Farglitazar oedema AE PGx• Based on data emerging after completion of clinicaltrials this study was conducted on stored DNAsamples• Several polymorphisms in SCNN1B were highlysignificantly associated with oedema adverse events inFarglitazar clinical trials• These findings strengthen the hypothesis implicatingrenal sodium handling in the development of PPARγinduced fluid retention and suggest opportunities formanagement (eg, amiloride)• “No samples, no science”

Ethical considerations• PGx is not ‘exceptional’• PGx information is treated the same as otherclinical data DNA samples are collected following clinicaltrial informed consent DNA samples for PGx are coded to protectpatient identity• Primary goal of PGx is to investigate geneticvariation relating to drug effects, not to predictlikelihood of developing a disease
