Abstract excerpt
Expression quantitative locus (eQTL) studies have paved the way in identifying genetic variation impacting gene expression levels. African Americans (AAs) are disproportionately underrepresented in eQTL studies, resulting in a lack of power to identify population-specific regulatory variants especially related to drug response. Specific drugs are known to affect the biosynthesis of drug metabolism enzymes as well...
