Pharmacogenetics

Non flash
  • Pharmacogenetics is the study of genetic variation within individuals that gives rise to differing response to drugs.
  • In the area of pharmacogenetics diagnostics, Nanosphere is using its patented gold nanoparticle probe technology to develop leading-edge, clinical tests that enable rapid, multitarget detection of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) and similar DNA sequence variations that alter an individual’s metabolism of specific drugs.
