Introduction: . Idiosyncratic adverse drug reactions (IADRs) or drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) represent a major health problem because they are unpredictable and can be severe with potential life-long or even lethal consequences. Their pathophysiology is not clear but thought to be immune mediated supported by the significant statistical association of these reactions with specific alleles of the () gene.

Background: Many pharmacological treatments are considered effective in the treatment of panic disorder (PD), however, about 20 to 40% of the patients have treatment-resistant PD. Pharmacogenetics could explain why some patients are treatment-resistant.
Objective: Our objective was to gather preliminary data on the clinical usefulness of pharmacogenetic testing in this disorder.

Introduction: Hypertension is a chronic medical state and a major determining factor for cardiovascular and renal diseases. Both genetic and non-genetic factors contribute to hypertensive conditions among individuals. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is a major genetic target for the anti-hypertension approach.

Introduction: Genetic load influences the therapeutic response to conventional drugs in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Pharmacogenetics (PGx) is the best option to reduce drug-drug interactions and adverse drug reactions in patients undergoing polypharmacy regimens. However, there are important limitations that make it difficult to incorporate pharmacogenetics into routine clinical practice.
