Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have identified thousands of genetic variants that contribute to disease and pharmacologic traits. More recently, high-throughput sequencing studies promise to provide a more complete catalog of genetic variants with roles in human phenotypic variation. Yet, characterizing the influence of functional variants on genes, RNAs, proteins, and ultimately disease or pharmacologic traits is a critical challenge for a vast majority of the implicated susceptibility loci. Here we describe SCAN, a bioinformatics resource we have developed to elucidate the functional consequences of genetic variants identified by genome-wide scans. In particular, this public resource implements a systems biology approach to pharmacogenomic discovery.
