Frequently Asked Questions
7. How do genes affect how people respond
to drugs?
Genes determine the make-up of all the body's proteins, and as
drugs travel through the body they interact with proteins. So,
small variations in your genetic make-up can produce proteins that
act differently with drugs. This can affect how you respond -- or
don't respond -- to a medicine.
