o better understand how people react differently to medicines, scientists doing pharmacogenetic research need to find normal variations among certain human genes. This can be done by collecting DNA from blood samples or cheek cells. Scientists store the information from the DNA samples in a research database. To protect the privacy of study volunteers, researchers will not match individual names or other personal information with the DNA information that is recorded in the research database.
