This module helps in understanding of basic genetic/genomic concepts and nomenclature, describe advances in scientific knowledge and technology, which have led to innovations in personalized medicine and compare and contrast different PGx study designs.

This module describes how genetic variation influences pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics related to pharmacologic effect and drug response, teaches how to use the available online resources to haplotypes and predicted drug response phenotypes from genetic data. Elicits the evidence-based CPIC guidelines that synthesize information relevant to genomic/pharmacogenomic tests and selection of drug therapy.
