Patients differ in their response to drugs. Part of this variability may reflect genetically-determined characteristics of target genes or metabolizing enzymes. A knowledge of an individual's genetic makeup could allow drug therapy to be targeted at those most likely to benefit.
患者对药物的反应存在差异。这种变异性的部分原因可能反映了靶基因或代谢酶的基因决定特征。了解个体的基因构成可以使药物治疗针对最有可能受益的人群。
