Abstract
Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions and play critical roles in human health and disease. Enzyme variants and deficiencies can lead to variable expression of glycans, which can affect physiology, influence predilection for disease, and/or directly contribute to disease pathogenesis. Although certain well-characterized enzyme deficiencies result in overt disease, some of the most common enzyme deficiencies in humans form the basis of blood groups. These carbohydrate blood groups impact fundamental areas of clinical medicine, including the risk of infection and severity of infectious disease, bleeding risk, transfusion medicine, and tissue/organ transplantation. In this review, we examine the enzymes responsible for carbohydrate-based blood group antigen biosynthesis and their expression within the human population. We also consider the evolutionary selective pressures, e.g. malaria, that may account for the variation in carbohydrate structures and the implications of this biology for human disease.

One-Year All-Cause Mortality of Patients Diagnosed as Having In-Hospital Pulmonary Embolism After Modern Elective Joint Arthroplasty Is Low And Unaffected By Radiologic Severity. J Arthroplasty 2016; 31:473-9. [PMID: 26461488 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2015.09.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2015] [Revised: 09/01/2015] [Accepted: 09/09/2015] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We studied the 1-year complication rate of patients diagnosed as having a pulmonary embolism (PE) after elective total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery and the distribution of emboli in the pulmonary circulation, and determined if a relationship exists between the location of the PE and age, gender, body mass index, preoperative predisposing factors, American Society of Anesthesiology classification, type of surgery, prophylaxis, hospital stay, transfer to a higher level of care, and mortality. METHODS Two hundred sixty-nine patients who developed an in-hospital PE proved by computed tomography pulmonary angiography after elective THA or TKA between 2005 and 2012 were studied. RESULTS The most proximal location of the emboli was central in 62, segmental in 139, and subsegmental in 68. Nineteen patients (7%) developed a bleeding complication during PE treatment. Twenty-nine patients (11%) were readmitted during the first year. Two patients (0.74%) died: one had a segmental PE after TKA. He died 11 months after surgery due to an autopsy-proven sepsis. The second patient developed a segmental PE after THA. She was anticoagulated, developed an intracranial bleed, and died 8 months after surgery. Multivariate analysis showed that demographic variables, American Society of Anesthesiology class, preoperative comorbidities (with the exception of arrhythmia), and the presence of preoperative predisposing factors had no effect in the location of the PE. CONCLUSION The 1-year mortality rate of these patients is low. Death can be caused by bleeding complications secondary to anticoagulation or by unrelated conditions. This information may aid clinicians while counseling patients who developed a PE after surgery, particularly those with small subsegmental emboli.

Abstract
AIMS This study characterizes the influence of genotype at two loci on warfarin response after arthroplasty. METHODS 121 postarthroplasty patients given warfarin thromboprophylaxis were reviewed for international normalized ratio (INR) values on the first three days postoperatively. Significant differences among genotypes in INR values on each of the first three postoperative days were assessed. RESULTS Wild-type patients at both loci (∼23% of patients) had yet to reach therapeutic INR (1.5-2.0) by postoperative day three more frequently than those with a mutation conferring hyper-responsiveness (61% vs. 30%; P ≤ .01). CONCLUSIONS Wild-type patients are not anticoagulated in a sufficiently prompt manner after arthroplasty.

Abstract
In the past several years, human genetics studies have progressed from monogenic to complex and common diseases because of the advancement in technologies. There is increased knowledge of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenomics of the drugs in adults as well as in children. These technological developments provided new diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic opportunities. We are now in a position to address many additional ambitious questions. For instance, in clinical medicine, interindividual variation in drug response is a major problem. Some of the heterogeneity of drug safety and efficacy among individuals can be explained by pharmacogenomics. It has also the potential to improve the treatment in both adults and children. In pediatrics however, there is ontogeny and metabolic capacity in children is different compared to adults. Several specific developmental changes may underlie some of the variability in drug response seen in children. They may also be responsible for adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Therefore, much of the diversity in drug effects cannot be explained by studying the genomic diversity alone. It is necessary to include the effect of growth (involves variations in gene expression) along with genetic differences when explaining the variability in treatment response. In this respect epigenomics may expand the scope of pharmacogenomics towards optimization of drug therapy. Future studies must focus on periods of maturation of the drug-metabolizing enzymes and polymorphisms in their genes by using candidate gene approach, gene expression analysis, genome-wide haplotype mapping, and proteomics. The integration of genetic data and clinical phenotypes along with the role of other factors is necessary to evaluate both efficacy and ADRs of any drug. It may require extensive genetic epidemiological studies spanning over many years.

Abstract
The genes encoding the cytochrome P450 2C9 enzyme (CYP2C9) and vitamin K-epoxide reductase complex unit 1 (VKORC1) are major determinants of anticoagulant response to warfarin. Together with patient demographics and clinical information, they account for approximately one-half of the warfarin dose variance in individuals of European descent. Recent prospective and randomized controlled trial data support pharmacogenetic guidance with their use in warfarin dose initiation and titration. Benefits from pharmacogenetics-guided warfarin dosing have been reported to extend beyond the period of initial dosing, with supportive data indicating benefits to at least 3 months. The genetic effects of VKORC1 and CYP2C9 in African and Asian populations are concordant with those in individuals of European ancestry; however, frequency distribution of allelic variants can vary considerably between major populations. Future randomized controlled trials in multiethnic settings using population-specific dosing algorithms will allow us to further ascertain the generalizability and cost-effectiveness of pharmacogenetics-guided warfarin therapy. Additional genome-wide association studies may help us to improve and refine dosing algorithms and potentially identify novel biological pathways.

[PMID: 22952875 PMCID: PMC3430615 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0044064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 118] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2012] [Accepted: 07/30/2012] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Warfarin is a highly effective anticoagulant however its effectiveness relies on maintaining INR in therapeutic range. Finding the correct dose is difficult due to large inter-individual variability. Two genes, CYP2C9 and VKORC1, have been associated with this variability, leading to genotype-guided dosing tables in warfarin labeling. Nonetheless, it remains unclear how genotypic information should be used in practice. Navigating the literature to determine how genotype will influence warfarin response in a particular patient is difficult, due to significant variation in patient ethnicity, outcomes investigated, study design, and methodological rigor. Our systematic review was conducted to enable fair and accurate interpretation of which variants affect which outcomes, in which patients, and to what extent. Methodology/Principal Findings A comprehensive search strategy was applied and 117 studies included. Primary outcomes were stable dose, time to stable dose and bleeding events. Methodological quality was assessed using criteria of Jorgensen and Williamson and data synthesized in meta-analyses using advanced methods. Pooled effect estimates were significant in most ethnic groups for CYP2C9*3 and stable dose (mutant types requiring between 1.1(0.7–1.5) and 2.3 (1.6–3.0)mg/day). Effect estimates were also significant for VKORC1 and stable dose for most ethnicities, although direction differed between asians and non-asians (mutant types requiring between 0.8(0.4–1.3) and 1.5(1.1–1.8)mg/day more in asians and between 1.5(0.7–2.2) and 3.1(2.7–3.6)mg/day less in non-asians). Several studies were excluded due to inadequate data reporting. Assessing study quality highlighted significant variability in methodological rigor. Notably, there was significant evidence of selective reporting, of outcomes and analysis approaches. Conclusions/Significance Genetic associations with warfarin response vary between ethnicities. In order to achieve unbiased estimates in different populations, a high level of methodological rigor must be maintained and studies should report sufficient data to enable inclusion in meta-analyses. We propose minimum reporting requirements, suggest methodological guidelines and provide recommendations for reducing the risk of selective reporting.
