Molecular mechanisms of genetic polymorphisms of drug metabolism.
One of the major causes of interindividual variation of drug effects is genetic variation of drug metabolism. Genetic polymorphisms of drug-metabolizing enzymes give rise to distinct subgroups in the population that differ in their ability to perform certain drug biotransformation reactions. Polymorphisms are generated by mutations in the genes for these enzymes, which cause decreased, increase...
متن کاملCyp2c19 Polymorphisms in Drug Metabolism and Response
Individuals vary widely in their response to drug treatment. After receiving doses of a drug that are recommended based on a population average, some patients could have an insufficient response, whereas others may experience adverse effects. Of the many factors causing variability in drug response across individuals, genetic polymorphism of drug-metabolizing enzymes is deemed to be one of the ...
متن کاملGenetic factors in drug metabolism.
Patients vary widely in their response to drugs. Having an understanding of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of various medications is importantwhen assessing ethnic differences in drug response. Genetic factors can account for 20 to 95 percent of patient variability. Genetic polymorphisms for many drug-metabolizing enzymes and drug targets (e.g., receptors) have been identifi...
متن کاملGenetic polymorphisms associated with antiepileptic metabolism.
Several factors, including pharmacogenetics, contribute to inter-individual variability in drug response. Many antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are metabolized by a variety of enzymatic reactions, and the cytochrome P450 (CYP) family has attracted considerable attention. Some of the CYPs exist as genetic (allelic) variants, which may also affect the plasma concentrations or drug exposure. Regarding t...
متن کاملGenetic polymorphisms in fatty acid metabolism genes and colorectal cancer.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Epidemiological risk factors for CRC included dietary fat intake; consequently, the role of genes in the fatty acid biosynthesis and metabolism pathways is of particular interest. Moreover, hyperlipidaemia has been associated with different type of cancer and serum lipid levels could be affected by genetic factors, including ...
