Addressing phenoconversion: the Achilles' heel of personalized medicine [PDF]
Phenoconversion is a phenomenon that converts genotypic extensive metabolizers (EMs) into phenotypic poor metabolizers (PMs) of drugs, thereby modifying their clinical response to that of genotypicPMs. Phenoconversion, usually resulting from nongenetic extrinsic factors, has a significant impact on the analysis and interpretation of genotype‐focused ...

Clinical effects of CYP2D6 phenoconversion in patients with psychosis
Background: Pharmacogenetics is considered a promising avenue for improving treatment outcomes, yet evidence arguing for the use of pharmacogenetics in the treatment of psychotic disorders is mixed and clinical usefulness is under debate.

The theoretical problems of “prodrome” and “phenoconversion” in neurodegeneration
2023The recognition of and approach to prodromal symptoms, those which manifest before a diagnosis can be ascertained at the bedside, are of increasing interest in neurodegenerative research. A prodrome is conceived of as an early window into a disease, a critical time when putative disease-modifying interventions may be best suited for examination ...

How to Integrate CYP2D6 Phenoconversion Into Clinical Pharmacogenetics: A Tutorial
Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2021CYP2D6 genotype is increasingly being integrated into practice to guide prescribing of certain medications. The CYP2D6 drug metabolizing enzyme is susceptible to inhibition by concomitant drugs, which can lead to a clinical phenotype that is different from the genotype‐based phenotype, a process referred to as phenoconversion. Phenoconversion is highly

FoxO1 is required for high glucose-dependent cardiac fibroblasts into myofibroblast phenoconversion
Cellular Signalling, 2021In the normal heart, cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) maintain extracellular matrix (ECM) homeostasis, whereas in pathological conditions, such as diabetes mellitus (DM), CFs converse into cardiac myofibroblasts (CMFs) and this CFs phenoconversion increase the synthesis and secretion of ECM proteins, promoting cardiac fibrosis and heart dysfunction.

Phenocopy and Phenoconversion: Do they Complicate Association Studies?
Pharmacogenomics, 2012Current pharmacogenetic focus on genotype A number of clinically relevant drug metabo lizing enzymes (DMEs) are expressed poly morphically in the population, giving rise to at least three distinct genotypes; extensive metabolizers (EMs), poor metabolizers (PMs) and intermediate metabolizers.

Mechanical regulation of myofibroblast phenoconversion and collagen contraction
Experimental Cell Research, 2019Activated fibroblasts promote physiological wound repair following tissue injury. However, dysregulation of fibroblast activation contributes to the development of fibrosis by enhanced production and contraction of collagen-rich extracellular matrix.

Pharmacogenetic guided drug therapy – how to deal with phenoconversion in polypharmacy
The prevalence of polypharmacy and the increasing availability of pharmacogenetic information in clinical practice have raised the prospect of data-driven clinical decision-making when addressing the issues of drug-drug interactions and genetic polymorphisms in metabolizing enzymes.

I01 Unawareness of motor phenoconversion in huntington disease
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2012Background Unawareness of disease manifestations in neurodegenerative diseases has been defined by Flashman et al 2002 as “pathological unawareness of a neurological or functional deficit” and by Antoine et al 2004 as “the discrepancy between the patient9s self report and the report of a natural caregiver or the clinical rating of a health ...
