Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, drug screening has been one of the most significant challenges in the field of personalized medicine, particularly in cancer treatment. However, several new platforms have been introduced to address this issue, providing reliable solutions for personalized drug validation and safety testing. In this study, we developed a personalized drug combination protocol as the primary input to such platforms. METHODS To achieve this, we utilized data from whole-genome expression profiles of 6173 breast cancer patients, 312 healthy individuals, and 691 drugs. Our approach involved developing an individual pattern of perturbed gene expression (IPPGE) for each patient, which was used as the basis for drug selection. An algorithm was designed to extract personalized drug combinations by comparing the IPPGE and drug signatures. Additionally, we employed the concept of drug repurposing, searching for new benefits of existing drugs that may regulate the desired genes. RESULTS Our study revealed that drug combinations obtained from both specialized and non-specialized cancer medicines were more effective than those extracted from only specialized medicines. Furthermore, we observed that the individual pattern of perturbed gene expression (IPPGE) was unique to each patient, akin to a fingerprint. CONCLUSIONS The personalized drug combination protocol developed in this study offers a methodological interface between drug repurposing and combination drug therapy in cancer treatment. This protocol enables personalized drug combinations to be extracted from hundreds of drugs and thousands of drug combinations, potentially offering more effective treatment options for cancer patients.

Influence of genetic polymorphisms in glutathione-S-transferases gene in response to imatinib among Brazilian patients with chronic myeloid leukemia. Mol Biol Rep 2021; 48:2035-2046.

Abstract
Polymorphism in metabolizing enzymes can influence drug response as well as the risk for adverse drug reactions. Nevertheless, there are still few studies analyzing the consequence of polymorphisms for the Glutathione-S-transferases (GST) gene to drug response in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). This study reports, the influence of GSTP1*B and GSTT1/GSTM1null polymorphisms in response to imatinib in CML patients in a Brazilian population. One hundred thirty-nine CML patients from the Clinical Hospital of Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil, treated with imatinib were enrolled in this study. Genotyping of GSTT1 and GSTM1 genes deletions were performed by qPCR and of GSTP1 gene was performed by RFLP-PCR. The frequency of GSTP1*1B, GSTT1 and GSTM1null polymorphisms were determined for all patients. The influence of each patient's genotypes was analyzed with the patient's response to imatinib treatment. Brazilian CML patients revealed GSTT1 and GSTM1 genes deletions. GSTT1 deletion was found in 19.3% of patients and GSTM1 deletion in 48.7% of patients with CML. GSTT1/GSTM1 deletion was found in 11.7% in Brazilian CML patients. The "G allele" of GSTP1*B, is associated with later cytogenetic response in imatinib therapy. While, the gene presence combined with GG genotype (GSTM1 present/GSTPI-GG) conferred a tend to a later cytogenetic response to patients. GSTP1*B and GSTT1/GSTM1null polymorphisms influence treatment response in CML. Brazilian CML patients presenting GSTP1 AA/AG genotypes alone and in combination with GSTT1 null reach the cytogenetic response faster, while patients presenting GSTP1-GG and GSTMI positive genotypes may take longer to achieve cytogenetic response. As a result, it allows a better prognosis, with the use of an alternative therapy, other than reducing treatment cost.

Pharmacogenetics Update on Biologic Therapy in Psoriasis. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2020; 56:medicina56120719. [PMID: 33419370 PMCID: PMC7766592 DOI: 10.3390/medicina56120719] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2020] [Revised: 12/06/2020] [Accepted: 12/17/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Background and objectives: Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated skin disease caused by several complex factors, both environmental and genetic, many of which are still not fully understood. Nowadays, several groups of biological drugs are being used for psoriasis treatment. Although these therapies are very effective, they show significant variability in efficacy among individuals. Therefore, there is a need for biomarkers to predict treatment outcomes in order to guide personalized therapeutic decisions. Pharmacogenetics is the study of variations in DNA sequences related to drug response. Materials and Methods: In this article, we review pharmacogenetics studies on the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis focusing on anti-interleukin (IL) 12/23 (ustekinumab) and anti-IL17 drugs (secukinumab and ixekizumab), as well as recent studies concerning anti-TNF drugs. Results: Several polymorphisms have been studied over the years in reference to anti-TNF drugs; some of the most recent studies included the performance of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) and pharmacogenetics studies focused on the optimization of a treatment regimen. Various polymorphisms in different genes have been related to ustekinumab response; among them, the most commonly studied is the HLA-C*06:02 allele. Conclusions: Although not confirmed in some studies, most studies have shown that patients carrying this allele present a significantly higher response rate to ustekinumab. Some polymorphisms have been studied in patients treated with anti-IL17 drugs, mostly related to secukinumab; however, up to now, no association has been found between any of these polymorphisms and response. Nevertheless, further studies involving larger cohorts are needed in order to confirm these results before the implementation of this biomarker in clinical practice.

Abstract
The advent of digital, electronic, and molecular technologies has allowed the study of complete genomes. Integrating this information into drug development has opened the door for pharmacogenomic (PGx) interventions in direct patient care. PGx allows clinicians to better identify drug of choice and optimize dosing regimens based on an individual's genetic characteristics. Integrating PGx into pediatric care is a priority for the Sanford Children's Genomic Medicine Consortium, a partnership of ten children's hospitals across the US committed to the innovation and advancement of genomics in pediatric care. In this white paper, we review the current state of PGx research and its clinical utility in pediatrics, a largely understudied population, and make recommendations for advancing cutting-edge practice in pediatrics.

Abstract
Epileptic spasm (ES) is one of the seizure types which is difficult to treat. Next-generation sequencing has facilitated rapid gene discovery that is linked to ES and GRIN2A being one of them. Genotype-driven precision medicine is on the horizon and is a targeted treatment approach toward the precise molecular cause of the disease. GRIN2A gene encodes for a subunit of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and it has been suggested from in vitro studies and few case reports that memantine, a NMDA receptor antagonist, was shown to reduce seizures in patients with GRIN2A mutations. Here, we describe a patient with a novel GRIN2A mutation and severe drug-resistant ES who became seizure free with memantine.

Abstract
Precision and personalized medicine is gaining importance in modern clinical medicine, as it aims to improve diagnostic precision and to reduce consequent therapeutic failures. In this regard, prior to use in human trials, animal models can help evaluate novel imaging approaches and therapeutic strategies and can help discover new biomarkers. Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide, accounting for 25% of cases of all cancers and is responsible for approximately 500,000 deaths per year. Thus, it is important to identify accurate biomarkers for precise stratification of affected patients and for early detection of responsiveness to the selected therapeutic protocol. This review aims to summarize the latest advancements in preclinical molecular imaging in breast cancer mouse models. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging remains one of the most common preclinical techniques used to evaluate biomarker expression in vivo, whereas magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), particularly diffusion-weighted (DW) sequences, has been demonstrated as capable of distinguishing responders from nonresponders for both conventional and innovative chemo- and immune-therapies with high sensitivity and in a noninvasive manner. The ability to customize therapies is desirable, as this will enable early detection of diseases and tailoring of treatments to individual patient profiles. Animal models remain irreplaceable in the effort to understand the molecular mechanisms and patterns of oncologic diseases.

Abstract
Introduction: Over the last decade, the spread of next-generation sequencing technology along with the rising cost in health management in national health systems has led to widespread use/abuse of pharmacogenetic tests (PGx) in the practice of many clinical disciplines. However, given their clinical significance, it is important to standardize these tests for having an interaction with the clinical analysis laboratory (CAL), in which a PGx service can meet these requirements. Areas covered: A diagnostic test must meet the criteria of reproducibility and validity for its utility in the clinical routine. This present review mainly describes the utility of introducing PGx tests in the CAL routine to produce correct results useful for setting up personalized drug treatments. Expert opinion: With a PGx service, CALs can provide the right tool to help clinicians to make better choices about different categories of drugs and their dosage and to manage the economic impact both in hospital-based settings and in National Health Services, throughout electronic health records. Advances in PGx also allow a new approach for pharmaceutical companies in order to improve drug development and clinical trials. As a result, CALs can achieve a powerful source of epidemiological, clinical, and research findings from PGx tests.

Abstract
Pharmacogenetics is the study of variations in DNA sequence related to drug response. Moreover, the evolution of biotechnology and the sequencing of human DNA have allowed the creation of pharmacogenomics, a branch of genetics that analyzes human genes, the RNAs and proteins encoded by them, and the inter-and intra-individual variations in expression and function in relation to drug response. Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics are being used to search for biomarkers that can predict response to systemic treatments, including those for moderate-to-severe psoriasis. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease with an autoimmune contribution. Although its etiology remains unknown, genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors play a role in its development. Diverse systemic and biologic therapies are used to treat moderate-to-severe psoriasis. However, these treatments are not curative, and patients exhibit a wide range of responses to them. Moderate-to-severe psoriasis is usually treated with systemic immunomodulators such as acitretin, ciclosporin, and methotrexate. Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) drugs (adalimumab, etanercept, or infliximab) are the first-line treatment for patients resistant to conventional systemic therapies. Although these therapies are very efficient, around 30-50% of patients have inadequate response. Ustekinumab is a monoclonal antibody that targets interleukin (IL)-12 and IL-23 and is used for moderate-to-severe psoriasis. New drugs (apremilast, brodalumab, guselkumab, ixekizumab, and secukinumab) have recently been approved for psoriasis. However, response rates to systemic treatments for moderate-to-severe psoriasis range from 35 to 80%, so it is necessary to identify non-invasive biomarkers that could help predict treatment outcomes of these therapies and individualize care for patients with psoriasis. These biomarkers could improve patient quality of life and reduce health costs and potential side effects. Pharmacogenetic studies have identified potential biomarkers for response to biologic treatments for moderate-to-severe psoriasis. These biomarkers need to be validated in clinical trials involving large cohorts of patients before they can be translated to the clinic. We review pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics studies for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

Abstract
The connection between genetic variation and drug response has long been explored to facilitate the optimization and personalization of cancer therapy. Crucial to the identification of drug response related genetic features is the ability to separate indirect correlations from direct correlations across abundant datasets with large number of variables. Here we analyzed proteomic and pharmacogenomic data in cancer tissues and cell lines using a global statistical model connecting protein pairs, genes and anti-cancer drugs. We estimated this model using direct coupling analysis (DCA), a powerful statistical inference method that has been successfully applied to protein sequence data to extract evolutionary signals that provide insights on protein structure, folding and interactions. We used Direct Information (DI) as a metric of connectivity between proteins as well as gene-drug pairs. We were able to infer important interactions observed in cancer-related pathways from proteomic data and predict potential connectivities in cancer networks. We also identified known and potential connections for anti-cancer drugs and gene mutations using DI in pharmacogenomic data. Our findings suggest that gene-drug connections predicted with direct couplings can be used as a reliable guide to cancer therapy and expand our understanding of the effects of gene alterations on drug efficacies.

Abstract
Background The efficiency and safety of drug therapy depends on the peculiarities of functioning of the P450 cytochrome group and transporting proteins. There are significant differences for single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) frequency. Materials and methods We studied the peculiarities of P450 cytochrome polymorphisms, SLCO1B1 transporting protein, and P-glycoprotein carriage in healthy volunteers in the Nanai ethnic group living in Russia, and compared them to the carriage of SNPs in the Russian population according to literature data. Results After performing the real-time polymerase chain reactions on the samples from 70 healthy volunteers from the Nanai group, for the CYP2C9*2C430T polymorphism we determined 70 CC-genotype carriers. As for the CYP2C9*3A1075C polymorphism, we found 62 AA-genotype carriers and eight AC-genotype carriers. For the CYP2C19*2G681A polymorphism, we determined 39 GG-genotype carriers and 28 GA-genotype carriers, for the CYP2C19*3G636A polymorphism 58 GG-genotype carriers and 12 GA-genotype carriers, and for the CYP2C19*17C806T polymorphism 67 CC-genotype carriers and three CT-genotype carriers. For the CYP2D6*4G1846A polymorphism, the GG genotype had 68 carriers, and the GA genotype two carriers. For the ABCB1*6C3435T polymorphism, there were 19 CC-genotype carriers and 39 CT-genotype carriers. For the SLCO1B1*5T521C polymorphism, the TT genotype had 41 carriers and the CT genotype 25 carriers. The distribution of genotypes fitted the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium for all the polymorphisms, except those of CYP2C9*2. There were also significant differences in allele frequencies for some polymorphisms between the Nanais and the Russians. Conclusion In the Nanai population, there are polymorphisms connected with the decrease in safety and efficiency of drug therapy. Studying the ethnic differences might influence the determination of priority in the introduction of pharmacogenetic tests in clinical practice in different regions of Russia.

Abstract
Genetic variation can influence response to antiepileptic drug (AED) treatment through various effector processes. Metabolism of many AEDs is mediated by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) family; some of the CYPs have allelic variants that may affect serum AED concentrations. ‘Precision medicine’ focuses on the identification of an underlying genetic aetiology allowing personalised therapeutic choices. Certain human leukocyte antigen, HLA, alleles are associated with an increased risk of idiosyncratic adverse drug reactions. New results are emerging from large-scale multinational efforts, likely imminently to add knowledge of value from a pharmacogenetic perspective.
There is high variability in the response to antiepileptic treatment across people with epilepsy. Genetic factors significantly contribute to such variability. Recent advances in the genetics and neurobiology of the epilepsies are establishing the basis for a new era in the treatment of epilepsy, focused on each individual and their specific epilepsy. Variation in response to antiepileptic drug treatment may arise from genetic variation in a range of gene categories, including genes affecting drug pharmacokinetics, and drug pharmacodynamics, but also genes held to actually cause the epilepsy itself. From a purely pharmacogenetic perspective, there are few robust genetic findings with established evidence in epilepsy. Many findings are still controversial with anecdotal or less secure evidence and need further validation, e.g. variation in genes for transporter systems and antiepileptic drug targets. The increasing use of genetic sequencing and the results of large-scale collaborative projects may soon expand the established evidence. Precision medicine treatments represent a growing area of interest, focussing on reversing or circumventing the pathophysiological effects of specific gene mutations. This could lead to a dramatic improvement of the effectiveness and safety of epilepsy treatments, by targeting the biological mechanisms responsible for epilepsy in each specific individual. Whilst much has been written about epilepsy pharmacogenetics, there does now seem to be building momentum that promises to deliver results of use in clinic.
