Pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine incorporate genetic factors, historical data, and environmental exposures to predict individual variation in response to medications. The study of pharmacology and pharmacogenomics is challenging in obstetrics, and knowledge lags behind other disciplines of medicine. However, some preliminary data suggest that some of the inter-individual variation seen in response to medications given for the prevention (progesterone) and treatment (nifedipine, terbutaline, others) of preterm labor may be due to pharmacogenomic effects. A comprehensive approach, integrating clinical data, environmental factors including concomitant medications, and genotype to optimize prevention and treatment strategies for preterm birth, is urgently needed.
