Pharmacogenomics
Hi. Concerning my recent edit to Pharmacogenomics that you have reverted, please note that in addition to replacing the problematic citation to a commercial site with a link to, I had also (1) added three additional citations supporting other statements in the article, (2) fixed a dead link to the FDA web site, (3) added internal wiki links to codeine, clopidogrel, tamoxifen, and warfarin, and (4) changed →. I have restored my previous edit and retained for now the problematic citation to the commercial DNA Kits Web site.

The link to the commercial DNA Kits site is problematic since the primary purpose of this web site is to sell DNA test kits and therefore linking to it constitutes WP:LINKSPAM. Furthermore, while citations are provided on the linked page appear to be reliable sources, there is no direct citation to support the statement "CYPs .. control the metabolism of more than 70 percent of prescription drugs". Hence the linked source appears to be original research and should be replaced with a reliable citation. Boghog (talk) 05:28, 11 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I have found a reliable source (see ) that documents "Cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase ... catalyze the ... metabolism of more than 80% of prescription drugs". Hence I have replaced the commercial DNA Kits link with a citation to this reliable source.  Boghog (talk) 05:39, 11 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Concerning this edit, the "personal work" that you are referring to appears to be copy and pasted from this brochure that is copyrighted by the American Medical Association. This is contrary to Wikipedia's policies (see WP:COPYVIO).  In addition the link that you provided to is to a site whose primary purpose is to sell DNA test kits and therefore this link constitutes WP:LINKSPAM.  I have therefore reverted your edit.
