This scientific blog analyzes potential applications of drug response-efficacy biomarkers for predicting future onset of drug therapy induced life-threatening diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases and cancer. In an exploratory analysis, anti-TNF therapy response markers of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were analyzed, by intelligent data mining and data analysis, to demonstrate that these biomarkers may be potentially used for predicting the risk in developing cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), like atherosclerosis, in RA patients.
