Abstract
Branford et al correctly highlight that ethnic variability in allele frequencies can be a major source of variability between pharmacogenetic studies. Indeed, as we discuss in the original publication,1 population differences along with other differences between studies (eg, sample size, tumor type, and treatment regimen) are all possible causes for the lack of replication of previous findings.
