Transcriptome-wide association study uncovers the role of essential genes in anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity

Abstract Anthracyclines are highly effective chemotherapeutic agents; however, their clinical utility is limited by severe anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (ACT). Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have uncovered several genetic variants associated with ACT, but the impact of these findings...
