Pharmacogenomics: Identification of New Drug Targets

57
Advances in genomics have profoundly influenced drug discovery by increasing both the speed and accuracy of pharmaceutical development. Pharmacogenomics, which examines how genetic variation influences drug response, facilitates the identification of novel therapeutic targets and enables patient stratification for personalized treatment. These strategies contribute to improved drug efficacy, minimized adverse effects, and more efficient clinical trial design.Mapping genetic differences...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

16.3K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics: Overview

104
Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics examine how genetic factors influence an individual's response to drugs. While pharmacogenetics focuses on the impact of specific genetic variants on drug effects, pharmacogenomics takes a broader approach, studying how genetic variation across populations contributes to differences in drug responses. These fields aim to explain why individuals may experience varying levels of efficacy or adverse reactions to the same medication.Variability in drug...

Gene Families

10.2K
Gene families consist of groups of genes proposed to have originated from a common ancestor. Typically these arise through events in which a gene or genes are mistakenly duplicated during cell division. Unlike their parent genes (which are subject to selection pressure to maintain function), these gene copies do not need to preserve their sequences and may evolve at a relatively faster rate.
Occasionally these regions can be adapted to take on new roles within the organism, becoming novel genes...

Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

5.8K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Interpreting genetic variants from next-generation sequencing requires integrating diverse information.
  • Existing methods struggle with complex genetic traits and large datasets.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce PERCH (Polymorphism Evaluation, Ranking, and Classification for a Heritable trait), a novel framework for gene prioritization and variant classification.
  • To quantitatively unify multiple data sources for improved accuracy and efficiency.

Main Methods:

  • Developed BayesDel, a new measure of genetic variant deleteriousness.
  • Integrated BayesDel with gene-disease relevance, linkage analysis, rare-variant association tests, and variant call quality scores.
  • Supported diverse genetic data structures (pedigrees, trios, case-controls) and complex inheritance patterns (reduced penetrance, phenocopy rates).

Main Results:

  • BayesDel demonstrated superior accuracy compared to 12 established prediction tools.
  • PERCH showed greater speed and power than pVAAST in simulations for complex disease genetics.
  • The framework effectively classified variants of uncertain significance by integrating allele frequencies, deleteriousness, association, and co-segregation.

Conclusions:

  • PERCH offers a versatile and powerful approach for gene discovery and clinical variant interpretation.
  • The framework's ability to handle complex genetic data and its high accuracy make it valuable for genetic research.
  • PERCH advances the interpretation of genetic variants, aiding in understanding complex diseases and clinical genetic testing.
