## Drug-Gene Interactions

### Description

Checks for drug-gene interactions and druggable categories

### Usage

    drugInteractions(maf, top = 20, genes = NULL, plotType = "bar",
      drugs = FALSE, fontSize = 0.8)

### Arguments

`maf` | an `MAF` object generated by `read.maf`
`top` | Top number genes to check for. Default 20
`genes` | Manually specify gene list
`plotType` | Can be bar, pie, or wordCloud. Default bar plot.
`drugs` | Check for known/reported drugs. Default FALSE
`fontSize` | Default 0.8

### Details

This function takes a list of genes and checks for known/reported drug-gene interactions or Druggable categories. All gene-drug interactions and drug claims are compiled from Drug Gene Interaction Databse. See reference for details and cite it if you use this function.
