Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Ritodrine is a commonly used tocolytic to prevent preterm labour. However, it can cause unexpected serious adverse reactions, such as pulmonary oedema, pulmonary congestion, and tachycardia. It is unknown whether such adverse reactions are associated with pharmacogenomic variants in patients. METHODS: Whole-exome sequencing of 13 subjects with serious ritodrine-induced cardiac and pulmonary...
