Introduction Individual variations in drug response are frequently associated with three groups of protein:ADME-associated proteins: proteins responsible for the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) of drugsTherapeutic targets: proteins that can be modified by an external stimulus (drug molecules). ADR related proteins: drug adverse reaction related proteins
The factors in variations of drug responses:Sequence polymorphismTranscriptional processing of proteins: altered methylations of genes, differential splicing of mRNASPost-transcriptional processing of proteins: differences in protein folding, glycosylation, turnover and trafficking.

The needs of prediction of pharmacogenetic response to drugs
Pharmacogenetic prediction and mechanistic elucidation of individual variations of drug responses is important for facilitating the design of personalized drugs and optimum dosages.
For most drugs, not all of the ADME-associated proteins responsible for metabolism and disposition of pharmaceutical agents are known.

The feasibility of prediction of pharmacogenetic response to drugs
A number of studies have explored the possibility of using polymorphisms as indicators of specific drug responses.
Computational methods have been developed for analyzing complex genetic, expression and environmental data to analyze the association between drug response and the profiles of polymorphism, expression and environmental factors and to derive pharmacogenetic predictors of drug response

Limitation of Simple rules based methods
Low predicting accuracies of simple rules based methods: 50%~100% (comparable to those of 81%~97% for predicting HIV drug resistance mutations from the HIV resistant genotype interpretation systems)Variation of response to some drugs: associated with complex interaction of polymorphisms in multiple proteins
Simple rules: Limited predicting capacity for prediction of drug responses The basis for developing more sophisticated interpretation systems like those of the HIV resistant genotype interpretation systems

About the project:
Distinguish subgroups of patients who respond differently to drug treatment.
The study of genome-derived data, including human genetic variation, RNA and protein expression differences, to predict drug response in individual patients or groups of patients by using simple-rule based methods.
“Develop a simple rule-based computational drug response prediction system”
CZ5225 Methods in Computational Biology
A guide to the projectStep 1: Choose the research object
- one protein with quite a lot of corresponding drugs
- several function relevant proteins
Step 2: Drug Response Data collection
- by extensive searching web-sources
- developing a database of the information collected
Step3: Design a simple rule-based computational drug response prediction system
- using simply “penalty/score” to describe the simple rules
- comparing the variant sequence with wild type sequence
- predicting the possible drug responses

Genetic profiles
CZ5225 Methods in Computational Biology
Summary
Genetic profiles of new patients can be used to prescribe drugs more effectively and avoid adverse reactions.
Can also speed clinical trials by testing on those who are likely to respond well.
The primary goal is to reduce the time and cost of drug development.
