Pharmacogenetics, pharmacogenomics and airway disease [PDF]
The availability of a draft sequence for the human genome will revolutionise research into airway disease. This review deals with two of the most important areas impinging on the treatment of patients: pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics.

Systematic investigation of chemo-immunotherapy synergism to shift anti-PD-1 resistance in cancer
Chemo-immunotherapy combinations have been regarded as one of the most practical ways to improve immunotherapy response in cancer patients. In this study, we integrate the transcriptomics data from anti-PD-1-treated tumors and compound-treated cancer ...

The pharmacogenetics of methotrexate [PDF]
Methotrexate (MTX) is a cornerstone of therapy for rheumatoid arthritis. However, it is not universally effective and up to one-third of patients fail to respond to treatment, either because of inefficacy or adverse events, although at present it is not possible to predict therapy response accurately.

Aim In the GENESECT study, no significant gemcitabine (GEM) metabolism‐related germline genetic polymorphisms (GPs) were identified because approximately 70% of patients received combination therapy with nab‐paclitaxel, which has metabolic pathways different from GEM.

Abstract Background Regulatory guidance in the United Kingdom advises DPYD genotyping prior to fluoropyrimidine‐based treatment. This economic evaluation estimated the costs and outcomes associated with DPYD screening prior to prescribing fluoropyrimidines for colorectal cancer in Wales and also considers additional variants to those included in ...

Pharmacogenetics of Efavirenz response in Bantu-speaking South African HIV/AIDS patients [PDF]
Includes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 82-96).Efavirenz (EFV) is used in first-line antiretroviral (ARV) therapy of HIV-infected patients, and is principally metabolised by CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP3A4/5 and the drug transporter ...

Pharmacokinetic profiling of imatinib in relation to CYP3A4 activity in leukaemia patients
Aim Imatinib pharmacokinetics exhibit large interindividual variability because of differences in CYP3A4 activity—the main imatinib‐metabolizing enzyme. While therapeutic drug monitoring is effective, it requires steady‐state conditions and frequent sampling.

Atypical functions of xenobiotic receptors in lipid and glucose metabolism
Xenobiotic receptors are traditionally defined as xenobiotic chemical-sensing receptors, the activation of which transcriptionally regulates the expression of enzymes and transporters involved in the metabolism and disposition of xenobiotics.

Aims CYP2C19 is one of the most important pharmacogenes, and its activity is highly variable due to factors such as genetics or drug–drug interactions. Due to the lack of an appropriate endogenous CYP2C19 biomarker, surrogate methods to assess its activity are warranted.
