Abstract
Definitions of genetic polymorphism currently employed
in the pharmacological literature have been incorrectly
used (Kalow, 1984) and uncritically imported from
population genetics [e.g., Weinshilboum (1984), Evans
(1977)], apparently without regard to the problems their
application might present in pharmacogenetics or, more
specifically, in pharmacogenetic studies of populations.
