Abstract
Personalized medicine is a broad and rapidly advancing field of health care that is informed by each person's unique clinical, genetic, genomic, and environmental information. Personalized medicine depends on multidisciplinary health care teams and integrated technologies (e.g., clin...

Abstract
We report a comprehensive analysis of genotype-dependent metabolic phenotypes using a GWAS with non-targeted metabolomics. We identified 37 genetic loci associated with blood metabolite concentrations, of which 25 show effect sizes that are unusually high for GWAS and account for 10-60% differences...

Abstract
Tamoxifen is metabolized by cytochrome P450s, with an important role for CYP2D6. Recently, we demonstrated in 80 patients that CYP2C19*2 is associated with increased survival in breast cancer patients using tamoxifen. Here, we aimed to confirm this in a large group of 499 patients.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an increasingly prevalent disease. Several classes of drugs are currently available to treat T2DM patients; however, clinical response to these drugs often exhibits significant variation among individuals. For the oral antidiabetic drug classes of sulfonylureas, non...

Abstract
Weight gain is an important side effect of antipsychotic drugs. Since the high interindividual difference in weight gain suggests that genetic factors play a role in this weight gain, studies have tried to identify these factors. Most of these studies were carried out in the past few years and focuss...

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs2734842(C), rs6275(T), and rs6279(C) located within DRD2, have been shown to be associated with prolactin increase in olanzapine/fluoxetine combination (OFC)-trea...
