Pharmacogenomics: A Promising Approach Towards Treatment of Autism

Hansen Wang

Pharmacogenomics investigates variations in the human genome and the ways in which genetic diversity might influence individual response to drug treatment. Autism is a complex genetic disorder, which awaits a pharmacogenomic approach to better its treatment. This article describes recent developments of genetics and pharmacogenomics in the field of autism, and highlights the prospective of pharmacogenomics in developing novel and more effective therapies, and personalizing treatment strategies for autism.
