Genome-wide associations spanning 194 in-hospital drug dosage change phenotypes highlight diverse genetic backgrounds in concurrent drug therapy

Abstract excerpt

As populations get older and medicine consumption rises, the rate of concurrent drug use and polypharmacy among patients is increasing. Polypharmacy is known to complicate therapy and increase the risk of drug-drug interactions, the individuality of which remain largely unexplored. Here, we perform a series of genome-wide association studies to identify variants associated with dosage changes during episodes of...
