Key Takeaways
- Pharmacogenomics (PGx) is the science of understanding the influence of a person’s genome (i.e., their complete set of DNA and genes) on drug treatment outcomes.

- Pharmacogenomics is disrupting three elements of healthcare: care delivery, cost/payment models, and clinical evidence.
