A genetic test (DNA test) is a test used to assess the changes in the DNA or chromosome structure. This can be used in the medical field to rule out or discover possible genetic conditions of a patient.
Appropriate dosing of pharmaceuticals is critical to prevent sub-therapeutic efficacy or the occurrence of adverse events. However, genetic variability may significantly influence an individu...
