Extreme drug response phenotypes observed in the clinic have triggered molecular research on mechanisms of personto-person variations in drug safety and efficacy (Kalow, 1962; Ozdemir et al., 2009), and paved the way for the contemporary field of pharmacogenomics.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEditorial251134699259WOS:0007136192000012-s2.0-85119487502Q210.1089/omi.2021.0176N/A
