Abstract

Recent advances in pharmacogenetics offer the potential to optimize treatment for individual patients based on genotyping. This review describes the current state of knowledge of genetic variability in targets important in the treatment of allergy. A number of examples of possible pharmacogenetic variations within histamine receptor, β2-adrenoreceptor and others has been discussed.
