Drug target gene-based analyses of drug repositionability in rare and intractable diseases

Abstract Drug development for rare and intractable diseases has been challenging for decades due to the low prevalence and insufficient information on these diseases. Drug repositioning is increasingly being used as a promising option in drug development. We aimed to analyze the trend of drug reposi...
