Abstract Objectives Despite advances in the management of ambulatory paediatric ulcerative colitis (UC), challenges remain as many patients are refractory to therapy and some require colectomy. The aim of these guidelines is to provide an update on optimal care for UC through detailed recommendations and practice points. Methods These guidelines are an

Pharmacogenomics in children: advantages and challenges of next generation sequencing applications [PDF]
Pharmacogenetics is considered as a prime example of how personalized medicine nowadays can be put into practice. However, genotyping to guide pharmacological treatment is relatively uncommon in the routine clinical practice. Several reasons can be found

Understanding the molecular mechanisms of medicines is crucial for developing novel drugs, for repurposing existing medicines, and for predicting toxicities. Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) serves as an exemplary case in personalized medicine, as its activity is influenced by genetic variants, co-factors, substrates, and inhibitors, which lead to

Individualized immunosuppression in transplant patients: potential role of pharmacogenetics. [PDF]
The immunosuppressive drugs used to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs have a narrow therapeutic index. Under treatment results in episodes of rejection leading to either damage or loss of the organ. Over immunosuppression increases the risk of
