Pharmacogenomics: candidate gene identification, functional validation and mechanisms.
Pharmacogenetics is the study of the role of inheritance in variation in drug response phenotypes. Those phenotypes can range from life-threatening adverse drugs reactions at one end of the spectrum to equally serious lack of therapeutic efficacy at the other. Over the past half century, pharmacogenetics has--like all of medical genetics--evolved from a discipline with a focus on monogenetic tr...
متن کاملProteasome beta subunit pharmacogenomics: gene resequencing and functional genomics.
PURPOSE The proteasome is a multisubunit cellular organelle that functions as a nonlysosomal threonine protease. Proteasomes play a critical role in the degradation of proteins, regulating a variety of cellular processes, and they are also the target for antineoplastic proteasome inhibitors. Genetic variation in proteasome subunits could influence both proteasome function and response to drug t...
متن کاملHuman estrogen sulfotransferase (SULT1E1) pharmacogenomics: gene resequencing and functional genomics.
1. Estrogens are used as drugs and estrogen exposure is a risk factor for hormone-dependent diseases such as breast cancer. Sulfate conjugation is an important pathway for estrogen metabolism. The sulfotransferase (SULT) enzyme SULT1E1 has the lowest K(m) values for estrogens and catecholestrogens of the 10 known human SULT isoforms. 2. We previously cloned and characterized the human SULT1E1 c...

متن کاملCandidate Gene Identification Approach: Progress and Challenges
Although it has been widely applied in identification of genes responsible for biomedically, economically, or even evolutionarily important complex and quantitative traits, traditional candidate gene approach is largely limited by its reliance on the priori knowledge about the physiological, biochemical or functional aspects of possible candidates. Such limitation results in a fatal information...
