Questions and Answers

How can your DNA affect drug response according to the text?

  • By affecting the targeted drug development process
  • By influencing the rate of drug uptake into cells
  • By controlling drug metabolism within the body
  • By determining the type of drug receptors you have (correct)

In pharmacogenomics, what does the CYP2D6 gene primarily affect?

  • Drug uptake
  • Drug receptors
  • Targeted drug development
  • Drug metabolism (correct)

How can decreased drug uptake into cells affect drug efficacy?

  • It causes the drug to accumulate in tissues (correct)
  • It enhances targeted drug development
  • It increases the drug's effectiveness
  • It accelerates the drug's action
