Deskripsi

Drug target Mendelian randomization (MR) uses genetic variation in or near a gene encoding a drug target to anticipate the effect of drug action on the same target. Using drug target MR, the authors prioritized 30 targets that might elicit beneficial effects in the prevention or treatment of coronary heart disease.
