"This is an update on the current understanding of pharmacogenomics, drug targets, and drug transporters. ... This book appears to be written for practitioners and provides clinically relevant information that can be used in practice. ... One of the unique aspects of this book is the focus on the implications of pharmacogenomics with respect to disease prevention, not merely treatment."
