New work by Andy Dahl and Michal Sadowski on using GxE to study genetics of drug response now out in Cell Genomics www.cell.com/cell-genomic...
Sadowski et al. propose a framework to study the genetics of response to commonly prescribed drugs in large biobanks. They quantify the heritability of response to statins, metformin, warfarin, and methotrexate, and identify associated genes. Their analysis also shows the importance of accounting for drug use in genetic risk prediction.
