The Star Allele Nomenclature
April 5 2016
A way to identify pharmacogenomic markers Genetic variants identifiable as pharmacogenomic markers are described by utilizing a special nomenclature, which is not elsewhere used in genetics. It is the so-called star allele nomenclature. In this nomenclature, alleles aren’t identified by their cDNA or genomic position (as it usually happens with all other genetic variants – see HGVS nomenclature),
