Polymorphisms of UGT1A1*6, UGT1A1*27 & UGT1A1*28 in three major ethnic groups from Malaysia
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Genetic polymorphisms of uridine diphosphate glucuronyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) have been associated with a wide variation of responses among patients prescribed with irinotecan. Lack of this enzyme is known to be associated with a high incidence of severe toxicity. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of three different variants of UGT1A1 (UGT1A...
متن کاملGenetic variations among three major ethnic groups in Nigeria using RAPD
Genetically, every individual is unique; this may stem from inheritance, geographical locations, and/or environmental interactions. This study examined the possibility of developing a cheap and easy-to-use marker that can distinguish among the three ethnic groups in Nigeria using RAPD-PCR. Five RAPD primers, OPA1-3 and OPC1-2, were randomly selected and used to amplify DNA samples isolated from...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Prevalence of adult-type hypolactasia is known to vary among different countries and in different ethnic populations in the same country. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the prevalence of hypolactasia and lactose intolerance in three different ethnic populations living in similar environmental conditions in Malaysia. The correlation between different symptom...
متن کاملFrequency of Cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) Alleles in Three Ethnic Groups in Malaysia
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) is the major enzyme involved in the metabolism of S-warfarin, an oral anticoagulant drug. Genetic polymorphisms of CYP2C9 gene have been reported and may play significant roles in pharmacogenomics. To date, over 5 CYP2C9 allelic variants have been reported. The most common allelic variants identified include CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3. We conducted an investigation to de...
متن کاملProgression of myopia in different ethnic groups in Malaysia.
A cross-sectional study on a normal clinical myopic population reveals that there is a difference in the pattern of myopic progression between Malays and Chinese in Malaysia. It shows that while myopia in Malays stays relatively constant throughout 10 to 50 years of age, myopia in Chinese progresses rapidly from 10 to 20 years of age, after which it starts to show hyperopic shift, reaching a le...
