British Medical Bulletin, 1999 Inter-individual variability in drug response is a major clinical problem. Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are common, are responsible for a number of debilitating side effects following drug therapy and are a significant cause of death. It is now clear that much of the observed variability in drug response has a genetic basis, arising as a result of ...

Pharmacogenetics of Antidepressants [PDF]
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2011 Up to 60% of depressed patients do not respond completely to antidepressants (ADs) and up to 30% do not respond at all. Genetic factors contribute for about 50% of the AD response. During the recent years the possible influence of a set of candidate genes as genetic predictors of AD response efficacy was investigated by us and others.

Pharmacogenetics of osteoporosis [PDF]
Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2010 Osteoporosis is a complex bone disorder with a strong genetic basis. The genetics of osteoporosis encompasses two main areas: genetics of disease susceptibility and pharmacogenetics of drug response. The former has been widely studied in the past few decades, while the latter is still largely untouched.

Human Molecular Genetics, 2001 Pharmacogenetics is the variability of drug response due to inherited characteristics in individuals. Drug metabolizing enzymes have been studied for decades, first as chemical reactions and, more recently, as specific polymorphisms of known molecules.

Moving Pharmacogenetics Into Practice: It’s All About the Evidence!
Clinical pharmacology and therapy, 2021 The evidence for pharmacogenetics has grown rapidly in recent decades. However, the strength of evidence required for the clinical implementation of pharmacogenetics is highly debated.

Pharmacogenetics: Knowledge assessment amongst Syrian pharmacists and physicians
BMC Health Services Research, 2021 Background Pharmacogenetics targets genetic variations that influence drug response. It is relatively a new science that has not been vastly employed in most developing countries including Syria. Therefore we aimed at evaluating the depth of knowledge in

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020 Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I and II are known to have association with severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs) when exposing to certain drug treatment. Due to genetic differences at population level, drug hypersensitivity reactions are varied,

The pharmacogenetics of imanitib [PDF]
Genome Medicine, 2010 Imatinib mesylate (IM), a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is one of the first molecularly targeted therapies to have been used in the clinic. It has proven to be efficient in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia and also in other malignancies that involve expression of a tyrosine kinase.

Pharmacogenetic testing in oncology: a Brazilian perspective
Clinics, 2018 Pharmacogenetics, a major component of individualized or precision medicine, relies on human genetic diversity. The remarkable developments in sequencing technologies have revealed that the number of genetic variants modulating drug action is much higher
