preview Human genetics to predict theurapetic window: case study with BAFF and belimumab

A recent study, published by researchers from the Institute for Genetic and Biomedical Research – National Research Council (CNR) and the University of Sassari in the New England Journal of Medicine, provides genetic support for a pharmacologically validated target, BAFF, in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus. But can human genetics also be used to estimate the target dose and a therapeutic window?
