An introduction to pharmacogenomics in dermatology has been
published in Seminars in Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery by Stanford Medicine
dermatology resident Dr. Roxana Daneshjou, PharmGKB curator Dr. Rachel Huddart
and PharmGKB co-PIs Dr. Teri Klein and Dr. Russ Altman.
After introducing the field of pharmacogenomics, the paper
highlights some of the features of PharmGKB, including our search
functionality, curated pathways and drug label annotations. The work of CPIC is
also introduced with examples of dermatology-relevant guidelines such as
carbamazepine and HLA-A/HLA-B. The article concludes with a discussion of the
current state of pharmacogenomics implementation in the clinic.
Although the article has a focus on dermatology, it is relevant to anyone who wants to learn more about pharmacogenomic resources
and implementation, regardless of their clinical field. The paper can be
