Question

Pharmacogenetic testing will not

identify drug-drug interactions.

predict toxicity to a drug.

predict response to a drug.

distinguish rapid from slow metabolizers.

Answer 1

I hope you will rate my answer positively--

The correct option is 1, pharmacogenetic testing will not identify drug- drug interactions .because of inducers and inhibitors as well as changes occurring in cytochrome P450 enzyme altering the metabolism and it become difficult to understand about their interactions.

The lower both option is incorrect i.e it predict the toxicity and response of the drug by measures of clinical validity it is indicated by measures of discriminative accuracy and predictive value.it can also distinguish between the rapid from slow metabolizers because in slow metabolizers it lack the enzymes due to which it act slowly than the normal while in rapid metabolizers it has more enzymes which causes medication to leave the body too quickly and often before they have had chance to work properly.

thank - you.
