Wednesday, January 3, 2024

NEW YORK, Jan. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Driven by the need for a better way to prioritize targets for drug development, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has led the development of a novel "genetic priority score" (GPS) that will integrate various types of human genetic data into a single easy-to-interpret score.

Key Points: 
  • The score measures the general ability of a gene to be targeted by drugs; genes with a high score in the new tool are more likely to succeed as a drug target.
  • The score identifies both known drug gene targets as well as potential novel therapeutic targets.
  • The GPS, with its potential to streamline target prioritization, is positioned to have a significant impact on drug development.
  • The paper is titled "Development of a human genetics-guided priority score for 19,365 genes and 399 drug indications."
