The Expanded Potential Role of Pharmacogenomics.
Abstract
The topic of phenoconversion was chosen for discussion in this editorial to add to the work presented by Cox and Marshall in this issue of The Senior Care Pharmacist. When considering the increased sensitivity that older patients have to medications, the inclusion of pharmacogenomics (PGx) information can be of great importance. Understanding the consequences of phenoconversion can further expand the role of PGx in patient care.
