The Prevalence of Pharmacogenomics Variants and Their Clinical Relevance Among the Pakistani Population.

This study highlights the frequency of important clinical pharmacogenetic variants (1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B) among multi-ethnic Pakistani populations. The high prevalence (>50%) of single nucleotide pharmacogenetic variants may contribute to the drug response/diseases outcome. These PGx data could be used as pharmacogenetic markers in the selection of appropriate therapeutic regimens for specific ethnic groups of Pakistan.
