Product Details:As the growing field of pharmacogenomics continues to impact daily practice and offer promising new drug therapies, understanding this complex science is critical for all pharmacists—students, esidents, and established practitioners. To meet this need, ASHP’s Concepts in Pharmacogenomics has been completely updated for the second edition. Edited by Martin M. Zdanowicz, Ph.D., MEd, MA, the new edition covers both the undamentals of pharmacogenomics and the latest genomic technologies. Written by pharmacists and geneticists, it not only covers basic science concepts but also includes expanded coverage of therapeutic applications. Each chapter features key definitions, case tudies, and clinical pearls, with figures and summary tables to further support learning.This new edition includes: • Updated methodologies such as next generation sequencing• Advances in therapeutic applications• Expanded use of point-of-care genetic testing• Role of pharmacogenomics in the individualization of chemotherapy• New chapters on pharmacogenomics of drug addiction and antidiabetic drugsA clearly written, comprehensive guide to the evolving science of pharmacogenomics, the second edition can help students and clinicians acquire a deep understanding of this important new cientific field and become current with today’s latest developments.Table of contents:PART I—Fundamentals of Pharmacogenomics Chapter 1: Pharmacogenomics: Current and Future PromiseChapter 2: The Genetic Basis of Pharmacogenomics Chapter 3: Methodologies in PharmacogenomicsChapter 4: The Pharmacogenetics of Drug MetabolismChapter 5: Pharmacogenomics of Transport ProteinChapter 6: Pharmacodynamics and PharmacogenomicsPART II—Applications of Pharmacogenomics in Therapeutics Chapter 7: Cardiovascular DiseaseChapter 8: Hematology/Oncology PharmacogenomicChapter 9: Central Nervous SystemChapter 10: Infectious DiseaseChapter 11: Respiratory DiseasesChapter 12: ToxicogenomicChapter 13: The Pharmacogenetics of AddictionChapter 14: Pharmacogenomics and Diabetes MellitusPART III—Important Issues in Pharmacogenomics Chapter 15: Pharmacogenomic Testing and Drug LabelingChapter 16: Pharmacogenomics in Practice: The Role of the PharmacistChapter 17: Ethics and PharmacogenomicsChapter 18: Future of Pharmacogenomics in Clinical Practice
