Recent genomic studies have revealed the critical impact of genetic diversity within small population groups in determining the way individuals respond to drugs. One of the biggest challenges is to accurately predict the effect of single nucleotide variants and to get the relevant information that allows for a better functional interpretation of genetic data. Different conformational scenarios upon the changing in amino acid sequences of pharmacologically important proteins might impact their stability and plasticity, which in turn might alter the interaction with the drug.
