Abstract
Alterations in olfactory functions are proposed as possible early biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases. Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases manifest olfactory dysfunction as a symptom, which is worth mentioning. The alterations do not occur in all patients, but they can serve to rule out neurodegenerative pathologies that are not associated with small deficits. Several prevalent neurodegenerative conditions, including impaired smell, arise in the early stages of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, presenting an attractive prospect as a snitch for early diagnosis. This review covers the current knowledge on the link between olfactory deficits and Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. The review also covers the emergence of olfactory receptors as actors in the pathophysiology of these diseases. Olfactory receptors are not exclusively expressed in olfactory sensory neurons. Olfactory receptors are widespread in the human body; they are expressed, among others, in the testicles, lungs, intestines, kidneys, skin, heart, and blood cells. Although information on these ectopically expressed olfactory receptors is limited, they appear to be involved in cell recognition, migration, proliferation, wound healing, apoptosis, and exocytosis. Regarding expression in non-chemosensory regions of the central nervous system (CNS), future research should address the role, in both the glia and neurons, of olfactory receptors. Here, we review the limited but relevant information on the altered expression of olfactory receptor genes in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. By unraveling how olfactory receptor activation is involved in neurodegeneration and identifying links between olfactory structures and neuronal death, valuable information could be gained for early diagnosis and intervention strategies in neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) is a critical hepatic drug-metabolizing enzyme in humans, responsible for metabolizing approximately 20%-25% of commonly used medications such as codeine, desipramine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, and tamoxifen. The CYP2D6 gene is highly polymorphic, resulting in substantial interindividual variability in its catalytic function and the pharmacokinetics and therapeutic outcomes of its substrate drugs. Although many functional CYP2D6 variants have been discovered and validated, a significant portion of the variability in the expression and activity of CYP2D6 remains unexplained. In this study, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify novel variants associated with CYP2D6 protein expression in individual human livers, followed by a conditional analysis to control for the effect of functional CYP2D6 star alleles. We also examined their impact on hepatic CYP2D6 activity. Genotyping on a genome-wide scale was achieved using the Illumina Multi-Ethnic Genotyping Array (MEGA). A data-independent acquisition (DIA)-based proteomics method was used to quantify CYP2D6 protein concentrations. CYP2D6 activity was determined by measuring the dextromethorphan O-demethylation in individual human liver s9 fractions. The GWAS identified 44 single nuclear polymorphisms (SNPs) that are significantly associated with CYP2D6 protein expressions with a P value threshold of 5.0 × 10-7 After the conditional analysis, five SNPs, including the cis-variants rs1807493 and rs1062753 and the trans-variants rs4073010, rs729559, and rs80274432, emerged as independent variants significantly correlated with hepatic CYP2D6 protein expressions. Notably, four of these SNPs, except for rs80274432, also exhibited a significant association with CYP2D6 activities in human livers, suggesting their potential as novel and independent cis- and trans-variants regulating CYP2D6. SIGNIFICANT STATEMENT: Using individual human livers, we identified four novel cis- and trans-pQTLs/aQTLs (protein quantitative trait loci/activity quantitative trait loci) of Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) that are independent from known functional CYP2D6 star alleles. This study connects the CYP2D6 gene expression and activity, enhancing our understanding of the genetic variants associated with CYP2D6 protein expression and activity, potentially advancing our insight into the interindividual variability in CYP2D6 substrate medication response.

Abstract
My research focused on the effects of various drugs on (1) dopamine formation from p-tyramine catalyzed by polymorphic cytochrome P450 (CYP or P450) 2D6 variants and (2) endogenous steroid hormone hydroxylation catalyzed by CYP3A subfamily members (CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP3A7). The activation (cooperativity) of metabolic reactions catalyzed by P450s was especially emphasized. The effects of various psychotropic agents on dopamine formation from p-tyramine, catalyzed by wild-type CYP2D6.1 and CYP2D6 variants, including CYP2D6.2 (Arg296Cys;Ser486Thr), CYP2D6.10 (Pro34Ser;Ser486Thr), and CYP2D6.39 (Ser486Thr) were compared. Michaelis (Km) and inhibition (Ki) constants of the psychotropic agents in the presence of CYP2D6.10 were higher than those observed in the presence of other CYP2D6 variants. Fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, milnacipran, and haloperidol activated CYP2D6-catalyzed dopamine formation [decreasing the Km and/or increasing the maximal velocity (kcat)], and this activation was CYP2D6 variant-dependent. Regarding the CYP3A subfamily, the effects of various compounds including endogenous steroid hormones on the 6β-hydroxylation of steroid hormones, such as testosterone, progesterone, and cortisol, were determined; it was found that testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone, and/or α-naphthoflavone activated 6β-hydroxylation of cortisol and/or progesterone, but the effects varied in the presence of different CYP3A subfamily members. Further studies are required to confirm the mechanisms and therapeutic relevance of these activation phenomena.

Abstract
Genetic and environmental factors lead to the manifestation of Parkinson's disease (PD) but related mechanisms are only rudimentarily understood. Cytochromes P450 (P450s) are involved in the biotransformation of toxic compounds and in many physiological processes and thus predestinated to be involved in PD. However, so far only SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) in CYP2D6 and CYP2E1 have been associated with the susceptibility of PD. Our aim was to evaluate the role of all 57 human P450s and their redox partners for the etiology and pathophysiology of PD and to identify novel potential players which may lead to the identification of new biomarkers and to a causative treatment of PD. The PPMI (Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative) database was used to extract the gene sequences of all 57 P450s and their three redox partners to analyze the association of SNPs with the occurrence of PD. Applying statistical analyses of the data, corresponding odds ratios (OR) and confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. We identified SNPs significantly over-represented in patients with a genetic predisposition for PD (GPD patients) or in idiopathic PD (IPD patients) compared to HC (healthy controls). Xenobiotic-metabolizing P450s show a significant accumulation of SNPs in PD patients compared with HC supporting the role of toxic compounds in the pathogenesis of PD. Moreover, SNPs with high OR values (>5) in P450s catalyzing the degradation of cholesterol (CYP46A1, CY7B1, CYP39A1) indicate a prominent role of cholesterol metabolism in the brain for PD risk. Finally, P450s participating in the metabolism of eicosanoids show a strong over-representation of SNPs in PD patients underlining the effect of inflammation on the pathogenesis of PD. Also, the redox partners of P450 show SNPs with OR > 5 in PD patients. Taken together, we demonstrate that SNPs in 26 out of 57 P450s are at least 5-fold over-represented in PD patients suggesting these P450s as new potential players in the pathogenesis of PD. For the first time exceptionally high OR values (up to 12.9) were found. This will lead to deeper insight into the origin and development of PD and may be applied to develop novel strategies for a causative treatment of this disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess CYP2D6 genotype prevalence in chronic pain patients treated with tramadol or codeine. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING General hospital, pain management unit. SUBJECTS Patients with chronic pain, treated with codeine or tramadol. METHODS Patients' pain was assessed at baseline (numeric rating scale [NRS]; 0-10). Prescription of codeine or tramadol was selected randomly. The assessment of patients' response to the drug in terms of pain relief and adverse effects was performed after 24 hours. Reduction of pain intensity of >50% or an NRS <4 was considered a positive response. Patients' blood samples were collected during the first visit. Genotyping for the common variants CYP2D6 *2, *3, *4, *5, *6, *9, *10, *14, and *17 was performed, and alleles not carrying any polymorphic allele were classified as CYP2D6*1 (wild-type [wt]). RESULTS Seventy-six consecutive patients were studied (20 males, 56 females), aged 21-85 years. Thirty-four received tramadol and 42 codeine. The main genotypes of CYP2D6 identified were the wt/wt (35.5%), the *4/wt (17.1%), and the *6/wt (10.5%). Adverse effects were common, especially in carriers of *9/*9, *5/*5, *5/*4, and *10/*10, as well as in variants including the 4 allele (*4/*1 [38.4%] and *4/*4 [42.8%]). CONCLUSIONS Genotyping can facilitate personalized pain management with opioids, as specific alleles are related to decreased efficacy and adverse effects.

Abstract
The CYP2D subfamily catalyses the metabolism of about 25% of prescribed drugs, including the majority of antidepressants and antipsychotics. At present, the mechanism of hepatic CYP2D regulation remains largely unknown. This study investigated the role of sex steroid hormones in CYP2D regulation. For this purpose, Cyp2d22 expression was assessed in the distinct phases of the estrous cycle of normocyclic C57BL/6J (WT) female mice. Cyp2d22 was also evaluated in ovariectomised WT and CYP2D6-humanized (hCYP2D6) mice that received hormonal supplementation with either 17β-estradiol (E2) and/or progesterone. Comparisons were also made to male mice. The data revealed that hepatic Cyp2d22 mRNA, protein and activity levels were higher at estrous compared to the other phases of the estrous cycle and that ovariectomy repressed Cyp2d22 expression in WT mice. Tamoxifen, an anti-estrogenic compound, also repressed hepatic Cyp2d22 via activation of GH/STAT5b and PI3k/AKT signaling pathways. Both hormones prevented the ovariectomy-mediated Cyp2d22 repression. In case of progesterone, this may be mediated by inhibition of the PI3k/AKT/FOX01 pathway. Notably, Cyp2d22 mRNA levels in WT males were similar to those in ovariectomised mice and were markedly lower compared to females at estrous, a differentiation potentially regulated by the GH/STAT5b pathway. Sex steroid hormone-related alterations in Cyp2d22 mRNA expression were highly correlated with Hnf1a mRNA. Interestingly, fluctuations in Cyp2d22 in hippocampus and cerebellum followed those in liver. In contrast to WT mice, ovariectomy induced hepatic CYP2D6 expression in hCYP2D6 mice, whereas E2 and/or progesterone prevented this induction. Apparently, sex steroid hormones display a significant gender- and species-specific role in the regulation of CYP2D.

Abstract
CYP2D6-mediated drug metabolism exhibits large interindividual variability. Although genetic variations in the CYP2D6 gene are well known contributors to the variability, the sources of CYP2D6 variability in individuals of the same genotype remain unexplained. Accumulating data indicate that transcriptional regulation of CYP2D6 may account for part of CYP2D6 variability. Yet, our understanding of factors governing transcriptional regulation of CYP2D6 is limited. Recently, mechanistic studies of increased CYP2D6-mediated drug metabolism in pregnancy revealed two transcription factors, small heterodimer partner (SHP) and Krüppel-like factor 9, as a transcriptional repressor and an activator, respectively, of CYP2D6. Chemicals that increase SHP expression (e.g., retinoids and activators of farnesoid X receptor) were shown to downregulate CYP2D6 expression in the humanized mice as well as in human hepatocytes. This review summarizes the series of studies on the transcriptional regulation of CYP2D6 expression, potentially providing a basis to better understand the large interindividual variability in CYP2D6-mediated drug metabolism.

Abstract
Human organism is constantly exposed to harmful exogenous factors (xenobiotics) including drugs and carcinogenic compounds that can induce development of a large number of diseases. The processes of biotransformation in the organism are multidirectional and xenobiotics can be transformed into active or inactive metabolites via the oxidative route. The knowledge of oxidation polymorphism in the course of systemic lupus erythematosus and systemic sclerosis may be helpful in choosing more efficient and safer therapy, particularly in the case of a disease involving various organs and treated with drugs belonging to diverse therapeutic groups. The aim of the study was to evaluate the CYP2D6 polymorphism in the SLE (systemic lupus erythematosus) and SSc (systemic sclerosis) patients and to investigate a possible correlation with disease susceptibility. The study was carried out in 296 patients: 65 patients with SLE, 81 patients with SSc, and 150 healthy volunteers. The CYP2D6 genotypes were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. The relative risk of developing SSc, expressed by the odds ratio, was three-fold higher for persons with the CYP2D6*1/CYP2D6*4 genotype (OR = 2.9; statistically significant difference, p = 0.0002). A statistically significant correlation between the CYP2D6*4 allele prevalence and the risk for developing SSc was found (OR = 1.53; p = 0.047). No effect of the CYP2D6 gene mutations on the incidence of SLE was noted. The obtained results may suggest the influence of CYP2D6*4 gene variants alleles on increased incidence of systemic sclerosis.

Abstract
We have recently reported that transactivation of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 promoter by hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF) 4α is enhanced during pregnancy, and this is triggered in part by altered expression of small heterodimer partner (SHP) and Krüppel-like factor 9 (KLF9). The objective of this study is to determine whether this is conserved for mouse endogenous Cyp2d gene(s). Among the eight Cyp2d homologs of mouse we examined, only Cyp2d40 expression was found induced (by 6-fold) at term pregnancy as compared to pre-pregnancy level. In mice where hepatic Hnf4α was knocked-down, the pregnancy-mediated increase in Cyp2d40 expression was abrogated. Results from transient transfection, promoter reporter assays, and electrophoretic mobility shift assays indicated that HNF4α transactivates Cyp2d40 promoter via direct binding to -117/-105 of the gene. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay showed a 2.3-fold increase in HNF4α recruitment to Cyp2d40 promoter during pregnancy. Results from mice treated with an SHP inducer (i.e., GW4064) and HepG2 cells co-transfected with KLF9 suggest that neither SHP nor KLF9 is involved in the increased HNF4α transactivation of Cyp2d40 promoter during pregnancy. Together, our results indicate that while the underlying molecular mechanism is different from that for CYP2D6, Cyp2d40 is induced during pregnancy through enhanced transactivation by HNF4α.

Abstract
AIM The impact of CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 polymorphism on the steady-state plasma concentrations and therapeutic outcome of donepezil monotherapy and combination therapy in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. METHODS A total of 38 patients for donepezil and 17 patients for donepezil and memantine therapy, aged ≥ 55 years, were recruited meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism was performed. The liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was used for estimation of drug levels of donepezil and memantine. RESULTS Significant allele frequency was observed for CYP2D6*3 polymorphism in patients on donepezil monotherapy and combination therapy. Significant allele frequency for CYP2D6*4 was observed in the patients on donepezil monotherapy. CONCLUSION CYP2D6 polymorphism, though not significant, might partially be involved in the plasma concentration of AD drug.

Abstract
Heavy metals, various pesticide and herbicides are implicated as risk factors for human health. Paraquat, maneb, and rotenone, carbamate, and organophosphorous insecticides are examples of toxicants for which acute and chronic exposure are associated with multiple neurological disorders including Parkinson’s disease. Nevertheless, the role of pesticide exposure in neurodegenerative diseases is not clear-cut, as there are inconsistencies in both the epidemiological and preclinical research. The aim of this short review is to show that at least, some of the inconsistencies are related to individual differences in susceptibility to the effects of neurotoxicants, individual differences that can be traced to the genetic constitution of the individuals and animals studies, i.e., host-based susceptibility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CYP1A1 and CYP2D6 are important genes encoding enzymes involved in the metabolism of toxic chemicals and carcinogens. However, inconclusive results for the association between CYP1A1 and CYP2D6 polymorphisms and the risk of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) have been reported. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the association of CYP1A1 and CYP2D6 polymorphisms with the risk of HNSCC. METHODS A database search yielded 19 relevant studies. 3 polymorphisms were included in the meta-analysis: CYP1A1, CYP2D6*4 and CYP2D6*10. Random or fixed effect models were used in the analysis. RESULTS The CYP1A1 polymorphism was associated with HNSCC (for m1m1 vs. m1m2: odds ratio (OR) = 1.26, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.030-1.542, pheterogeneity = 0.025; for the recessive model: OR = 1.316, 95% CI = 1.065-1.625, pheterogeneity = 0.001). The analysis showed evidence for association between the CYP2D6*4 polymorphism and HNSCC in Asian populations; however, negative results were also observed in other models. A significant association was also observed between CYP2D6*10 polymorphism and HNSCC risk. CONCLUSIONS The current study demonstrates that the CYP1A1 and CYP2D6 polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to both development and progression of HNSCC.

Significance of the genetic polymorphism of CYP2D6 and NAT2 in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases. Pharmacol Rep 2014; 66:686-90.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main types of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). There is evidence that, in addition to immunological and environmental factors, genetic factors also play an important role in the pathogenesis of IBD. Determination of polymorphism of CYP2D6 and NAT2 genes encoding I and II phase enzymes of xenobiotic biotransformation may have clinical value as an indicator of individual predisposition to diseases, and also contribute to effective and safe pharmacotherapy. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between genetic polymorphism of CYP2D6 and NAT2 and the incidence of IBD, including UC and CD, among inhabitants of central Poland. METHODS The study was performed in 258 individuals from central Poland (115 patients with IBD, including 65 patients with UC and 50 with CD; and in 143 healthy controls). The CYP2D6 genotypes of oxidation and NAT2 genotypes of acetylation were analyzed using the PCR-RFLP method. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in the frequency of the CYP2D6 genotypes and alleles in patients with IBD, UC and CD in comparison with the control group. The relative risk (OR) of IBD, UC and CD was higher in carriers of the allele NAT2*7 and was OR=3.49 (p=0.0019), OR=3.86 (p=0.0019), and OR=3.02 (p=0.0247), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Polymorphism of the gene encoding CYP2D6 does not affect the incidence of inflammatory bowel diseases. The carriers of the NAT2*7 allele which determines slow acetylation may be more predisposed to inflammatory bowel diseases, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

Abstract
Background Many epidemiological studies have been conducted to explore the association between a single CYP2D6 gene polymorphism and Parkinson’s disease (PD) susceptibility. However, the results remain controversial. Objectives To clarify the effects of a single CYP2D6 gene polymorphism on the risk of PD, a meta-analysis of all available studies relating to CYP2D6*4 polymorphism and the risk of PD was conducted. Methods A comprehensive literature search of PubMed, EMBASE, and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) up to September 1, 2013 was conducted. Data were extracted by two independent authors and pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. Meta-regression, Galbraith plots, subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis, and publication bias analysis were also performed. Results Twenty-two separate comparisons consisting of 2,629 patients and 3,601 controls were included in our meta-analysis. The pooled analyses showed a significant association between CYP2D6*4G/A polymorphism and PD risk in all of the comparisons (A vs. G allele: OR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.14–1.43, P = 0.001; AA vs. GG: OR = 1.43, 95% CI = 1.06–1.93, P = 0.018; AG vs. GG: OR = 1.22, 95% CI = 1.06–1.40, P = 0.006; AG+AA vs. GG: OR = 1.26, 95% CI = 1.10–1.44, P = 0.001; AA vs. AG+GG: OR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.02–1.83, P = 0.036). In subgroup analysis stratified by ethnicity, significant associations were also demonstrated in Caucasians but not in Asians. No significant association was found in subgroup analysis stratified by age of onset or disease form. Conclusions We concluded that the CYP2D6*4G/A polymorphism denotes an increased genetic susceptibility to PD in the overall population, especially in Caucasians. Further large and well-designed studies are needed to confirm this association.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bullous skin diseases, which include, among others pemphigoid, pemphigus, and dermatitis herpetiformis are classified as severe autoimmune dermatoses. It has been shown that a pattern of xenobiotic metabolism may play a role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. AIM To estimate whether the CYP2D6 genotype may be considered a predisposing factor in autoimmune bullous diseases induction. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 72 patients with autoimmune bullous diseases: 37 with pemphigoid, 21 with pemphigus, and 14 with dermatitis herpetiformis (DH). The CYP2D6 genotypes were analyzed by the polymerase chain reaction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. RESULTS Relative risk of DH development for particular genotype carriers expressed by odds ratio (OR) was statistically significantly higher for subjects with CYP2D6*1/CYP2D6*4 (OR = 4.2; p = 0.0104) and 2-fold higher for subjects with CYP2D6*4 (OR = 2.3; p = 0.0351). CONCLUSIONS The results of the present study show that the CYP2D6 oxidation polymorphism cannot be considered a risk factor for development of pemphigoid and pemphigus, however it might have an impact on dermatitis herpetiformis.

Abstract
Perhaps one of the most important questions posed by the neurobiology of aging concerns the pathogenic mechanisms in Parkinson's disease (PD). Recently, it was suggested that exposure to pesticides could be the main cause of PD. Another study reported that the environmental endotoxin, lipopolysaccaride produced by Salmonella minnesota, might be a risk factor for PD. An alternative explanation is the genetic component, which has been suggested to be an important risk factor. Epidemiological studies have identified a positive family history of Parkinson as one of the most important risk factors for the disease. However, these studies neither examined nor reviewed the medical records of the family members. The twin study stated that the major factors in the etiology of PD are non-genetic. Meanwhile, epidemiological studies from China have shown that the prevalence of PD is much lower than in the Caucasian population, explained by the low frequency of cytochrome P-450 CYP2D6 debrisoquine hydroxylase gene polymorphism. The etiology of idiopathic PD is still a question for scientists, and calls for further research, especially with the growing proportion of elderly and the rising incidence of PD worldwide. Future research for PD risk factors should consider that multiple interactions occur in PD, resulting in a complex trait, which includes genetic, acquired, and environmental components.

Abstract
The present review update the relationship between acetaldehyde (ACE) and parkinsonism with a specific focus on the role of P450 system and CYP 2E1 isozyme particularly. We have indicated that ACE is able to enhance the parkinsonism induced in mice by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, a neurotoxin able to damage the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway. Similarly diethyldithiocarbamate, the main metabolite of disulfiram, a drug widely used to control alcoholism, diallylsulfide (DAS) and phenylisothiocyanate also markedly enhance the toxin-related parkinsonism. All these compounds are substrate/inhibitors of CYP450 2E1 isozyme. The presence of CYP 2E1 has been detected in the dopamine (DA) neurons of rodent Substantia Nigra (SN), but a precise function of the enzyme has not been elucidated yet. By treating CYP 2E1 knockout (KO) mice with the neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, the SN induced lesion was significantly reduced when compared with the lesion observed in wild-type animals. Several in vivo and in vitro studies led to the conclusion that CYP 2E1 may enhance the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine toxicity in mice by increasing free radical production inside the dopaminergic neurons. ACE is a good substrate for CYP 2E1 enzyme as the other substrate-inhibitors and by this way may facilitate the susceptibility of dopaminergic neurons to toxic events. The literature suggests that ethanol and/or disulfiram may be responsible for toxic parkinsonism in human and it indicates that basal ganglia are the major targets of disulfiram toxicity. A very recent study reports that there are a decreased methylation of the CYP 2E1 gene and increased expression of CYP 2E1 mRNA in Parkinson's disease (PD) patient brains. This study suggests that epigenetic variants of this cytochrome contribute to the susceptibility, thus confirming multiples lines of evidence which indicate a link between environmental toxins and PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is known that there is a genetic predisposition to OSAHS. Polymorphisms of the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) 2A/2C receptors (5-HTR 2A/2C) genes and 5-HT transporter (5-HTT) gene may be associated with the pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). OBJECTIVES In this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of polymorphisms of the 5-HTR 2A/2C genes and the 5-HTT gene in the Chinese Han OSAHS population. METHODS A total of 226 unrelated subjects of the Chinese Han population, including 121 OSAHS patients and 105 healthy controls, were involved in the study. The A1438G and T102C polymorphisms of the 5-HTR 2A gene, G796C polymorphisms of the 5-HTR 2C gene, and two polymorphisms (gene-linked polymorphic region [LPR] and variable number tandem repeat [VNTR]) of the 5-HTT gene were identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-RFLP. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the OSAHS group had significantly higher AA genotype and A allele frequencies in the A1438G polymorphisms of the 5-HTR 2A gene, and had significantly higher frequencies of 10/10, 12/10 genotypes and the allele 10 of 5-HTT-VNTR. There were no significant differences between the genotype distribution and allele frequencies of the OSAHS group and the control group regarding the T102C polymorphisms of the 5-HTR 2A gene and the G796C polymorphisms of the 5-HTR 2C gene, the frequencies of the S or L allele and the S/S, S/L or L/L genotypes in 5-HTT-LPR. CONCLUSIONS The A1438G polymorphism of the 5-HTR 2A gene might be involved in the pathogenesis in OSAHS subjects of the Chinese Han population. Meanwhile, our findings support the argument that 5-HTT polymorphism appears to be associated with susceptibility to OSAHS, because the allele 10 of 5-HTT-VNTR might be a susceptible factor.

Abstract
1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) is a neurotoxic side product formed in the chemical synthesis of desmethylprodine opioid analgesic, which induces Parkinson disease. Monoamine oxidase B, present in the mitochondrial outer membrane of glial cells, catalyzes the oxidation of MPTP to the toxic 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP(+)), which then targets the dopaminergic neurons causing neuronal death. Here, we demonstrate that mitochondrion-targeted human cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6), supported by mitochondrial adrenodoxin and adrenodoxin reductase, can efficiently catalyze the metabolism of MPTP to MPP(+), as shown with purified enzymes and also in cells expressing mitochondrial CYP2D6. Neuro-2A cells stably expressing predominantly mitochondrion-targeted CYP2D6 were more sensitive to MPTP-mediated mitochondrial respiratory dysfunction and complex I inhibition than cells expressing predominantly endoplasmic reticulum-targeted CYP2D6. Mitochondrial CYP2D6 expressing Neuro-2A cells produced higher levels of reactive oxygen species and showed abnormal mitochondrial structures. MPTP treatment also induced mitochondrial translocation of an autophagic marker, Parkin, and a mitochondrial fission marker, Drp1, in differentiated neurons expressing mitochondrial CYP2D6. MPTP-mediated toxicity in primary dopaminergic neurons was attenuated by CYP2D6 inhibitor, quinidine, and also partly by monoamine oxidase B inhibitors deprenyl and pargyline. These studies show for the first time that dopaminergic neurons expressing mitochondrial CYP2D6 are fully capable of activating the pro-neurotoxin MPTP and inducing neuronal damage, which is effectively prevented by the CYP2D6 inhibitor quinidine.

Abstract
Disease gene prioritization aims to suggest potential implications of genes in disease susceptibility. Often accomplished in a guilt-by-association scheme, promising candidates are sorted according to their relatedness to known disease genes. Network-based methods have been successfully exploiting this concept by capturing the interaction of genes or proteins into a score. Nonetheless, most current approaches yield at least some of the following limitations: (1) networks comprise only curated physical interactions leading to poor genome coverage and density, and bias toward a particular source; (2) scores focus on adjacencies (direct links) or the most direct paths (shortest paths) within a constrained neighborhood around the disease genes, ignoring potentially informative indirect paths; (3) global clustering is widely applied to partition the network in an unsupervised manner, attributing little importance to prior knowledge; (4) confidence weights and their contribution to edge differentiation and ranking reliability are often disregarded. We hypothesize that network-based prioritization related to local clustering on graphs and considering full topology of weighted gene association networks integrating heterogeneous sources should overcome the above challenges. We term such a strategy Interactogeneous. We conducted cross-validation tests to assess the impact of network sources, alternative path inclusion and confidence weights on the prioritization of putative genes for 29 diseases. Heat diffusion ranking proved the best prioritization method overall, increasing the gap to neighborhood and shortest paths scores mostly on single source networks. Heterogeneous associations consistently delivered superior performance over single source data across the majority of methods. Results on the contribution of confidence weights were inconclusive. Finally, the best Interactogeneous strategy, heat diffusion ranking and associations from the STRING database, was used to prioritize genes for Parkinson’s disease. This method effectively recovered known genes and uncovered interesting candidates which could be linked to pathogenic mechanisms of the disease.

Abstract
Interactions between genetic factors and environmental exposures are thought to be major contributors to the etiology of Parkinson's disease. While such interactions are poorly defined and incompletely understood, recent epidemiological studies have identified specific interactions of potential importance to human PD. In this review, the most current data on gene-environment interactions in PD from human studies are critically discussed. Animal models have also highlighted the importance of genetic susceptibility to toxicant exposure and data of potential relevance to human PD are discussed. Goals and needs for the future of the field are proposed.

Abstract
Olfactory dysfunction is an early 'pre-clinical' sign of Parkinson's disease (PD). The present review is a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of such dysfunction in PD and related disorders. The olfactory bulb is implicated in the dysfunction, since only those syndromes with olfactory bulb pathology exhibit significant smell loss. The role of dopamine in the production of olfactory system pathology is enigmatic, as overexpression of dopaminergic cells within the bulb's glomerular layer is a common feature of PD and most animal models of PD. Damage to cholinergic, serotonergic, and noradrenergic systems is likely involved, since such damage is most marked in those diseases with the most smell loss. When compromised, these systems, which regulate microglial activity, can influence the induction of localized brain inflammation, oxidative damage, and cytosolic disruption of cellular processes. In monogenetic forms of PD, olfactory dysfunction is rarely observed in asymptomatic gene carriers, but is present in many of those that exhibit the motor phenotype. This suggests that such gene-related influences on olfaction, when present, take time to develop and depend upon additional factors, such as those from aging, other genes, formation of α-synuclein- and tau-related pathology, or lowered thresholds to oxidative stress from toxic insults. The limited data available suggest that the physiological determinants of the early changes in PD-related olfactory function are likely multifactorial and may include the same determinants as those responsible for a number of other non-motor symptoms of PD, such as dysautonomia and sleep disturbances.

Abstract
A strong association between polymorphisms of the cytochrome P450 (CYP/Cyp) 2D6 gene and risk to Parkinson's disease (PD) is well established. The present study investigated the neuroprotective potential of Cyp2d22, a mouse ortholog of human CYP2D6, in maneb- and paraquat-induced parkinsonism and the mechanisms involved therein along with the effects of resveratrol on various parameters associated with Cyp2d22-mediated neuroprotection. The animals were treated intraperitoneally with resveratrol (10mg/kg, daily) and paraquat (10mg/kg) alone or in combination with maneb (30 mg/kg), twice a week, for 9 weeks, along with their respective controls. The subsets of animals were also treated intraperitoneally with a Cyp2d22 inhibitor, ketoconazole (100mg/kg, daily). Maneb and paraquat reduced Cyp2d22 and vesicular monoamine transporter type 2 (VMAT-2) expressions, the number of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive cells, and dopamine content and increased paraquat accumulation in the nigrostriatal tissues, oxidative stress, microglial activation, neuroinflammation, and apoptosis. Cyp2d22 inhibitor significantly exacerbated all these neurodegenerative indexes. Resveratrol cotreatment, partially but significantly, ameliorated the neurodegenerative changes by altering Cyp2d22 expression and paraquat accumulation. The results obtained in the study demonstrate that Cyp2d22 offers neuroprotection in maneb- and paraquat-induced dopaminergic neurodegeneration and resveratrol enhances its neuroprotective credentials by influencing Cyp2d22 expression and paraquat accumulation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex, multifactor autoimmune disease. The studies on aetiopathogenesis of autoimmune diseases focus on the impact the genetically conditioned impairment of xenobiotic metabolism may exert. The knowledge of oxidation polymorphism in the course of SLE may be helpful in choosing more efficient and safer therapy. We determined whether there was an association between susceptibility to SLE and particularly to CYP2D6 genotypes. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was carried out in 60 patients with SLE and 129 healthy volunteers and all the subjects were of Polish origin. The samples were analysed for two major defective alles for CYP2D6 - CYP2D6*3 and CYP2D6*4 and one wild -type allele CYP2D6*1-by the polymerase chain reaction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) metod with DNA extracted from peripheral blood. RESULTS No statistically significant differences in the incidence of CYP2D6 genotypes between the studied groups were found (p = 0.615). Risk (OR) of SLE development was 1.03 for the carriers of CYP2D6*3 allele and 1.48 for the subjects with CYP2D6*4 allele; but it was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS Increased occurrence of mutant alleles of the CYP2D6 gene in SLE patients and the calculated OR values could suggest the effect of these mutations on increased SLE development.

Dopamine and paraquat enhance α-synuclein-induced alterations in membrane conductance. Neurotox Res 2011; 20:387-401.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that α-synuclein overexpression increases the membrane conductance of dopaminergic-like cells. Although α-synuclein is thought to play a central role in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, and diffuse Lewy body disease, the mechanism of action is not completely understood. In this study, we sought to determine whether multiple factors act together with α-synuclein to engender cell vulnerability through an augmentation of membrane conductance. In this article, we employed a cell model that mimics dopaminergic neurons coupled with α-synuclein overexpression and oxidative stressors. We demonstrate an enhancement of α-synuclein-induced toxicity in the presence of combined treatment with dopamine and paraquat, two molecules known to incite oxidative stress. In addition, we show that combined dopamine and paraquat treatment increases the expression of heme oxygenase-1, an antioxidant response protein. Finally, we demonstrate for the first time that combined treatment of dopaminergic cells with paraquat and dopamine enhances α-synuclein-induced leak channel properties resulting in increased membrane conductance. Importantly, these increases are most robust when both paraquat and dopamine are present suggesting the need for multiple oxidative insults to augment α-synuclein-induced disruption of membrane integrity.

Abstract
Although the frequencies of CYP2D6 nonfunctional alleles have been extensively studied in most populations worldwide, limited information is available for those of the Iranian population. The present study aimed to determine the frequency of three CYP2D6 nonfunctional alleles (CYP2D6*3, *4, and *6) in the Mazandarani ethnic group among the Iranian population. A total of 100 unrelated healthy subjects living in Mazandaran, a Caspian province in the north of Iran, were selected. Lymphocytic genomic DNA was genotyped by a polymerase chain reaction amplification method for detection of three nonfunctional alleles. Finally, the obtained data were used to determine the frequencies of the three alleles, and the results were compared with published data from other populations. The frequencies for CYP2D6 alleles *3, *4, and *6 were 0.5%, 9%, and 0.5%, respectively. Homozygous or compound heterozygous genotypes that predict poor metabolizer phenotype, that is, *4/*4 or *4/*6, were not found in this study. The result of the present study showed that CYP2D6*4 is the major nonfunctional allele found in Mazandarani subjects. In addition, the three inactive alleles of CYP2D6 accounted for 10% of CYP2D6 alleles in our sample versus 0.2%-25.2% reported in other populations. The frequencies of the studied alleles resulted in significant differences between our sample and East Asians, Black-Tanzanians, Saudi Arabians, and Caucasians.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) consists of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, both of which are associated with increased colorectal cancer risk. The relationship between genetically determined polymorphic metabolism of exogenous substances by oxidation catalyzed by CYP2D6 isoenzyme and susceptibility to cancer has aroused great interest. We determined whether there was an association between susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease and particularly to CYP2D6 genotypes. The study was carried out in 39 patients with IBD. The control group consisted of 129 healthy volunteers. The CYP2D6 genotypes were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method with DNA extracted from peripheral blood. Among 39 patients with inflammatory bowel disease, extensive metabolizer (EM) genotype constituted 97.4%. One patient (2.6%) was poor metabolizer with CYP2D6*4/CYP2D6*4 genotype. Results obtained in the inflammatory bowel disease group did not differ significantly from those of the control group. Although the odds ratio for EM metabolizers was about 3.8-fold greater in the group of patients with inflammatory bowel disease, this association was not statistically significant. This data also showed no overall statistically significant association between alleles and incidence risk of inflammatory bowel disease [odds ratio (OR) of 1.36 for CYP2D6*1 allele, 0.83 for CYP2D6*3 allele, and 0.74 for CYP2D6*4 allele]. The present results suggest that EM genotype may be the risk factor of inflammatory bowel disease. Future studies are needed to confirm our assumptions on larger group of patients.

Abstract
Arachidonoyl ethanolamide (anandamide) is an endogenous amide of arachidonic acid and an important signaling mediator of the endocannabinoid system. Given its numerous roles in maintaining normal physiological function and modulating pathophysiological responses throughout the body, the endocannabinoid system is an important pharmacological target amenable to manipulation directly by cannabinoid receptor ligands or indirectly by drugs that alter endocannabinoid synthesis and inactivation. The latter approach has the possible advantage of more selectivity, thus there is the potential for fewer untoward effects like those that are traditionally associated with cannabinoid receptor ligands. In that regard, inhibitors of the principal inactivating enzyme for anandamide, fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), are currently in development for the treatment of pain and inflammation. However, several pathways involved in anandamide synthesis, metabolism, and inactivation all need to be taken into account when evaluating the effects of FAAH inhibitors and similar agents in preclinical models and assessing their clinical potential. Anandamide undergoes oxidation by several human cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes, including CYP3A4, CYP4F2, CYP4X1, and the highly polymorphic CYP2D6, forming numerous structurally diverse lipids, which are likely to have important physiological roles, as evidenced by the demonstration that a P450-derived epoxide of anandamide is a potent agonist for the cannabinoid receptor 2. The focus of this review is to emphasize the need for a better understanding of the P450-mediated pathways of the metabolism of anandamide, because these are likely to be important in mediating endocannabinoid signaling as well as the pharmacological responses to endocannabinoid-targeting drugs.

Abstract
Polymorphic variations of several genes associated with dietary effects and exposure to environmental carcinogens may influence susceptibility to leukemia development. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the polymorphisms of debrisoquine hydroxylase (CYP2D6), epoxide hydrolase (EPHX1), myeloperoxidase (MPO), and quinone-oxoreductase (NQO1), which have been implicated in xenobiotic metabolism, on the risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We evaluated the frequency of polymorphisms in the CYP2D6 (*3 and *4), EPHX1 (*2 and *3), MPO (*2), and NQO1 (*2) genes in 206 patients with childhood ALL and in 364 healthy individuals matched for age and gender from a Brazilian population separated by ethnicity (European ancestry and African ancestry), using the PCR-RFLP method. The CYP2D6 polymorphism variants were associated with an increased risk of ALL. The EPHX1, NQO1, and MPO variant genotypes were significantly associated with a reduced risk of childhood ALL. A significantly stronger protective effect is observed when the EPHX1, NQO1, and MPO variant genotypes are combined suggesting that, CYP2D6 polymorphisms may play a role in the susceptibility to pediatric ALL, whereas the EPHX1, NQO1, and MPO polymorphisms might have a protective function against leukemogenesis.

Abstract
The main contributory factors of Parkinson's disease (PD) are aging, genetic factors, and environmental exposure to pesticides and heavy metals. CYP2D22, a mouse ortholog of human CYP2D6, is expected to participate in a chemically induced PD phenotype due to its structural resemblance with CYP2D6. Despite its expected participation in PD, its expression in the nigrostriatal tissues and modulation by the chemicals that induce PD or offer neuroprotection have not yet been investigated. The present study was undertaken to investigate CYP2D22 expression in mouse striatum and to assess its involvement in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced PD phenotype and nicotine-mediated neuroprotection. The animals were treated intraperitoneally daily with nicotine (1 mg/kg) for 8 weeks, followed by MPTP (20 mg/kg) + nicotine (1 mg/kg) for 2-4 weeks and vice versa, along with respective controls. In some sets of experiments, the animals were treated with ketoconazole (300 mg/kg), a CYP3AH/CYP2D22 inhibitor, along with nicotine and/or MPTP. Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-immunoreactivity in the substantia nigra, the expression of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) alpha6 and alpha4, dopamine content, and 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP(+)) level in the striatum were measured to confirm the MPTP-induced PD phenotype and nicotine-mediated neuroprotection. CYP2D22 and nAChRs expressions were measured in the striatum by RT-PCR/western blotting and dopamine level; CYP2D22 catalytic activity and MPP(+) content were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). MPTP increased dopaminergic neuronal degeneration and the striatal MPP(+) level and reduced striatal dopamine content; it attenuated expression/activity of CYP2D22 and nAChRs that were significantly restored in nicotine-treated animals. Ketoconazole reduced the nicotine-mediated increase in CYP2D22 expression and activity, dopamine content, and TH-immunoreactivity. The results indicate the expression of CYP2D22 in mouse striatum and its possible role in the MPTP-induced PD phenotype and nicotine-mediated neuroprotection.

Abstract
We conducted case-control and prospective longitudinal studies to examine risk factors and predictors of disease progression for ALS. Ninety-five subjects with ALS and 106 healthy control subjects were enrolled. All subjects completed a risk factor questionnaire at enrollment. The ALS subjects were prospectively followed for one year to define factors that influence the rate of disease progression, measured by rate of change in percent predicted forced vital capacity (%FVC) and the ALS functional rating scale (ALSFRS) score. The association of each potential risk factor with ALS was determined using univariate logistic regression. A random slope model was used to determine the association of each risk factor with disease progression. The demographic characteristics of ALS subjects and controls at enrollment did not differ. Significant risk factors for ALS included reported exposure to lead (p = 0.02) and pesticides (p = 0.03). Disease progression was faster in the ALS subjects having bulbar onset and a shorter time period between onset of symptoms and diagnosis. Pertinent variables not associated with either causation or progression of ALS included physical activity, cigarette smoking and a history of physical trauma or other clinical disorders.

Abstract
Polymorphic variations of several genes associated with drugs and xenobiotic metabolism have been linked to the factors that predispose to the carcinogenesis process. As considerable interindividual and interethnic variation in metabolizing enzyme activity has been associated with polymorphic alleles, we evaluated the frequency of the polymorphisms of CYP2D6, EPHX1 and NQO1 genes in 361 Brazilian individuals separated by ethnicity (European and African ancestry), using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length (PCR-RFLP) method. The allele frequencies of the variants *3 and *4 for the gene CYP2D6 were 0.04 and 0.14 for white subjects and 0.03 and 0.10 for black individuals, respectively. For the both variants of the gene EPHX1, we found higher allele frequencies among white individuals compared with mulatto subjects (0.62 vs 0.54 and 0.18 vs 0.14, respectively); however, these differences were not statistically significant (p = 0.39 and 0.56, respectively). For the NQO1 gene we observed a higher frequency of the homozygous genotype among black individuals (7.9%) compared with white subjects (6.3%) (p = 0.003). The genotype frequencies were within the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. We concluded that the allele frequencies of CYP2D6, EPHX1 and NQO1 gene polymorphisms in this Brazilian population showed ethnic variability when compared with those observed in other populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Mirtazapine is a tetracyclic antidepressant drug available as a racemic mixture of S(+)- and R(-)-mirtazapine. These enantiomers have different pharmacological properties, and both contribute to the clinical and adverse effects of the drug. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 has been implicated in the metabolism of S(+)-mirtazapine. However, the effect of CYP2D6 on serum concentrations of the enantiomers of mirtazapine and its metabolites has not been assessed in patients on long-term treatment. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of the CYP2D6 genotype on enantiomeric steady-state trough serum concentrations of mirtazapine and its metabolites N-desmethylmirtazapine and 8-hydroxymirtazapine. The effects of sex, age and smoking behaviour were also assessed. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The study included 95 patients who had depression according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-4th Edition and were treated for 4 weeks with a daily dose of mirtazapine 30 mg. The serum concentrations of the enantiomers of mirtazapine and its metabolites were analysed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and the subjects were genotyped for CYP2D6 alleles *3, *4, *5 and *6 and gene duplication. RESULTS Three subjects (3%) were classified as ultrarapid metabolizers (UMs), 56 (59%) as homozygous extensive metabolizers (EMs), 30 (32%) as heterozygous EMs and 6 (6%) as poor metabolizers (PMs) of CYP2D6. The median trough serum concentrations of S(+)-mirtazapine were higher in PMs (59 nmol/L, p = 0.016) and in heterozygous EMs (39 nmol/L, p = 0.013) than in homozygous EMs (28 nmol/L). PMs and heterozygous EMs also had higher mirtazapine S(+)/R(-) ratios (0.4) than homozygous EMs (0.3, p = 0.015 and 0.004, respectively). The S(+)-N-desmethylmirtazapine concentration was higher in PMs (16 nmol/L) than in homozygous EMs (7 nmol/L, p = 0.043). There was an association between the CYP2D6 genotype and the ratio between S(+)-8-hydroxymirtazapine and S(+)-mirtazapine, with a significantly higher ratio in homozygous EMs than in heterozygous EMs (0.11 vs 0.05, p = 0.007). The influence of the CYP2D6 genotype on S(+)-mirtazapine, the mirtazapine S(+)/R(-) ratio and S(+)-N-desmethylmirtazapine remained significant after correction for the influence of sex, age and smoking. Smokers had significantly lower concentrations of S(+)-mirtazapine (23 vs 39 nmol/L, p = 0.026) and R(-)-N-desmethylmirtazapine (39 vs 51 nmol/L, p = 0.036) and a significantly lower mirtazapine S(+)/R(-) ratio (0.28 vs. 0.37, p = 0.014) than nonsmokers, and the effect of smoking remained significant after multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS This study is the first to show the impact of the CYP2D6 genotype on steady-state serum concentrations of the enantiomers of mirtazapine and its metabolites. Our results also support the role of CYP1A2 in the metabolism of mirtazapine, with lower serum concentrations in smokers than in nonsmokers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since the serotonin (5-HT) is associated with circadian rhythm and breathing regulation, the serotonin transporter (5-HTT), which plays an important role in serotoninergic transmission, might be a strong candidate gene in the pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of 5-HTT gene polymorphisms with OSAS and clinical characteristics. METHODS We genotyped the 5-HTT gene linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) and a variable number of tandem repeats at intron 2 (STin2.VNTR) in 254 OSAS patients and 338 healthy controls in Chinese Han population. RESULTS In total sample, the 10-repeat allele of STin2.VNTR was significantly associated with OSAS (P = 0.007, OR = 1.72, 95% CI = 1.15-2.58), but no association was found in 5-HTTLPR. In male subjects, both polymorphisms showed significant association with OSAS (Allele L: P = 0.005, OR = 1.44, 95% CI = 1.11 to 1.87; Allele 10: P = 0.002, OR= 1.94, 95% CI = 1.26 to 3.00). Two haplotypes, S-12 and L-10, constructed by the above polymorphisms also revealed significant associations with OSAS (global P-values were 0.020 for total sample and 0.0006 for male subjects, respectively). Male patients carrying the haplotype S-12 showed a significantly lower apnea / hypopnea index (AHI), depressive factor, plasma 5-HT level and 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid (5-HIAA) levels, but higher episodic memory, when compared with non-S-12 carriers (P < 0.05). However, no significant differences were found in excessive daytime sleepiness or other psychological function across haplotype carriers (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS These findings support that 5-HTT gene may be involved in susceptibility to OSAS, especially with sex-dependent effect.

Abstract
RATIONALE Many patients with psychotic symptoms respond poorly to treatment. Factors possibly affecting treatment response include the presence of polymorphisms in genes coding for various receptor populations, drug-metabolizing enzymes or transport proteins. OBJECTIVES To investigate whether genetic polymorphisms could be indicators of treatment response to antipsychotic drugs. The genes of interest were the dopamine D2 receptor gene (DRD2), the serotonin 2A and 2C receptor genes (HTR2A and HTR2C), the P-glycoprotein gene (ABCB1 or MDR1) and the drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450 2D6 gene (CYP2D6). MATERIAL AND METHODS Data for this naturalistic, cross-sectional study of patients requiring antipsychotic drugs and attending the Psychosis Outpatient Care clinic in Jönköping, Sweden were obtained from patient interviews, blood samples and information from patient files. Blood samples were genotyped for DRD2 Taq1 A, Ins/Del and Ser311Cys, HTR2A T102C, HTR2C Cys23Ser, ABCB1 1236C>T, 2677G>T/A, 3435C>T and genetic variants of CYP2D6. The patients (n=116) were grouped according to the CANSEPT method regarding significant social and clinical needs and significant side effects. RESULTS Patients on olanzapine homozygous for ABCB1 3435T, had more significant social and clinical needs than others. Patients with one or two DRD2 Taq1 A1 alleles had a greater risk of significant side effects, particularly if they were male, Caucasian, had a schizophrenic or delusional disorder or were taking strong dopamine D2-receptor antagonistic drugs. CONCLUSION If these results are confirmed, patients carrying the DRD2 Taq1 A1 allele would benefit from using drugs without strong dopamine D2 receptor antagonistic properties.

Abstract
Objective: To report a case of unusually low concentrations of methadone in a polydrug abuser during maintenance treatment with methadone. Case Summary: A 25-year-old man (weight 55 kg, height 165 cm) with a 12-year history of polydrug abuse was admitted to an opiates withdrawal methadone program. At the time of our observation, he was using both cannabinoids and heroin; no other medical conditions were discovered. Within the opiates withdrawal methadone program, under medical supervision, the patient started methadone therapy (20 mg/day). Two weeks later, an Abuscreen assay for methadone screening in the urine was negative and, to prevent the development of withdrawal symptoms, the dose of methadone was increased to 60 mg/day. One day later, the patient was asked to collect another urine sample in the presence of a nurse. The Abuscreen for methadone in urine remained negative. Evaluation of urinary samples collected over 24 hours documented low concentrations of methadone and high levels of 2-ethylidene-1,5-dimethyl-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidine (the primary metabolite of methadone). Evaluation for the presence of the most common polymorphisms in the cytochrome P450 and P-glycoprotein genes showed that the patient was heterozygous for the CYP3A531 allele and for 2 single nucleotide polymorphisms in the P-glycoprotein gene (1236C/T and 3435C/T). Discussion: In this patient, poor methadone adherence was ruled out because of the presence of physicians and nurses during both methadone maintenance treatment and Abuscreen screening. Moreover, because the patient reported only heroin and cannabis at the time of evaluation, drug interactions were ruled out as possible causes for the rapid clearance of methadone. Conclusions: In this case, CYP3A5 polymorphism may have played a role in the rapid methadone metabolism.

Abstract
Previously we reported that in sheep dippers exposed to organophosphates the frequency of paraoxonase (PON1) polymorphisms differed between those with or without self-reported ill health. We have now examined whether polymorphisms in other genes involved in xenobiotic metabolism alter disease risk in this population. There were elevated but non-significant risks associated with the CYP2D6 WT genotype (odds ratio (OR) 1.47, 95% CI 0.83-2.60), or a GSTP1*B or *C allele (OR 1.37, 95% CI 0.88-2.01) or being GSTM1*2/GSTT1*2 homozygous (OR 1.61, 95% CI 0.74-3.48). Similar results were generally obtained after the exclusion of subjects to obtain a more homogenous case-referent population: for double null GSTM1 and GSTT1 homozygotes the OR was 2.06 (95% CI 0.85-2.04). In those also likely to have been exposed to diazinon, risks associated with a GSTP1*B or *C allele (OR 1.82, 95% CI 0.92-3.63) or a GSTM1*2/GSTT1*2 homozygous (OR 2.60, 95% CI 0.72-10.42) were elevated but not to a significant extent. Risk associated with PON1 genotype and phenotype varied with CYP2D6 and GSTP1 genotype but not consistently with a priori hypotheses. Further work is necessary to delineate more clearly pathways of organophosphate activation and non-PON1 pathways of detoxification and to confirm whether CYP and GST polymorphisms alter disease risk in populations exposed to organophosphates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Prior studies suggest a decreased frequency of cancer in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). We conducted a nested case-control study to estimate the association between the diagnosis of PD and a history of preceding cancer. METHODS Our case-control study was nested within a prospective cohort of 22,071 US male physicians. During 22 years of follow-up, 487 incident cases of PD were identified and matched by age to 487 controls. We then evaluated a history of cancer prior to the index date that was confirmed by medical record review. RESULTS The frequency of any cancer was less in cases (13.1%) than in controls (14.8%). There was an inverse relationship between overall cancer (odds ratio [OR] = 0.83; 95% CI, 0.57-1.21), smoking-related (OR = 0.74; 95% CI, 0.35-1.57), and non-smoking-related cancer (OR = 0.88; 95% CI, 0.59-1.32) and the subsequent development of PD. Smoking significantly modified the relationship between PD and smoking-related cancer (p (interaction) = 0.002). PD cases who smoked had an OR of 0.32 (95% CI, 0.11-0.89) for smoking-related cancer. In contrast, PD cases who never smoked had an OR of 6.85 (95% CI, 0.83-56.39). CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that the frequency of cancer preceding the diagnosis of PD is decreased. Smoking status prior to PD or cancer diagnosis significantly modified the association between smoking-related cancer and PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prior studies suggest a decreased risk of cancer among patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). METHODS Matched cohort analysis among the 22,071 participants in the Physician's Health Study. A total of 487 incident cases of PD without preceding cancer were identified by self-report. Each PD case was matched by age to a reference participant who was alive and cancer free at the time of PD diagnosis. Both cohorts were followed for incident cancer. We used proportional hazards models to calculate adjusted relative risks (RR) for cancer. RESULTS A total of 121 cancers were confirmed during a median follow-up of 5.2 years (PD) and 5.9 years (reference). Those with PD developed less cancer (11.0% versus 14.0%), with an adjusted RR of 0.85 [95% confidence interval (95% CI), 0.59-1.22]. Reduced risk was present for smoking-related cancers such as lung (RR, 0.32), colorectal (RR, 0.54), and bladder (RR, 0.68), as well as for most non-smoking-related cancers such as prostate cancer (RR, 0.74). In contrast, PD patients were at significantly increased risk (RR, 6.15; 95% CI, 1.77-21.37) for melanoma. PD patients who smoked were at reduced risk for smoking-related cancer (RR, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.12-0.92), whereas nonsmokers with PD were at increased risk (RR, 1.80; 95% CI, 0.60-5.39). This interaction was statistically significant (P(interaction) = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest a decreased incidence of most cancers in patients with PD. PD patients had a significantly increased risk of malignant melanoma, a finding consistent with prior studies. We confirmed an interaction between smoking and the relationship of PD to smoking-related cancer that may fit the pattern of a gene-environment interaction.
