new drugs that are more effective and have fewer side effects

  3. To personalize drug therapy based on a patient's genetic profile

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The goal of Pharmaceutical Pharmacogenomics is to identify genetic variations that affect drug response, to develop new drugs that are more effective and have fewer side effects, and to personalize drug therapy based on a patient's genetic profile.

What are some of the genetic variations that can affect drug response?

  1. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)

  2. Copy number variations (CNVs)

  3. Insertions and deletions (INDELS)

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Genetic variations that can affect drug response include single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), copy number variations (CNVs), and insertions and deletions (INDELS).

How can genetic variations affect drug response?

  1. By altering the way a drug is metabolized

  2. By altering the way a drug binds to its target

  3. By altering the way a drug is transported

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Genetic variations can affect drug response by altering the way a drug is metabolized, by altering the way a drug binds to its target, and by altering the way a drug is transported.

What is personalized medicine?

  1. A type of medicine that is tailored to a patient's individual genetic profile
