Abstract
AbstractRecent studies have pointed out the essential role of genetic ancestry in population pharmacogenetics. In this study, we analyzed the whole-genome sequencing data from The 1000 Genomes Project (Phase 3) and the pharmacogenetic information from Drug Bank, PharmGKB, PharmaADME, and Biotransformation. Here we show that ancestry-informative markers are enriched in pharmacogenetic loci, suggesting that trans-ancestry differentiation must be carefully considered in population pharmacogenetics studies. Ancestry-informative pharmacogenetic loci are located in both protein-coding and non-protein-coding regions, illustrating that a whole-genome analysis is necessary for an unbiased examination over pharmacogenetic loci. Finally, those ancestry-informative pharmacogenetic loci that target multiple drugs are often a functional variant, which reflects their importance in biological functions and pathways. In summary, we develop an efficient algorithm for an ultrahigh-dimensional principal component analysis. We create genetic catalogs of ancestry-informative markers and genes. We explore pharmacogenetic patterns and establish a high-accuracy prediction panel of genetic ancestry. Moreover, we construct a genetic ancestry pharmacogenomic database Genetic Ancestry PhD (http://hcyang.stat.sinica.edu.tw/databases/genetic_ancestry_phd/).
