The Pharmacogene Variation (PharmVar) Consortium: Incorporation of the Human Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Allele Nomenclature Database
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Human Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Allele Nomenclature Database, a critical resource for the pharmacogenetics and genomics communities, has transitioned to the Pharmacogene Variation (PharmVar) Consortium. In this report we provide a summary of the current database, provide an overview of the PharmVar consortium, and highlight the PharmVar database which will serve as the new home for pharmacogene nomenclature.

PharmGKB summary: very important pharmacogene information for RYR1.
CYP1A2 is part of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) family of drug-metabolizing enzymes. The CYP1A2 gene is found in a cluster with CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 on chromosome 15 [1]. CYP1A2 and CYP1A1 share a 5′-flanking region of approximately 23 kb, which contains shared regulatory elements, although the genes are positioned back to back and transcription occurs in opposite directions [2]. The CYP1A2 gene spans...
متن کاملComparison of cytochrome P450 (CYP) genes from the mouse and human genomes, including nomenclature recommendations for genes, pseudogenes and alternative-splice variants.
OBJECTIVES Completion of both the mouse and human genome sequences in the private and public sectors has prompted comparison between the two species at multiple levels. This review summarizes the cytochrome P450 (CYP) gene superfamily. For the first time, we have the ability to compare complete sets of CYP genes from two mammals. Use of the mouse as a model mammal, and as a surrogate for human ...
متن کاملClinical Pharmacogenetics of Cytochrome P450-Associated Drugs in Children
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are commonly involved in drug metabolism, and genetic variation in the genes encoding CYPs are associated with variable drug response. While genotype-guided therapy has been clinically implemented in adults, these associations are less well established for pediatric patients. In order to understand the frequency of pediatric exposures to drugs with known CYP intera...
متن کاملExpression of cytochrome P450 and glutathione S-transferase in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells
Currently several studies are being carried out on various properties of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)however there are a few investigations about drug metabolizing properties of these cells. The aim of thisstudy was to measure the key factors involved in drug metabolism in human bone marrow MSCs. For thispurpose, cellular glutathione (GSH), glutathione Stransferase (GSTs) and...
متن کاملThe roles of cytochrome P450 and P-glycoprotein in the pharmacokinetics of florfenicol in chickens
The effects of three selective oral inhibitors, fluvoxamine (FLU), ketoconazole (KET), and verapamil (VER), on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of florfenicol (FFC) were investigated in chickens. The chickens were administered orally with saline solution (SAL), FLU (60 mg/kg), KET (25 mg/kg), or VER (9 mg/kg) for 7 consecutive days. Florfenicol was given to the chickens at a single dose of 30 mg/kg or...
