MR, Mendelian randomization; EHR, electronic health record.

aThese studies performed drug repurposing by using publicly available multi-class sources regarding human omic data, drug and disease information, not in a specific population.

bStudies in this category first identified susceptibility genes and then referred to drug information from publicly available databases to evaluate the druggability of the identified markers or to explore potential repurposed indications for existing drugs based on the shared similarity.
