Pharmacogenetics-Pharmacogenomics-Personalized Medicine

The latest plot of numbers of publications suing the terms 'Pharmacogenetics', 'Pharmacogenomics', and 'Personalized Medicine'. (see previous plot) Interestingly the term 'Pharmacogenomics' isn't replacing the term 'Pharmacogenetics' at all. This is despite what has often been expressed that the two terms are used interchangeably. Quite obviously the scientific community does make a distinction between the two terms and continue to use them in distinct ways. The number of times the P'genetics term is used still remains greater than that for P'genomics.

Perhaps P'genomics should be considered a subset of P'genetics rather than what has often conversely been suggested.
