Genes and variants not found in the table above do not significantly affect methotrexate exposure. Please see Table S2 in Supplementary for full list of genes and variants. Underlined references found a significant association between variant and methotrexate exposure. * Indicates the studies that showed increased MTX exposure when there were conflicting reports for a variant. ↑ Indicates that the variant is associated with increased/higher methotrexate exposure. ↓ Indicates that the variant is associated with decreased/lower methotrexate exposure.
