The advances in technology has shifted healthcare from a "one size fits all" model to focus on personalized therapy. Understanding the relationship of genome variations and its effect on drug response has led to individualized drug selection, maximizing drug efficacy and improving toxicity profile. The developments in pharmacogenomics has led to the discovery of predictive and prognostic biomarkers, and has transformed cancer research leading to the creation of pharmacogenomics databases. While challenges associated with the implementation of pharmacogenomics based medicine exist, integrating data amongst collaborative networks will be crucial for researchers to identify all the functional elements of the human genome sequence. Future advances in the area of pharmacogenomics research will eventually lead to the identification of the right therapeutic drug for the right patient.

Clopidogrel, an anti-platelet drug, is used to prevent thrombosis after percutaneous coronary intervention. Clopidogrel resistance results in recurring ischemic events, with African Americans (AA) suffering disproportionately. The aim of this study was to discover novel biomarkers of clopidogrel resistance in African Americans using genome and transcriptome data.

Pharmacogenetic studies involving Carboxylesterase 1 (CES1), Latrophilin-3 (LPHN3), and Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) revealed individual differences regarding therapeutic response in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) under methylphenidate (MPH) treatment. This study aimed to evaluate MPH's association with the adverse effect status in children and its relationship with CES1, LPHN3, and COMT in the Turkish population. The study included 102 children and adolescents with ADHD, who were categorized as responders, or the adverse effect group based on their treatment response.

The modern-day indigenous Arabians are believed to be the descendants who remained from the ancient split of the migrants into Eurasia. Here, we investigated how the population history and cultural practices such as endogamy have shaped the genetic variation of the Saudi Arabians.
