Sulfonylureas are a cornerstone of type 2 diabetes therapy despite interindividual variability in response. Despite well-documented sex-based differences, pharmacogenomic and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have largely overlooked sex as a biological variable. We conducted the first sex-stratified GWAS of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) response to sulfonylureas in Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes...
