Background/Aims: Pharmacogenomics aims to rationalize drug use by minimizing drug toxicity and/or by increasing drug efficacy. A large number of genomic markers have been correlated with variable drug responses and severity of adverse drug reactions. Although a number of these drugs bear pharmacogenomic information in their labels - approved by regulatory agencies - and comprehensive drug/gene lists exist online, information related to the respective pharmacogenomic biomarkers is currently missing from such lists. Methods: We extracted information from the published literature and online resources and developed DruGeVar (http://drugevar.genomicmedicinealliance.org), an online resource triangulating drugs with genes and pharmacogenomic biomarkers in an effort to build a comprehensive database that could serve clinical pharmacogenomics. Results and Conclusions: A user-friendly data querying and visualization interface allows users to formulate simple and complex queries. Such a database would be readily applicable as a stand-alone resource or a plug-in module for other databases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
