In essence, pharmacogenetic research is aimed at discovering variants of importance to gene-treatment interaction. However, epidemiological studies are rarely set up with this goal in mind. It is therefore of great importance that researchers clearly communicate which assumptions they have had to make, and which inherent limitations apply to the interpretation of their results. This review discusses considerations of, and the underlying assumptions for, utilizing different response phenotypes and study designs popular in pharmacogenetic research to infer gene-treatment interaction effects, with a special focus on those dealing with of clinical effects of drug treatment.
