Abstract: Along with deep scientific research and continual development of pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics, the new era of individual pharmacotherapy will come true in the future. The genetic variations of drug related proteins including drug metabolism enzymes, drug transport proteins, and drug active receptors and or targets are basic factors resulting in individual and ethnic differences in drug response. Choosing the suitable drugs and dosages according to genotypes of drug related proteins in patients will furthest improve the pharmacotherapy efficacy and reduce the adverse drug reaction and toxic effect of drugs.

Key words: pharmacogenetics, individual difference, genetic polymorphism, drug responsiveness
