RARE BIOMARKERS FOR INCREASED RISK OF DRUG-INDUCED ELONGATED QT INTERVAL AND TORSADES DE POINTES FROM EXOME SEQUENCING STUDIES

摘要

The present disclosure provides a method for predicting the risk of a patient for developing adverse drug reactions, particularly drug-induced prolonged QT interval or TdP. The disclosure also provides a method of identifying a subject afflicted with, or at risk of, developing TdP. In some aspects, the methods comprise analyzing at least one genetic marker, wherein the presence of the at least one genetic marker indicates that the subject is afflicted with, or at risk of, developing TdP.
