Clinical recommendations in pharmacogenetics
Did you know that nowadays, there are many drugs for which a genetic study is recommended and even mandatory? In recent years, thanks to the development of genomic techniques for massive sequencing and analysis with new bioinformatics tools, many biomarkers have been identified that are associated with how [...]
What is pharmacogenetics and what are its applications
Genomic medicine is the discipline that studies the changes in our DNA and its association with the susceptibility to developing diseases, infections, congenital malformations, etc. Within this broad field of genomic medicine disciplines, pharmacogenetics (PGx) is the branch in charge of studying changes in our DNA and associating them with […]
How common are rare diseases?
