Identification of a Functional CYP2C8 Variant Allele that Alters Splicing, Reduces Protein Expression, and Increases Drug Exposure. [PDF]
This study investigated genetic determinants of the pharmacokinetics of the CYP2C8 index drugs repaglinide and gemfibrozil, and their interaction in healthy participants. Sequencing data from a study with montelukast revealed a novel functional CYP2C8 allele (rs2071426, CYP2C8*19), predicted to create an intronic splice donor site.

Real-World Claims Data on Prescribed Drugs and the Associated Drug-Drug Interaction Risk in Sickle Cell Disease in the United States. [PDF]
Real‐world prescription data from 6230 adolescents and adults living with sickle cell disease (SCD) were combined with a drug–drug interaction (DDI) database to characterize the population‐level DDI risk. The findings support a DDI risk assessment for development of novel SCD therapies and during clinical management of SCD.ABSTRACTSickle cell disease ...

The DHCQ/HCQ metabolic ratio and CYP2C8 Genotype are associated with lipid profile improvement in systemic lupus erythematosus patients treated with hydroxychloroquine [PDF]
Background Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) improves the lipid profile in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Whether the lipid profile-improving efficacy of HCQ relates to its metabolism by cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes remains unclear. Methods
