The value of pharmacogenetic information at an individual level seems self-evident; demonstrating the value to the individual across a population appears to be much more difficult to demonstrate. Future studies should avoid single gene-drug pairs and a limited number of population-specific alleles that are insufficient to capture all relevant genetic variation within diverse populations, such as CYP2C9*2 and *3. Robust associations between cytochrome P450 (CYP) genotypes and treatment response require knowledge of drug exposure.
个体层面的药物遗传学信息的价值似乎不言而喻；然而，要在人群中证明其对个体的价值似乎要困难得多。未来的研究应避免使用单一基因-药物对和数量有限的特定于人群的等位基因，因为这些等位基因不足以捕捉不同人群中所有相关的遗传变异，例如 CYP2C9*2 和 *3。要了解药物暴露情况，才能确定细胞色素 P450（CYP）基因型与治疗反应之间的可靠关联。
