P450 Pharmacogenetics in Indigenous North American Populations
Indigenous North American populations, including American Indian and Alaska Native peoples in the United States, the First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples in Canada and Amerindians in Mexico, are historically under-represented in biomedical research, including genomic research on drug disposition and response. Without adequate representation in pharmacogenetic studies establishing genotype-phe...
متن کاملPharmacogenetics: detecting sensitive populations.
Risk assessment models strive to predict risks to humans from toxic agents. Safety factors and assumptions are incorporated into these models to allow a margin of error. In the case of cancer, substantial evidence shows that the carcinogenic process is a multistage process driven by the interaction of exogenous carcinogenic exposures, genetic traits, and other endogenous factors. Current risk a...
متن کاملHuman Alu insertion polymorphisms in North African populations.
Several features make Alu insertions a powerful tool used in population genetic studies: the polymorphic nature of many Alu insertions, the stability of an Alu insertion event and, furthermore, the ancestral state of an Alu insertion is known to be the absence of the Alu element at a particular locus and the presence of an Alu insertion at the site that forward mutational change. This study ana...
متن کاملNorth African Populations Carry the Signature of Admixture with Neandertals
One of the main findings derived from the analysis of the Neandertal genome was the evidence for admixture between Neandertals and non-African modern humans. An alternative scenario is that the ancestral population of non-Africans was closer to Neandertals than to Africans because of ancient population substructure. Thus, the study of North African populations is crucial for testing both hypoth...
متن کاملThe Metabolism of Antiparasitic Drugs and Pharmacogenetics in African Populations: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Applications
We characterised over 20 antiparasitic drugs with respect to the enzymes responsible for their metabolism. We showed that CYP2C8 is responsible for the metabolism of amodiaquine (ADQ) to desethylamodiaquine and identified a novel reactive metabolite catalysed by extrahepatic CYP1A1 and CYPIB1 which is giving us insights into possible ways of synthesising safer analogues of ADQ. Praziquantel (PZ...
