Inheritance plays a significant role in defining drug response and toxicity. Advances in molecular pharmacology and modern genomics emphasize genetic variation in dictating inter‐individual pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. A case in point is the homeostatic ATP‐sensitive potassium (K ATP ) channel, an established drug target that adjusts membrane excitability to match cellular energetic demand. There is an increased recognition that genetic variability of the K ATP channel impacts therapeutic decision‐making in human disease.
