Implementation Consortium1
PharmGKB provides a page for clinically relevant pharmacogenomic summaries - a list of clinical annotations that contain variant-drug combinations featured in a guideline published by the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) or other medical society, or implemented at a PGRN site or a major health system, such as the Mayo Clinic. (blogspot.com)
Adverse drug reac1
Later, Chen's research focus extends to the pharmacogenetics of adverse drug reactions and drug efficacy. (wikipedia.org)
Genomics4
Most physicians believe they practiced personalized medicine prior to the genomics era that followed the sequencing of the human genome. (ashpublications.org)
The potential of genomics to advance medicine will require integration of personal data that are obtained in the patient history: environmental exposures, diet, social data, etc. (ashpublications.org)
Furthermore, without the ritual of obtaining this information, we will have depersonalized medicine, which lacks the precision needed for the research required to eventually incorporate genomics into routine, optimal, and value-added clinical care. (ashpublications.org)
However, most physicians would argue they practiced highly personalized medicine prior to the pre-2000 genomics era. (ashpublications.org)
Clinical2
More recently, Mary has been recognized by the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, receiving the Rawls Palmer Progress in Medicine Award. (pmwcintl.com)
Aim: A prospective observational study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of implementing clinical guidelines for warfarin dosing in black Zimbabwean patients. (bvsalud.org)
Genetics1
In her doctoral thesis, Laura studied the genetics and pharmacogenetics of the multifactorial ocular disease age-related macular degeneration (AMD). (1library.net)
We build gene-tissue signatures associated with warfarin dose in a cohort-specific manner and identify a signature of 11 gene-tissue pairs that significantly augments the International WarfarinPharmacogenetics Consortium dosage-prediction algorithm in both populations. (biomedcentral.com)
We impute gene expression in specific tissues for each individual using the GTEx compendium [ 11 ] (Fig. 1 ) and learn a signature that is predictive of warfarin dose comprising gene-tissue pairs on a training cohort. (biomedcentral.com)
We demonstrate the utility of the signatures by predicting warfarin dose in individuals of African American (AA) and European (EUR) descent. (biomedcentral.com)
The poster child for pharmacogenetics, for a while, was testing to predict the dose of warfarin needed for patients requiring anticoagulation. (usf.edu)
Populations4
Currently most medicines are produced in Europe and applied without any further testing in SSA populations and might not be optimally effective or cause severe side effects. (cambridge.org)
Since 2006, it has studied ethnicity to apply pharmacogenetics knowledge in autochthonous populations of Latin America, considering ancestral medicine. (bvsalud.org)
The meeting 'Pharmacogenetics: ethnicity, Treatment and Health in Latin American Populations' was held in Mexico City, Mexico, and presented the relevance of RIBEF collaboration with Latin American researchers and the governments of Mexico, Spain and the Autonomous Community of Extremadura. (bvsalud.org)
The results of 17 years of uninterrupted work by RIBEF, the Declaration of Mérida/T'Hó and the call for the Dr José María Cantú Award for studies focused on the pharmacogenetics of native populations in Latin America were presented. (bvsalud.org)
Clinically1
A discussion of how to evaluate the benefits of individualized therapy, and how population differences can complicate this, for warfarin - one of the most important clinically actionable drugs. (nature.com)
These pharmacogenetic researches have prompted the FDA to relabel the two commonly prescribed drugs, carbamazepine and warfarin, with genetic information and to recommend genetic screening before prescribing the medication, and paved the road for personalized and precision medicine. (wikipedia.org)
Precision Pharmacotherapy is combining genetic, environmental, lifestyle, and other unique patient or disease characteristics to guide drug selection and dosage. (pmwcintl.com)
We focus on 116 genes from the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic pathways of warfarin within training and validation sets comprising both European and African-descent individuals. (biomedcentral.com)

Current efforts that focus on the processes required to appropriately act on pharmacogenomic variability in the clinic are moving away from discovery and towards implementation of an evidenced-based strategy for improving the use of medications, thereby providing a cornerstone for precision medicine. (nature.com)
The focus of personalized medicine has been primarily genomic medicine, wherein it is hoped that the nucleotide dissimilarities among different individuals would provide clinicians with more precise understanding of physiology, more refined diagnoses, better disease risk assessment, earlier detection and monitoring, and tailored treatments to the individual patient. (ashpublications.org)
DMPT is an international scientific single-blind peer-review journal, which is issued quarterly with 8-10 articles per issue. (degruyter.com)
