Popis: Motivation Genetic variants in drug targets and metabolizing enzymes often have important functional implications, including altering the efficacy and toxicity of drugs. Identifying single nucleotide variants (SNVs) that contribute to differences in drug response and understanding their underlying mechanisms are fundamental to successful implementation of the precision medicine model. This work reports an effort to collect, classify and analyze SNVs that may affect the optimal response to currently approved drugs. Results An integrated approach was taken involving data mining across multiple information resources including databases containing drugs, drug targets, chemical structures, protein–ligand structure complexes, genetic and clinical variations as well as protein sequence alignment tools. We obtained 2640 SNVs of interest, most of which occur rarely in populations (minor allele frequency Availability and Implementation Data are available from Supplementary information file.
