Many current drugs are “one size fits all.” But they don't work the same way for everyone.
So it can be difficult to predict
who will benefit from a medicine
who will not respond at all
who will experience adverse drug reactions.
The reason behind this varied response is the unique genetic makeup of a person. This is where pharmacogenomics comes into play.
Pharmacogenomics helps to develop effective, safe medications and doses that will be tailored to a person’s genetic makeup.
Pharmacogenomics is the study of how genes affect a person’s response to drugs. Pharmacogenomics = Pharmacology (science of drugs) + genomics (study of genes & their functions).
Pharmacogenomics is defined as the study of variability in drug response due to the genetic code. Pharmacogenomics argues that despite general sentiments, medications do not have the same effect on people. via @Berci

The updated guideline for pharmacogenetics-guided warfarin dosing:
The recommendations for dosing are for adult and pediatric patients that are specific to continental ancestry.
They are based on genotypes from CYP2C9, VKORC1, CYP4F2, and rs12777823.
