Four Pharmacogenomic Variants Strongly Linked to Corticosteroid‐Induced Avascular Necrosis in Children with Cancer

open access: yesThe Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Corticosteroids are effective anti‐cancer agents for treating hematologic malignancies in children. However, avascular necrosis (AVN) is a common and debilitating adverse effect, leading to bone death and impacting long‐term quality of life. This study aimed to uncover the genetic factors contributing to corticosteroid‐induced AVN in a well ...

From Genotype to Therapeutic Monitoring: Enhancing Tamoxifen Efficacy in Breast Cancer Treatment

open access: yesThe Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Endoxifen is the most active metabolite of tamoxifen and plays a central role in its therapeutic efficacy. However, significant interindividual variability in endoxifen plasma concentrations, driven by both genetic and non‐genetic factors, may result in subtherapeutic exposure for a substantial subset of patients.

Genetic polymorphism of cytochrome p450 (2C19) enzyme in Iranian Turkman ethnic group [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Objective: Different findings indicate that CYP2C plays a clinical role in determining interindividual and interethnic differences in drug effectiveness. The ethnic differences in the frequency of CYP2C19 mutant alleles continue to be a significant study

Pharmacogenetics and Stroke [PDF]

open access: yesStroke, 2009
Genetic variations have been shown to influence drug metabolism, risk of adverse drug events, and pharmacodynamic responses for many drugs routinely used to treat patients with stroke or at risk for stroke. Examples include clopidogrel, statins, antihypertensive medications, and coumadin.

An Integrative Drug‐Induced Transcriptomic Analysis Identifies Novel MYC Antagonists and Potential Synergistic Drug Combinations

open access: yesMolecular Carcinogenesis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT MYC is among the most frequently dysregulated oncogenes in human cancer, yet its direct targeting remains a significant challenge. Here, we present an in‐silico integrative screening approach to identify compounds and combinations that can block MYC's oncogenic function by specifically disrupting its transcriptional regulatory function.
