• Genetic factors are not the only influence on drug response. Environment and lifestyle are also important factors. • The application of pharmacogenomics requires the existence of rapid, reliable, and inexpensive genetic tests. • The clinical relevance of genetic variations must be proven. • Applications are currently limited to a specific number of treatments for a limited number of illnesses. • Health professionals, including doctors, nurses, genetic counselors, and pharmacists, will need to receive training before pharmacogenomics is integrated into medical practice.
