The clinical impact of anti-hypertensive treatment drug-gene pairs in the asian population: a systematic review of publications in the past decade.

Pharmacogenetics play an important role in determining the anti-hypertensive effects of blood pressure-lowering medications and have the potential to improve future patient care. Current literature on the topic, however, has a heavy focus on Caucasians and may not be generalisable to the Asian populations. Therefore, we have conducted this systematic review to summarise and evaluate the literature of the past decade.
