Abstract:Hepatotoxicity is a serious adverse drug reaction related to methotrexate (MTX). However, the cause of drug‐induced liver injury (DILI) is still unclear and unpredictable. Genetic risk factors may predispose for MTX‐DILI. Therefore, we conducted a nested case‐control genome‐wide association study to explore genetic risk factors associated with MTX‐DILI. Seven international groups contributed blood samples and data of patients with rheumatoid arthritis who used MTX. MTX‐DILI was defined as an alanine aminotrans… Show more
