clinicians and regulatory institutions, in order to facilitate the use of phar-
macogenetics tests (Quinones et al., 2014).
As reviewed in previous sections, there are several diseases of high epidemio-
logical impact that have been relatively understudied in Latin American coun-
tries (e.g., autism, MDD, migraine, multiple sclerosis, epilepsies, and alcohol
and drug abuse). A focus on the large burden of these disorders might benefit
from the possibility that public agencies would provide available funds for its
mitigation (Forero et al., 2014).
