Pharmacogenetics: Clinical Applications and Cases Across the Lifespan

Groups such as the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have developed guidelines supporting the implementation of pharmacogenetics into practice. However, many mental health clinicians are either unfamiliar with or uncertain about these guidelines, the evidence supporting their development, or the circumstances in which they should be employed.
