Genetic Contributions and Personalized Medicine

Abstract

Chronic diseases can be attributed to lifestyle choices, environmental exposures, and genetics. Genomic alterations can increase the risk of developing a chronic condition, and genetic susceptibility can be exacerbated by lifestyle or environment. Numerous medications are available to treat chronic disorders, and even when adhering to best practices, multiple treatment strategies may exist. Polymorphisms in genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes, transporters, and targets can influence drug response; therefore gene-based drug-prescribing strategies may identify medications that are more likely to result in a good response. Pharmacogenomics is the study of how variations in genes encoding pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic proteins affect pharmacotherapy outcomes. There is a growing body of evidence demonstrating a correlation between genetic polymorphisms and aberrant efficacy, adverse reactions, and dosage requirements. For certain gene-drug interactions, the evidence is sufficiently strong to warrant clinical implementation. Models are being developed exploring how to integrate genomic medicine into routine clinical practice. Methods are needed to discretely curate genomic alterations in electronic medical records, with dissemination of clinical decision support to remind clinicians of important results. Future studies will need to investigate the impact and cost-effectiveness of implementing personalized medicine into patient care.
