Several such examples exist in the literature: besides the already mentioned role of SLCO1B1 in the disposition of methotrexate in children with ALL (Trevino et al., 2009), this same transporter was shown to be involved in statins’ induced myopathy (Link et al., 2008); another example of genome-wide studies is the discovery of a role for ITPA in anemia induced by the anti-viral agent ribavirin (Fellay et al., 2010). The gene discussed is SLCO1B1; the disease is acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
