The natural course of technical events to achieve effi cient goals in pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics include the following steps: (a) genetic testing of mutant genes and/or polymorphic variants of risk; (b) genomic screening, and understanding of transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic networks; (c) functional genomics studies and genotype-phenotype correlation analysis; and (d) pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics developments, addressing drug safety and effi cacy, respectively. ./cache/cord-015684-q10sx1dm.txt ./txt/cord-015684-q10sx1dm.txt
