摘要
Pharmacogenomics can personalize drug prescribing to individual patients, increasing drug efficacy and reducing incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Despite a substantial evidence base and published pharmacogenomic guidelines, a lack of evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) is frequently cited as a reason to delay implementation of pharmacogenomics in the clinic. We believe that this argument is misguided as RCTs are unnecessary for implementation and can obscure important pharmacogenomic factors which may affect drug response.
