A new study from @qmul.ac.uk found that 9% of all adverse drug reactions (ADRs) reported to @mhragovuk.bsky.social are associated with medications where side effect risk is partly dependent on patient’s genes. Of these, 75% were associated with 3 genes that impact how the body processes medication.
