Pharmacogenomic discovery approaches: will the real genes please stand up?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Genetic inheritance plays a significant role in the interindividual variability of drug response. The field of pharmacogenomics seeks to identify genetic factors that influence drug response, including both those that are inherited and those that arise within tumors, and use this information to improve drug therapy. Candidate gene approaches have led to clinical tests for toxicity avoidance (eg, TPMT, UGT1A1) and efficacy prediction (eg, epidermal growth factor receptor-activating mutations). However, the "right" genes are not known for most anticancer drugs. Strategies for uncovering pharmacogenomic associations vary widely from monogenic candidate gene approaches to polygenic genome-wide approaches. This review will place in context clinically relevant pharmacogenomic discovery approaches, including the relative strengths and weaknesses and the challenges inherent with achieving the goal of individualized therapy.

It is hypothesised that the empirical correlation between facial expression and affective experience varies as a function of the correlational design used to compute the coefficients. Predictions about the rank order of five designs were derived based on two assumptions.

متن کاملCell cycle: Will the real Cdk-activating kinase please stand up
Activation of a cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) requires its association with a cyclin subunit and phosphorylation on a conserved residue by the Cdk-activating kinase (CAK). The discovery in budding yeast of a novel CAK that is structurally distinct from the CAKs of other eukaryotes raises questions about the 'true' CAK.
