Novel Pharmacogene Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms and Methods of Detecting Same
First Claim
1. A method for interrogating thousands of aggregated whole human genome sequences, the method comprising (a) using a targeted analysis of one or more selected pharmacogenes and (b) determining polymorphic sequences that may associate with a drug response, wherein the method is executed on an inexpensive, energy-efficient, and heterogeneous graphics processing unit (GPU)-cluster based workstation.

Abstract
The present invention provides pharmacogene polymorphisms and their use in predicting therapeutic effectiveness. The present invention also provides methods comprising targeted analysis of selected pharmacogenes in thousands of compiled whole human genome sequences for identifying polymorphic sequences associated with drug response are described. The methods also provide confirmation and validation of these pharmacogene polymorphisms, based on concordance between different sequencing technologies, and statistical error-checking. Imputation of the deleterious consequences of novel variants is predicted by bioinformatics analysis.

5. A method for determining likelihood of an adverse or modified response to an anti-depressant or psychiatric drug in a patient in need thereof, the method comprising obtaining a biological sample from said patient and assaying the biological sample for the presence at least one polymorphism in one or more pharmacogenes selected from those identified in SEQ ID NOs:
- 1-118, wherein the presence of at least one polymorphism indicates that an adverse or modified response to the anti-depressant or psychiatric drug is likely.
