PGxDB

PGxDB (Pharmacogenomics database) is a one-stop shop for pharmacogenomics research offering:

  • Reference data (see Data box)
  • Tools to to compare and customize analysis on high-level indication areas, find and interlink diverse variant effect predictions, associate these to annotated drug response variability associations and interrogate disease or medication associations
  • Tools explore relationship between ATC-level indexed medications, their molecular target profiles in terms of metabolizing enzymes, transporters, and drug targets

Data in PGxDB can be accessed by

  • Any drug
  • Target, enzyme, or transporter
  • Disease
  • Variant
