About
Stanford University researchers have developed a database of human genetic information. The database encompasses clinical information including dosing guidelines and drug labels, potentially clinically actionable gene-drug associations and genotype-phenotype relationships. PharmGKB collects, curates and disseminates knowledge about the impact of human genetic variation on drug responses. Further information can be found on the PharmGKB website.
