Overview: Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics offer the potential of developing DNA-based tests to help maximize drug efficacy and enhance drug safety. Major scientific advances in this field have brought one to the point where such tests are poised to enter more widespread clinical use. However, many questions have been raised about whether such tests will be of significant value, and how to assess this. This paper reviews the application of economics-based resource-allocation frameworks to assess the value of pharmacogenomics, and the findings so far.
