Biobank scale pharmacogenomics informs the genetic underpinnings of simvastatin use

2020-11-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background and Purpose</h4> Studying drug metabolizing enzymes, encoded by pharmacogenes (PGx), may inform biological mechanisms underlying the diseases for which a medication is prescribed. Until recently, PGx loci could not be studied at biobank scale. Here we analyze PGx haplotype variation to detect associations with medication use in the UK Biobank. <h4>Methods</h4> In 7,649 unrelated African-ancestry (AF...
