Since the initial studies in the 1950s, the field of pharmacogenetics has shown a lot of promise. The advent of high-throughput technology and next-generation sequencing has only added to the development of this field. Amidst several challenges like the lack of a comprehensive genomic database and varied prescription practices, pharmacogenetics has immense potential from the personalized medicine, novel biomarker discovery and drug development perspective in a genetically diverse population like India.
