Abstract: Pharmacogenetics is essential for explanation on individual variation of drug responses, and application of personalized medicine. Recently new technological developments draw attentions for their clinical applications in hypertension therapy. This article aims to review the advancements in gene polymorphisms related with hypertension therapy from pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics points, as well as their impacts on hypertension therapy, according to ourexperiences in such fields. We conclude that pharmacogenomics advancements such as gene-array would greatly improve personalized medicine of hypertension and other diseases in the future.
