In silico pharmacogenetics of warfarin metabolism
Article Abstract:
The murine haplotype-based computational method is used to identify a genetic factor regulating the metabolism of warfarin, an anticoagulant with a narrow therapeutic index and a large variation in individual dosing. The analysis has shown that genetic variants responsible for interindividual pharmacokinetic differences in drug metabolism can be detected by computational genetic analysis in mice.

Putting pharmacogenetics into practice
Article Abstract:
The results of the study assessing the progress in exploring pharmacogenetics challenges for those attempting to apply this knowledge are presented. It is suggested that the successful integration of pharmacogenetics into healthcare systems may rely on many independent factor like the attractiveness of pharmacogenetics as an investment area.
