Abstract
The International Congress of Pharmacology was held in Canada for the first time and one of the symposia was entitled “Interethnic Differences in Drug Metabolism and Pharmacogenetics”. The purpose of the symposium was to discuss genetic variation of drug metabolizing enzymes in different ethnic groups. Five speakers from Sweden, Japan, USA, Canada and U.K. participated in this symposium and discussed the pharmacogenetics of drug metabolism ranging from a molecular basis to some clinical implications.
