P450 Pharmacogenetics in Indigenous North American Populations
نویسندگان
چکیده
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-phenotype relationships, Indigenous populations may not benefit fully from new innovations in precision medicine testing to tailor and improve the safety and efficacy of drug treatment, resulting in health care disparities. The purpose of this review is to summarize and evaluate what is currently known about cytochrome P450 genetic variation in Indigenous populations in North America and to highlight the importance of including these groups in future pharmacogenetic studies for implementation of personalized drug therapy.

Different clinical response of different patients to the same medicine has been recognised and documented since the 1950's. Variability in response of individuals to standard doses of drug therapy is important in clinical practice and can lead to therapeutic failures or adverse drug reactions. Pharmacogenetics seeks to identify individual genetic differences (polymorphisms) in drug absorption, ...

Pharmacogenetics of Antidepressants, A Review of Significant Genetic Variants in Different Populations
Major depressive disorder is a highly prevalent disease that is challenging to treat, often requiring medication and dose adjustments. Genetic factors play an important role in psychotropic medication responses. However, the translation of pharmacogenetics findings to clinical recommendations with regards to antidepressant responses is still in its early stages. We reviewed recent primary resea...
