Pharmacogenomics is the study of differences in drug response based on individual genetic background. With rapidly advancing genomic technologies and decreased costs of genotyping, the field of pharmacogenomics continues to develop. Application to patients with kidney disease provides growing opportunities for improving drug therapy. Pharmacogenomics studies are lacking in patients with chronic kidney disease and dialysis but are abundant in the kidney transplant field. A clinically actionable genetic variant exists in the CYP3A5 gene, with the initial tacrolimus dose selection optimized based on CYP3A5 genotype. Though many pharmacogenomics studies have focused on transplant immunosuppression pharmacokinetics, an expanding literature on pharmacodynamic outcomes like calcineurin inhibitor toxicity and new onset diabetes is providing new information on patients at risk. Appropriately powered pharmacogenomics studies with well-defined phenotypes are needed to validate existing studies and unearth new findings in patients with kidney disease, especially the chronic kidney disease and dialysis population.
