An overview of a number of research papers examines application of pharmacogenetic tests in narcology. It has been proven that a system of pharmacogenetic tests can be used for the development of a polygenic predictive system which can provide a preliminary forecast of effectiveness and tolerability of a treatment as part of the individualization of addiction pharmacotherapy. Moreover, methods of genetic engineering can be a new emerging approach in the treatment of addiction.
