Pharmacogenomics in Cancer Treatment: Challenges and Opportunities in African Settings
ABSTRACT Background Cancer incidence in Africa is projected to reach 2.1 million new cases annually by 2040. Current treatment guidelines remain largely based on pharmacogenomic data predominantly from European and Asian genetic profiles, potentially compromising safety and efficacy in African patients.

Molecular basis of gene-environment interactions in the pathogenesis of asthma and COPD
The origins of respiratory disease, such as asthma in childhood and COPD in later life are unclear. Maternal smoking during pregnancy and low birth weight is associated with increased risk of asthma, poor lung function in adults and COPD in old age ...

Association between null Genotypes of glutathione S-transferase M1 and T1 and susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus: A meta-analysis [PDF]
Oxidative stress is involved in the development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It is well known that activity of the glutathione S-transferase superfamily has a protective effect against oxidative stress.

ABSTRACT Pediatric cancer is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children. The etiologies of pediatric cancer are largely unknown, but environmental pesticide exposures are likely to contribute. Chronic low‐dose exposure to pesticide mixtures through drinking water is a growing concern in agricultural communities.

Up-regulation of GSTT1 in serous ovarian cancer associated with resistance to TAXOL / carboplatin
Serous ovarian cancer (SOC) is the most common women cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality among the gynaecological malignancies. Although effective chemotherapeutics combined with surgery are developed for the treatment, the five-year

Based on meta‐analyses and cumulative epidemiological evidence, the present study identifies 11 genetic variants in 11 genes that are truly associated with the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. Our work presents a systematic synopsis, which helps elucidate the mechanisms of carcinogenesis and provides insights into the early diagnosis and novel ...
