Progress in understanding the genomic basis for adverse drug reactions: a comprehensive review and focus on the role of ethnicity

A major goal of the field of pharmacogenomics is to identify the genomic causes of serious adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Increasingly, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been used to achieve this goal. In this article, we review recent progress in the identification of genetic variants associated with ADRs using GWAS and discuss emerging themes from these studies. We also compare aspects of GWAS for ADRs to GWAS for common diseases. In the second part of the article, we review progress in performing pharmacogenomic research in multi-ethnic populations and discuss the challenges and opportunities of investigating genetic causes of ADRs in ethnically diverse patient populations..
