Abstract
We investigate the role of ethnicity and admixture in drug response across a broad group of chemotherapeutic drugs. Also, we generate hypotheses on the genetic variants driving differential drug response through multivariate genome-wide association studies. Immortalized lymphoblastoid cell lines from 589 individuals (Hispanic or non-Hispanic/Caucasian) were used to investigate dose-response for 28 chemotherapeutic compounds. Univariate and multivariate statistical models were used to elucidate associations between genetic variants and differential drug response as well as the role of ethnicity in drug potency and efficacy. For many drugs, the variability in drug response appears to correlate with self-reported race and estimates of genetic ancestry. Additionally, multivariate genome-wide association analyses offered interesting hypotheses governing these differential responses.
