Practical Pediatric Pharmacogenetics (Dosing/Reactions/etc)
نویسنده
چکیده
Nothing can put you to sleep faster than a good article on pharmacogenetics. First off it is almost impossible to understand all those words ending with –tide, -ase, etc. that we all learned and immediately forgot when we took our medical boards. Second, it is almost always impossible to figure out the point of the article and how it would actually apply to the actual practice of medicine. Thus, for this discussion I will try to summarize the current literature on this relevant drugs to our practice and present the practical aspects for us as pediatric anesthesiologist.

An antileukemic agent prescribed for pediatric oncology patients during the maintenance phase of therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), is highly influenced by genetic variations in the thiopurine S-methyltransferase enzyme. As such, 6-MP must be dosed so that patients with 1 or 2 inactive thiopurine S-methyltransferase alleles will not incur an increased risk for my...

Although tuberculosis is largely a curable disease, it remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although the standard 6-month treatment regimen is highly effective for drug-susceptible tuberculosis, the use of multiple drugs over long periods of time can cause frequent adverse drug reactions. In addition, some patients with drug-susceptible tuberculosis do not respond adequat...
متن کاملComparison of two different techniques of warfarin dosing determination - A chemometrics study
A high prevalence of genetic polymorphisms increases sensitivity to warfarin therapy. In this study, we investigated 47 patients with effective long-term therapy by warfarin well-controlled by monitoring of International Normalised Ratio (INR). All patients were tested for gene polymorphisms VKORC1, CYP2C9*C2, and CYP2C9*C3, which were used for a dose calculation employing a program www.Warfari...
