Recognition that there is a vast quantity of human genetic variation has had a pervasive impact on modern medicine, facilitating the identification of scores of genes that underlie monogenic clinical disorders, as well as genes involved in complex disease processes. The next logical step for human genetics is the exploration and elucidation of genes involved in differential pharmacological response: responders, nonresponders, and those with adverse side effects. An understanding of the role that genes have in pharmacological response is the cornerstone of personalized medicine. Pharmacogenetic activities have swiftly embraced these tenets, leading to a proliferation of resources and approaches meant to enable and expedite targeted drug discovery and development. To realize the potential of these efforts, it will be necessary to incorporate a better understanding of the population genetic and evolutionary processes that have shaped genetic variation in modern humans. This article introduces these concepts to provide context and guidelines for the use of this variation (primarily single-nucleotide polymorphisms and haplotypes) in pharmacogenetics.

Stable cell surface presentation of HLA class I molecules requires active transport of antigenic peptides across the endoplasmic reticulum by products of two genes, TAP1 and TAP2, which map in the major histocompatibility complex class II region. Alleles of each gene are derived from a combination of variable sites at each locus. In this study, TAP1 and TAP2 alleles were identified in homozygous typing cell (HTC) lines, allowing resolution of specific haplotypes in conjunction with the highly polymorphic HLA class II region haplotypes. Three alleles at each TAP locus were found from which eight haplotypes could be assigned. Determination of TAP1 and TAP2 alleles in cell lines homozygous at DR, DQ, and DP created eight additional haplotypes beyond the number observed with these class II genes alone. Complete analysis of DR, DQ, TAP, and DP genotypes in 66 HTCs resulted in the following groups: 1) 46 homozygotes; 2) nine homozygous at DR, DQ, and TAP, but heterozygous at DP; 3) four homozygous at DR, DQ, and DP, but heterozygous at one or both TAP genes; 4) four homozygous at DR and DQ, but heterozygous at TAP and DP; and 5) three complex genotypes heterozygous at DP, TAP, and at least one of DQA1, DQB1, or DRB1 loci. TAP1 and TAP2 genes map in an area of frequent recombination. TAP alleles were determined in five DQB1, DPB1 recombinant individuals, three of which were informative. Recombination was found between DQB1 and the TAP loci in two individuals and between TAP and DPB1 in the other individual.

Approaches exploiting trait distribution extremes may be used to identify loci associated with common traits, but it is unknown whether these loci are generalizable to the broader population. In a genome-wide search for loci associated with the upper versus the lower 5th percentiles of body mass index, height and waist-to-hip ratio, as well as clinical classes of obesity, including up to 263,407 individuals of European ancestry, we identified 4 new loci (IGFBP4, H6PD, RSRC1 and PPP2R2A) influencing height detected in the distribution tails and 7 new loci (HNF4G, RPTOR, GNAT2, MRPS33P4, ADCY9, HS6ST3 and ZZZ3) for clinical classes of obesity. Further, we find a large overlap in genetic structure and the distribution of variants between traits based on extremes and the general population and little etiological heterogeneity between obesity subgroups. © 2013 Nature America, Inc.
