Variants related to disease treatments
Variants related to disease treatments
For diseases, drug-associated genetics also
Related to the introduction of a "genetics" tab for drugs, we have introduced a "genetics" tab for diseases. Of course, the area of genetic associations for disease is very large, but our curators are trying generally to focus on genetic variants that are known or suspected of having potential influence on drug response. In the example above for hypertension, we show both "in-depth" (3 stars, carefully curated) and regularly curated (2 stars, human check) examples. Because our curators annotate associations for relevant drugs, diseases and genes, we are able to aggregate this information in different ways and present them contextually in a variety of ways.
