Opportunities and Challenges of Population Pharmacogenomics
ABSTRACT Pharmacological responses can vary significantly among patients from different ethnogeographic backgrounds. This variability can, at least in part, be attributed to population‐specific genetic patterns in genes involved in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, as well as in genes associated with drug‐induced toxicity ...

Embedding Pharmacogenetics Into Clinical Practice to Improve Patient Outcomes
ABSTRACT Pharmacogenomics, the use of germline genomic data to guide prescription to improve effective and safer medication, holds promise as a clinical intervention. To date in most health systems, there has been limited uptake of pharmacogenomic testing confined to a few single drug–gene associations.

Importance of genotyping of Thiopurine S-methyltransferase in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia during maintenance therapy [PDF]
INTRODUCTION Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) is an enzyme that catalyses the inactivation of mercaptopurine (MP) which is widely used in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) of childhood.

Rifampin modulation of xeno- and endobiotic conjugating enzyme mRNA expression and associated microRNAs in human hepatocytes [PDF]
Rifampin is a pleiotropic inducer of multiple drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters. This work utilized a global approach to evaluate rifampin effects on conjugating enzyme gene expression with relevance to human xeno- and endo-biotic metabolism ...

Genotyping of Thiopurine Methyltransferase Using Pyrosequencing
Thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) metabolizes thiopurine drugs which are used in the treatment of leukemia and some autoimmune diseases. Previously, 11 mutant alleles of TPMT gene (TPMT*1S, *2, *3A, *3B, *3C, *3D, *4, *5, *6, *7, and *8) have been reported.
