[ 1 ] - The Microbiome in Precision Medicine: A New Approach to Cancer Treatment

Precision medicine is a new approach in medical sciences aimed at individualizing treatment, reducing adverse drug reactions (ADRs), and decreasing health care costs. Precision medicine is also able to maintain the health of individuals by regulating their composition of microorganisms (microbiota) using specific methods. Microbiota is the total stock of microbial species in different organs of...

[ 2 ] - Diet-Microbiota Interactions: A New Approach to Personalized Nutrition

 Personalized nutrition is a new approach in medical sciences that is based on genetic profile, individual needs, and environmental conditions considering health status and chronic diseases of every person. Studies have shown that genetic differences cannot solely justify various responses to medications and diets, and other important factors including gut microbiota are also involved. Human bo...

[ 3 ] - The importance of personalized medicine in urological cancers

Personalized medicine (PM) refers to a set of medical, diagnostic, and therapeutic activities and approaches based on the specific characteristics of each patient chr ('39')s genome. In fact, individual-centered medical approaches are based on personalization, meaning that each person chr ('39')s gene sequence and polymorphisms (SNPs) are different and explain the different courses of urologica...

[ 4 ] - Pharmacogenomic approach in type 2 diabetes treatment

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is chronic health caused by the interaction between genetic and environmental factors that results in high blood glucose. The evidence-based guidelines for diabetes management are mainly based on lifestyle changes, control of risk factors, and the management of blood glucose levels. Although numerous antidiabetic agents have been developed over time, T2D trea...

[ 5 ] - A Conceptual model on the pharmacogenomics implementation complications: An applied qualitative research based on national drug policy components

Introduction: Pharmacogenomics may well have substantial effects on the clinical, economic and regulatory aspects of health sector; which can lead to complications in access. Therefore, there is a need for evidence-based frameworks based on national drug policy components. The objective of the current study is to identify pharmacogenomics-based complications and develop a conceptual model. Mate...

[ 6 ] - Pharmacogenomics approach in psychiatry disorders

Psychiatric disorders are important health issues in the world, and their management is facing some serious challenges. Drugs that are widely used in the treatment of psychiatric disorders, including antidepressants, antipsychotics, and mood stabilizers, are often associated with many side effects and are adequately effective only in a small proportion of patients. Many factors, including genet...

[ 7 ] - INVESTIGATING THE ROLE OF MTNR1B RS4753426 GENETIC VARIANT IN THE TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS RISK

Background: Type 2 diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a multifactorial, polygenic disease caused by impaired insulin secretion, insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction. Melatonin is a circadian rhythm regulator and any imbalance in its levels can be related to various metabolic disorders. Melatonin and the genetic variants of MTNR1B gene are reported to be associated with T2DM susceptibility. We ...

[ 8 ] - ASSOCIATION ANALYSIS BETWEEN RS10830962 VARIANT OF MTNR1B GENE AND TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS RISK

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most common type of diabetes that was classically characterized by pancreatic β-cell dysfunction. Changes in circadian patterns is one of the reasons which can increase the occurrence of diabetes. Melatonin is one of the biological molecules which plays an important role in regulating the circadian clock and also an inhibitory effect on insulin...
