Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pharmacogenetics has emerged as a powerful tool for guiding drug therapy decisions and improving clinical outcomes through the personalization of treatment. In recent years, its application in routine clinical practice has gained increasing attention across diverse therapeutic areas, such as psychiatry, oncology, cardiology, and pain management. Despite its potential, several barriers still hinder its widespread implementation.
This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advances, practical applications, and future directions of pharmacogenetics in clinical settings. We welcome original research and reviews that highlight the integration of pharmacogenetic testing into clinical systems, real-world data supporting its utility, and novel approaches for interpreting and applying genetic information in patient care.
In this Special Issue, contributions may include but are not limited to clinical implementation studies, guideline development, clinical decisions, and clinical implications of pharmacogenetic testing.
We look forward to your valuable contributions.
