Each of the 29 chapters provides content and objective related questions with the answers provided. Two appendices are included. KEY FEATURES:?Connects the clinical application with basic foundational principles of pharmacogenomics?Includes pharmacogenomics case studies across therapeutic areas?PPCP-focused content that reinforces the pharmacists role in pharmacogenomics?Ideal for adoption in courses teaching pharmacogenomics and pharmacogenetics
