Abstract
While postmortem (PM) toxicology results provide valuable information towards ascertaining both the cause and manner of death in coronial cases, there are also significant difficulties associated with the interpretation of PM drug levels. Such difficulties are influenced by several pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic factors including PM redistribution, diffusion, site-to-site variability in drug levels, different drug properties and metabolism, bacterial activity, genetic polymorphisms, tolerance, resuscitation efforts, underlying conditions, and the toxicity profile of cases (i.e. single- or mixed-drug toxicity). A large body of research has been dedicated for better understanding and even quantifying the influence of these factors on PM drug levels. For example, several investigative matrices have been developed as potential indicators of PM redistribution, but they have limited practical value. Reference tables of clinically relevant therapeutic, toxic, and potentially fatal drug concentrations have also been compiled, but these unfortunately do not provide reliable reference values for PM toxicology. More recent research has focused on developing databases of peripheral PM drug levels for a variety of case-types to increase transferability to real-life cases and improve interpretations. Changes to drug levels after death are inevitable and unavoidable. As such, guidelines and practices will continue to evolve as we further our understanding of such phenomena.

Use of CYP2D6 substrates and inhibitors during pain management with analgesic opioids: Drug-drug interactions that lead to lack of analgesic effectiveness. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 176:116882. [PMID: 38876046 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116882] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2024] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several opioids have pharmacogenetic and drug-drug interactions which may compromise their analgesic effectiveness, but are not routinely implemented into supportive pain management. We hypothesized that CYP2D6 phenotypes and concomitant use of CYP2D6 substrates or inhibitors would correlate with opioid analgesic outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS An observational cross-sectional study was conducted with 263 adult chronic non cancer pain (CNCP) patients from a real-world pain unit under long-term CYP2D6-related opioid treatment (tramadol, hydromorphone, tapentadol or oxycodone). Metabolizer phenotype (ultrarapid [UM], normal [NM], intermediate [IM] or poor [PM]) was determined by the CYP2D6 genotype. The socio-demographic (sex, age, employment status), clinical (pain intensity and relief, neuropathic component, quality of life, disability, anxiety and depression), pharmacological (opioid doses and concomitant pharmacotherapy) and safety (adverse events) variables were recorded. RESULTS The whole population (66 % female, 65 (14) years old, 70 % retired and 63 % attended for low back pain) were classified as PM (5 %), IM (32 %), NM (56 %) and UM (6 %). Multiple linear and logistic regressions showed higher pain intensity and neuropathic component at younger ages when using any CYP2D6 substrate (p = 0.022) or inhibitor (p = 0.030) drug, respectively, with poorer pain relief when CYP2D6 inhibitors (p=0.030) were present. CONCLUSION The concomitant use of CYP2D6 substrates or inhibitors during opioid therapy for CNCP may result in lack of analgesic effectiveness. This aspect could be relevant for pharmacological decision making during CNCP management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the trends in post-tonsillectomy analgesic utility and incidence of post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage before and after the 2013 FDA Boxed Warning against codeine use after pediatric tonsillectomy. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted using TriNetX. A search for patients up to 18 years from 2008 to 2022 within the US Collaborative Network identified 15,648,542 subjects. CPT and ICD-10 codes were used to identify children who experienced post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage within 14 days of a tonsillectomy. Analgesics given within 14 days of tonsillectomy were tabulated annually from 2008 to 2022, including codeine, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, oxycodone, ketorolac, and hydrocodone. Bleeding percentage and analgesic utility were grouped into events before and after 2013. RESULTS Mean age at tonsillectomy was 5.6 years (SD = 3.0). Before 2013, the median percentage of children who experienced postoperative bleeding was 1.8% with 0.73% returning to the OR for bleeding control. After 2013, the median percentage of children who experienced postoperative bleeding was 2.4% (p = 0.029), and 0.99% returned to the OR (p = 0.008). Use of post-tonsillectomy codeine fell from 10.4% to 0.5% (p = 0.003) whereas ibuprofen rose from 2.0% to 63.9% (p = <0.001), acetaminophen from 42.8% to 77.2% (p = <0.001), ketorolac from 1.2% to 9.2% (p = <0.001), and oxycodone from 2.0% to 30.9% (p = <0.001). No change was detected in use of hydrocodone. CONCLUSION Analgesics used post-tonsillectomy in children have changed since the FDA Boxed Warning against codeine. There has been a small but statistically significant increase in post-tonsillectomy bleeding. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV Laryngoscope, 2024.

Abstract
Genomics is a crucial part of managing surgical disease. This review focuses on some of the genomic advances that are available now and looks to the future of their application in surgical practice. Whole-genome sequencing enables unbiased coverage across the entire human genome of approximately three billion base pairs. Newer technologies, such as those that permit long-read sequence analysis, provide additional information in longer phased fragment and base pair epigenomic (methylomic) data. Whole-genome sequencing is currently available in England for cancers in children, teenagers and young adults, central nervous system tumours, sarcoma and haematological malignancies. Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA), immunotherapy and pharmacogenomics have emerged as groundbreaking approaches in the field of cancer treatment. These are now revolutionising the way oncologists and surgeons approach curative cancer surgery. Cancer vaccines offer an innovative approach to reducing recurrence after surgery by priming the immune system to trigger an immune response. The Cancer Vaccine Launch Pad project facilitates cancer vaccine studies in England. The BNT122-01 trial is recruiting patients with ctDNA-positive high-risk colorectal cancer after surgery to assess the impact of cancer vaccines. The evolving landscape of cancer treatment demands a dynamic and integrated approach from the surgical multidisciplinary team. Immunotherapy, ctDNA, pharmacogenomics, vaccines, mainstreaming and whole-genome sequencing are just some of the innovations that have the potential to redefine the standards of care. The continued exploration of these innovative diagnostics and therapies, the genomic pathway evolution and their application in diverse cancer types highlights the transformative impact of precision medicine in surgery.

Gynecol Oncol 2024; 183:9-14.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this prospective study was to compare perioperative opioid use in women by status of CYP2D6, a highly polymorphic pharmacogene relevant to opioid metabolism. METHODS Patients undergoing laparotomy were prospectively recruited and provided a preoperative saliva swab for a pharmacogenomic (PGx) gene panel. Postoperative opioid usage and pain scores were evaluated via chart review and a phone survey. Pharmacogenes known to be relevant to opioid metabolism were genotyped, and opioid metabolizing activity predicted by CYP2D6 genotyping. Patient and procedural factors were compared using Fisher's exact and Kruskal-Wallis tests. RESULTS The 96 enrolled patients were classified as ultra-rapid (N = 3, 3%), normal (58, 60%), intermediate (27, 28%), and poor (8, 8%) opioid metabolizers. There was no difference in surgical complexity across CYP2D6 categories (p = 0.61). Morphine Milligram Equivalents (MME) consumed during the first 24 h after peri-operative suite exit were significantly different between groups: ultrarapid metabolizers had the highest median MME (75, IQR 45-88) compared to the other three groups (normal metabolizers 23 [8-45], intermediate metabolizers 48 [20-63], poor metabolizers 31 [12-53], p = 0.03). Opioid requirements were clinically greater in ultrarapid metabolizers during the second 24 h and last 24 h but were statistically similar (p = 0.07). There was no difference in MME prescribed at discharge (p = 0.22) or patient satisfaction with pain control (p = 0.64) between groups. CONCLUSIONS A positive association existed between increased CYP2D6 activity and in-hospital opioid requirements, especially in the first 24 h after surgery. This provides important information to further individualize opioid prescriptions for patients undergoing laparotomy for gynecologic pathology.

Does Preoperative Pharmacogenomic Testing of Patients Undergoing TKA Improve Postoperative Pain? A Randomized Trial. Clin Orthop Relat Res 2024; 482:291-300. [PMID: 37594401 PMCID: PMC10776165 DOI: 10.1097/corr.0000000000002767] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 06/09/2023] [Indexed: 08/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pharmacogenomics is an emerging and affordable tool that may improve postoperative pain control. One challenge to successful pain control is the large interindividual variability among analgesics in their efficacy and adverse drug events. Whether preoperative pharmacogenomic testing is worthwhile for patients undergoing TKA is unclear. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) Are the results of preoperative pharmacogenetic testing associated with lower postoperative pain scores as measured by the Overall Benefit of Analgesic Score (OBAS)? (2) Do the results of preoperative pharmacogenomic testing lead to less total opioids given? (3) Do the results of preoperative pharmacogenomic testing lead to changes in opioid prescribing patterns? METHODS Participants of this randomized trial were enrolled from September 2018 through December 2021 if they were aged 18 to 80 years and were undergoing primary TKA under general anesthesia. Patients were excluded if they had chronic kidney disease, a history of chronic pain or narcotic use before surgery, or if they were undergoing robotic surgery. Preoperatively, patients completed pharmacogenomic testing (RightMed, OneOME) and a questionnaire and were randomly assigned to the experimental group or control group. Of 99 patients screened, 23 were excluded, one before randomization; 11 allocated patients in each group did not receive their allocated interventions for reasons such as surgery canceled, patients ultimately undergoing spinal anesthesia, and change in surgery plan. Another four patients in each group were excluded from the analysis because they were missing an OBAS report. This left 30 patients for analysis in the control group and 38 patients in the experimental group. The control and experimental groups were similar in age, gender, and race. Pharmacogenomic test results for patients in the experimental group were reviewed before surgery by a pharmacist, who recommended perioperative medications to the clinical team. A pharmacist also assessed for clinically relevant drug-gene interactions and recommended drug and dose selection according to guidelines from the Clinical Pharmacogenomics Implementation Consortium for each patient enrolled in the study. Patients were unaware of their pharmacogenomic results. Pharmacogenomic test results for patients in the control group were not reviewed before surgery; instead, standard perioperative medications were administered in adherence to our institutional care pathways. The OBAS (maximum 28 points) was the primary outcome measure, recorded 24 hours postoperatively. A two-sample t-test was used to compare the mean OBAS between groups. Secondary measures were the mean 24-hour pain score, total morphine milligram equivalent, and frequency of opioid use. Postoperatively, patients were assessed for pain with a VAS (range 0 to 10). Opioid use was recorded preoperatively, intraoperatively, in the postanesthesia care unit, and 24 hours after discharge from the postanesthesia care unit. Changes in perioperative opioid use based on pharmacogenomic testing were recorded, as were changes in prescription patterns for postoperative pain control. Preoperative characteristics were also compared between patients with and without various phenotypes ascertained from pharmacogenomic test results. RESULTS The mean OBAS did not differ between groups (mean ± SD 4.7 ± 3.7 in the control group versus 4.2 ± 2.8 in the experimental group, mean difference 0.5 [95% CI -1.1 to 2.1]; p = 0.55). Total opioids given did not differ between groups or at any single perioperative timepoint (preoperative, intraoperative, or postoperative). We found no difference in opioid prescribing pattern. After adjusting for multiple comparisons, no difference was observed between the treatment and control groups in tramadol use (41% versus 71%, proportion difference 0.29 [95% CI 0.05 to 0.53]; nominal p = 0.02; adjusted p > 0.99). CONCLUSION Routine use of pharmacogenomic testing for patients undergoing TKA did not lead to better pain control or decreased opioid consumption. Future studies might focus on at-risk populations, such as patients with chronic pain or those undergoing complex, painful surgical procedures, to test whether pharmacogenomic results might be beneficial in certain circumstances.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pharmacogenetics (PGx) aims to determine genetic signatures that can be used in clinical settings to individualize treatment for each patient, including anti-cancer drugs, anti-psychotics, and painkillers. Taken together, a better understanding of the impacts of genetic variants on the corresponding protein function or expression permits the prediction of the pharmacological response: responders, non-responders, and those with adverse drug reactions (ADRs). OBJECTIVE This work provides a comparison between innovative long-read sequencing (LRS) and short-read sequencing (SRS) techniques. METHODS AND MATERIALS The gene panel captured using PacBio HiFi® sequencing was tested on thirteen clinical samples on GENTYANE's platform. SRS, using a comprehensive pharmacogenetics panel, was performed in routine settings at the Civil Hospitals of Lyon. We focused on complex regions analysis, including copy number variations (CNVs), structural variants, repeated regions, and phasing-haplotyping for three key pharmacogenes: CYP2D6, UGT1A1, and NAT2. RESULTS Variants and the corresponding expected star (*) alleles were reported. Although only 38.4% concordance was found for haplotype determination and 61.5% for diplotype, this did not affect the metabolism scoring. A better accuracy of LRS was obtained for the detection of the CYP2D6*5 haplotype in the presence of the duplicated wild-type CYP2D6*2 form. A total concordance was performed for UGT1A1 TA repeat detection. Direct phasing using the LRS approach allowed us to correct certain NAT2 profiles. CONCLUSIONS Combining an optimized variant-calling pipeline and with direct phasing analysis, LRS is a robust technique for PGx analysis that can minimize the risk of mis-haplotyping.

Abstract
Compound-analgesics containing codeine (CACC) have been a common source of codeine for people seeking opioid replacement therapy (ORT) for codeine use disorder (CUD). Our previous work demonstrated no relationship between pre-treatment CACC and ORT buprenorphine doses; we hypothesised that CYP2D6 activity would partially account for this disconnection. One hundred six participants with CUD were compared to a published population sample of 5408 Australian patients. Mean age of participants with CUD at treatment entry was 35 years, with mean 6.1 years duration of CUD. Mean codeine dose was 660 mg/day (range 40-2700 mg). Mean calculated CYP2D6 activity scores were significantly higher in the codeine group (CUD 1.65 + 0.63 vs. Gen pop 1.39 + 0.65, Wilcoxon W = 347,001, p < 0.001). Pre-treatment CACC dose weakly predicted sublingual buprenorphine doses overall; there was a stronger relationship within ultrarapid metabolisers. While normal and ultrarapid metabolisers of codeine were more likely to have a diagnosis of CUD, poor or intermediate CYP2D6 metaboliser status may protect against CUD.

Abstract
It is well known that common variants in specific genes influence drug metabolism and response, but it is currently unknown what fraction of patients are given prescriptions over a lifetime that could be contraindicated by their pharmacogenomic profiles. To determine the clinical utility of pharmacogenomics over a lifetime in a general patient population, we sequenced the genomes of 300 deceased Marshfield Clinic patients linked to lifelong medical records. Genetic variants in 33 pharmacogenes were evaluated for their lifetime impact on drug prescribing using extensive electronic health records. Results show that 93% of the 300 deceased patients carried clinically relevant variants. Nearly 80% were prescribed approximately three medications on average that may have been impacted by these variants. Longitudinal data suggested that the optimal age for pharmacogenomic testing was prior to age 50, but the optimal age is greatly influenced by the stability of the population in the healthcare system. This study emphasizes the broad clinical impact of pharmacogenomic testing over a lifetime and demonstrates the potential application of genomic medicine in a general patient population for the advancement of precision medicine.

Abstract
Pain is a biopsychosocial experience characterized by sensory, physiological, cognitive, affective, and behavioral components. Both acute and chronic pain can have short and long-term negative effects. Unfortunately, pain treatment is often inadequate. Guidelines and recommendations for a rational approach to pediatric pain frequently differ, and this may be one of the most important reasons for the poor attention frequently paid to pain treatment in children. This narrative review discusses the present knowledge in this regard. A literature review conducted on papers produced over the last 8 years showed that although in recent years, compared to the past, much progress has been made in the treatment of pain in the context of the pediatric emergency room, there is still a lot to do. There is a need to create guidelines that outline standardized and easy-to-follow pathways for pain recognition and management, which are also flexible enough to take into account differences in different contexts both in terms of drug availability and education of staff as well as of the different complexities of patients. It is essential to guarantee an approach to pain that is as uniform as possible among the pediatric population that limits, as much as possible, the inequalities related to ethnicity and language barriers.

PRECISION MEDICINE 2023; 1:e27. [PMID: 38550927 PMCID: PMC10953751 DOI: 10.1017/pcm.2023.16] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2023] [Revised: 06/09/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 04/12/2024]
Abstract
Humans operating in extreme environments often conduct their operations at the edges of the limits of human performance. Sometimes, they are required to push these limits to previously unattained levels. As a result, their margins for error in execution are much smaller than that found in the general public. These same small margins for error that impact execution may also impact risk, safety, health, and even survival. Thus, humans operating in extreme environments have a need for greater refinement in their preparation, training, fitness, and medical care. Precision medicine (PM) is uniquely suited to address the needs of those engaged in these extreme operations because of its depth of molecular analysis, derived precision countermeasures, and ability to match each individual (and his or her specific molecular phenotype) with any given operating context (environment). Herein, we present an overview of a systems approach to PM in extreme environments, which affords clinicians one method to contextualize the inputs, processes, and outputs that can form the basis of a formal practice. For the sake of brevity, this overview is focused on molecular dynamics, while providing only a brief introduction to the also important physiologic and behavioral phenotypes in PM. Moreover, rather than a full review, it highlights important concepts, while using only selected citations to illustrate those concepts. It further explores, by demonstration, the basic principles of using functionally characterized molecular networks to guide the practical application of PM in extreme environments. At its core, PM in extreme environments is about attention to incremental gains and losses in molecular network efficiency that can scale to produce notable changes in health and performance. The aim of this overview is to provide a conceptual overview of one approach to PM in extreme environments, coupled with a selected suite of practical considerations for molecular profiling and countermeasures.

Abstract
PURPOSE We describe the implementation of CYP2D6-focused pharmacogenetic testing to guide opioid prescribing in a quaternary care, nonprofit pediatric academic medical center. SUMMARY Children are often prescribed oral opioids after surgeries, for cancer pain, and occasionally for chronic pain. In 2004, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center implemented pharmacogenetic testing for CYP2D6 metabolism phenotype to inform codeine prescribing. The test and reports were updated to align with changes over time in the testing platform, the interpretation of genotype to phenotype, the electronic health record, and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance. The use of the test increased when a research project required testing and decreased as prescribing of oxycodone increased due to FDA warnings about codeine. Education about the opioid-focused pharmacogenetic test was provided to prescribers (eg, the pain and sickle cell teams) as well as patients and families. Education and electronic health record capability increased provider compliance with genotype-guided postsurgical prescribing of oxycodone, although there was a perceived lack of utility for oxycodone prescribing. CONCLUSION The implementation of pharmacogenetic testing to inform opioid prescribing for children has evolved with accumulating evidence and guidelines, requiring changes in reporting of results and recommendations.

Abstract
Haemodynamic, metabolic, and biochemical derangements in critically ill patients affect drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics making dose optimisation particularly challenging. Appropriate therapeutic dosing depends on the knowledge of the physiologic changes caused by the patient's comorbidities, underlying disease, resuscitation strategies, and polypharmacy. Critical illness will result in altered drug protein binding, ionisation, and volume of distribution; it will also decrease oral drug absorption, intestinal and hepatic metabolism, and renal clearance. In contrast, the resuscitation strategies and the use of vasoactive drugs may oppose these effects by leading to a hyperdynamic state that will increase blood flow towards the major organs including the brain, heart, kidneys, and liver, with the subsequent increase of drug hepatic metabolism and renal excretion. Metabolism is the main mechanism for drug clearance and is one of the main pharmacokinetic processes affected; it is influenced by patient-specific factors, such as comorbidities and genetics; therapeutic-specific factors, including drug characteristics and interactions; and disease-specific factors, like organ dysfunction. Moreover, organ support such as mechanical ventilation, renal replacement therapy, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation may contribute to both inter- and intra-patient variability of drug pharmacokinetics. The combination of these competing factors makes it difficult to predict drug response in critically ill patients. Pharmacotherapy targeted to therapeutic goals and therapeutic drug monitoring is currently the best option for the safe care of the critically ill. The aim of this paper is to review the alterations in drug pharmacokinetics associated with critical illness and to summarise the available evidence.

Abstract
The cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) is a key xenobiotic-metabolizing enzyme involved in the clearance of many drugs. Genetic polymorphisms in CYP2D6 contribute to the large inter-individual variability in drug metabolism and could affect metabolic phenotyping of CYP2D6 probe substances such as dextromethorphan (DXM). To study this question, we (i) established an extensive pharmacokinetics dataset for DXM; and (ii) developed and validated a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of DXM and its metabolites dextrorphan (DXO) and dextrorphan O-glucuronide (DXO-Glu) based on the data. Drug-gene interactions (DGI) were introduced by accounting for changes in CYP2D6 enzyme kinetics depending on activity score (AS), which in combination with AS for individual polymorphisms allowed us to model CYP2D6 gene variants. Variability in CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 activity was modeled based on in vitro data from human liver microsomes. Model predictions are in very good agreement with pharmacokinetics data for CYP2D6 polymorphisms, CYP2D6 activity as described by the AS system, and CYP2D6 metabolic phenotypes (UM, EM, IM, PM). The model was applied to investigate the genotype-phenotype association and the role of CYP2D6 polymorphisms for metabolic phenotyping using the urinary cumulative metabolic ratio (UCMR), DXM/(DXO + DXO-Glu). The effect of parameters on UCMR was studied via sensitivity analysis. Model predictions indicate very good robustness against the intervention protocol (i.e. application form, dosing amount, dissolution rate, and sampling time) and good robustness against physiological variation. The model is capable of estimating the UCMR dispersion within and across populations depending on activity scores. Moreover, the distribution of UCMR and the risk of genotype-phenotype mismatch could be estimated for populations with known CYP2D6 genotype frequencies. The model can be applied for individual prediction of UCMR and metabolic phenotype based on CYP2D6 genotype. Both, model and database are freely available for reuse.

Abstract
The current Dutch Pharmacogenetics Working Group (DPWG) guideline, describes the gene-drug interaction between CYP2D6 and the opioids codeine, tramadol and oxycodone. CYP2D6 genotype is translated into normal metaboliser (NM), intermediate metaboliser (IM), poor metaboliser (PM) or ultra-rapid metaboliser (UM). Codeine is contraindicated in UM adults if doses >20 mg every 6 h (q6h), in children ≥12 years if doses >10 mg q6h, or with additional risk factors. In PMs, an alternative analgesic should be given which is not or to a lesser extent metabolised by CYP2D6 (not tramadol). In IMs with insufficient analgesia, a higher dose or alternative analgesic should be given. For tramadol, the recommendations for IMs and PMs are the same as the recommendation for codeine and IMs. UMs should receive an alternative drug not or to a lesser extent metabolised by CYP2D6 or the dose should be decreased to 40% of the commonly prescribed dose. Due to the absence of effect on clinical outcomes of oxycodone in PMs, IMs and UMs no action is required. DPWG classifies CYP2D6 genotyping for codeine "beneficial" and recommends testing prior to, or shortly after initiation of treatment in case of higher doses or additional risk factors. CYP2D6 genotyping is classified as "potentially beneficial" for tramadol and can be considered on an individual patient basis.

Abstract
Long-read sequencing technology enable better characterization of structural variants (SVs). To adapt the technology to population-scale analyses, one critical issue is to obtain sufficient amount of high-molecular-weight genomic DNA. Here, we propose utilizing activated T lymphocytes, which can be established efficiently in a biobank to stably supply high-grade genomic DNA sufficiently. We conducted nanopore sequencing of 333 individuals constituting 111 trios with high-coverage long-read sequencing data (depth 22.2x, N50 of 25.8 kb) and identified 74,201 SVs. Our trio-based analysis revealed that more than 95% of the SVs were concordant with Mendelian inheritance. We also identified SVs associated with clinical phenotypes, all of which appear to be stably transmitted from parents to offspring. Our data provide a catalog of SVs in the general Japanese population, and the applied approach using the activated T-lymphocyte resource will contribute to biobank-based human genetic studies focusing on SVs at the population scale. Long-read sequencing on activated T-cells from a sample of 333 Japanese individuals (representing 111 parent-offspring trios) provides a useful reference dataset of structural variation in the Japanese population.

Abstract
The misuse of illicit substances, prescribed medications, and alcohol poses obvious health risks to afflicted individuals. When addressing these health risks, the overarching concerns generally relate to the direct effects that various substances can have on the functioning of multiple organ systems: cardiac, pulmonary, central nervous system, and others. What is not always evident, but potentially equally or even more dire, are the risks arising from drug-drug interactions involving illicit drugs and alcohol, whether with each other, or with prescribed medications. This review provides some basics that enable the reader to fruitfully approach the broad topic of drug-drug interactions.

Abstract
Providing effective acute pain management to hospitalized children can help improve outcomes, decrease length of stay, and increase patient and parental satisfaction. Error traps (circumstances that lead to erroneous actions or undesirable consequences) can result in inadequately controlled pain, unnecessary side effects, and adverse events. This article highlights five error traps encountered when managing acute pain in children. They include failure to appropriately assess pain, optimally utilize regional anesthesia, select suitable systemic analgesics, identify and treat medication-related side effects, and consider patient characteristics when choosing medication or dosing route. These issues are easily addressed when the clinician is cognizant of ways to anticipate, identify, and mitigate or avoid these errors.

Abstract
Background: Germline sequencing of individual genomes can detect alleles responsible for adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in relation to chemotherapy, targeted agents, antiemetics or pain treatment. Materials & methods: To evaluate the interest of such pharmacogenetic information, the authors retrospectively analyzed genes known to have an impact on cancer therapy in a cohort of 445 solid cancers patients. Results: Six patients treated with 5-fluorouracil carrying one DPYD variant classified as 1A showed decreased drug mean clearance (p = 0.01). Regarding CYP2D6, all patients (n = 5) with predicted CYP2D6 poor or ultra-rapid metabolizer status experienced adverse drug reactions related to opioid therapy. Conclusion: Genomic germline sequencing performed for theragnostic issues in patients with a solid tumor, can provide relevant information about common pharmacogenetic alleles.

Current research in pathophysiology of opioid induced respiratory depression. Curr Res Toxicol 2022; 3:100078. [PMID: 35734228 PMCID: PMC9207297 DOI: 10.1016/j.crtox.2022.100078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2022] [Revised: 05/20/2022] [Accepted: 06/01/2022] [Indexed: 01/29/2023] Open
Abstract
In Oprm1-deleted KO mice, both the preBötC and the KF/PBN are major contributors to OIRD but RD is not totally eliminated. PreBötC neurons expressing NK-1R are necessary for breathing. Their deletion results in ataxic breathing and/or apnoea. GIRK channels are involved in inhibiting respiration by mu opioid receptors. KCNQ channels modulate OIRD independent of mu signaling. Morphine depresses normal but not gasping breathing in rats indicating distinct mechanisms for these 2 forms of breathing. Methadone, given to alleviate symptoms of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome, desensitizes rats to respiratory depression.
Respiratory depression (RD) is the primary cause of death due to opioids. Opioids bind to mu (µ)-opioid receptors (MORs) encoded by the MOR gene Oprm1, widely expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems including centers that modulate breathing. Respiratory centers are located throughout the brainstem. Experiments with Oprm1-deleted knockout (KO) mice undertaken to determine which sites are necessary for the induction of opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD) showed that the pre-Bötzinger complex (preBötC) and the pontine Kölliker-Fuse nucleus (KF) contribute equally to OIRD but RD was not totally eliminated. Morphine showed a differential influence on preBötC and KF neurons – low doses attenuated RD following deletion of MORs from preBötC neurons and an increase in apneas after high doses whereas deletion of MORs from KF neurons but not the preBötC attenuated RD at both high and low doses. In other KO mice studies, morphine administration after deletion of Oprm1 from both the preBötC and the KF/PBN neurons, led to the conclusion that both respiratory centres contribute to OIRD but the preBötC predominates. MOR-mediated post-synaptic activation of GIRK potassium channels has been implicated as a cause of OIRD. A complementary mechanism in the preBötC involving KCNQ potassium channels independent of MOR signaling has been described. Recent experiments in rats showing that morphine depresses normal, but not gasping breathing, cast doubt on the belief that eupnea, sighs, and gasps, are under the control of preBötC neurons. Methadone, administered to alleviate symptoms of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWES), desensitized rats to OIRD. Protection lost between postnatal days 1 and 2 coincides with the preBötC becoming the dominant generator of respiratory rhythm. Neonatal antidepressant exposure syndrome (NADES) and serotonin toxicity (ST) show similarities including RD. Enzyme CYP2D6 involved in opioid detoxification is polymorphic. Individuals of different CYP2D6 genotype may show increased, decreased, or no enzyme activity, contributing to the variability of patient responses to different opioids and OIRD.

Abstract
The abuse of opioids has become one of the most serious concerns in the world. Opioid use can cause serious adverse reactions, including respiratory depression, postoperative nausea and vomiting, itching, and even death. These adverse reactions are also important complications of clinical application of opioid drugs that may affect patient safety and recovery. Due to the fear of adverse reactions of opioids, clinicians often do not dare to use opioids in an adequate or appropriate amount, thus affecting the clinical medication strategy and the quality of treatment for patients. The prediction of adverse reactions to opioids is one of the most concerned problems in clinical practice. At present, the correlation between gene polymorphism and the efficacy of opiates has been widely studied and preliminarily confirmed, but the research on the effect of gene polymorphism on the adverse reactions of opiates is relatively limited. Existing studies have made encouraging progress in predicting the incidence and severity of adverse opioid reactions and clinical management by using genetic testing, but most of these studies are single-center, small-sample clinical studies or animal experiments, which have strong limitations. When the same receptor or enzyme is studied by different experimental methods, different or even opposite conclusions can be drawn. These phenomena indicate that the correlation between gene polymorphism and adverse opioid reaction still needs further research and demonstration. At present, it is still too early to use genetic testing to predict opioid adverse reactions in clinic. In this paper, the correlation between gene polymorphism and adverse opioid reactions and a small number of clinical applications were reviewed in terms of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, in order to provide some suggestions for future research and clinical drug decision making.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Opioids play a fundamental role in chronic pain, especially considering when 1 of 5 Europeans adults, even more in older females, suffer from it. However, half of them do not reach an adequate pain relief. Could pharmacogenomics help to choose the most appropriate analgesic drug? AREAS COVERED The objective of the present narrative review was to assess the influence of cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) phenotypes on pain relief, analgesic tolerability, and potential opioid misuse. Until December 2021, a literature search was conducted through the MEDLINE, PubMed database, including papers from the last 10 years. CYP2D6 plays a major role in metabolism that directly impacts on opioid (tramadol, codeine, or oxycodone) concentration with differences between sexes, with a female trend toward poorer pain control. In fact, CYP2D6 gene variants are the most actionable to be translated into clinical practice according to regulatory drug agencies and international guidelines. EXPERT OPINION CYP2D6 genotype can influence opioids' pharmacokinetics, effectiveness, side effects, and average opioid dose. This knowledge needs to be incorporated in pain management. Environmental factors, psychological together with genetic factors, under a sex perspective, must be considered when you are selecting the most personalized pain therapy for your patients.

Genetic and Clinical Factors Associated with Opioid Response in Chinese Han Patients with Cancer Pain: An Exploratory Cross-Sectional Study. Pain Ther 2022; 11:269-288.

Abstract
Introduction Studies have shown that genetic variation and environmental factors are associated with individual differences in therapeutic efficacy and side effects of opioids. However, the focus of these studies has been on a single factor of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or haplotypes, for which results have rarely been validated. For complex traits, such as cancer pain and opioid response, interactions between multiple genetic variation and environmental factors need to be considered to explain the opioid individual differences. Methods We conducted an exploratory two-stage cross-sectional study with 1027 Chinese patients who were taking strong opioid medications for their cancer pain, and genotyped 110 SNPs to explore the association of SNPs, haplotypes, gene–gene and gene–environment interactions with opioid dose, pain relief, and opioid-induced constipation. Results Due to the failure to meet Benjamini–Hochberg criteria in the discovery stage or to be validated in replication stage, no association was found between SNPs, haplotypes, paired SNP–SNP interactions or multi-dimensional gene–gene interactions and opioid response. However, for gene–environment interactions, optimal models have been constructed in all phenotypes of opioid response. Conclusions This study reveals for the first time that construction of multidimensional gene–environment interactions enables better interpretations of the effect of genetic variation and environmental factors on the opioid response in patients with cancer pain.

Abstract
MOTIVATION Identifying sample mix-ups in biobanks is essential to allow the repurposing of genetic data for clinical pharmacogenetics. Pharmacogenetic advice based on the genetic information of another individual is potentially harmful. Existing methods for identifying mix-ups are limited to datasets in which additional omics data (e.g. gene expression) is available. Cohorts lacking such data can only use sex, which can reveal only half of the mix-ups. Here, we describe Idéfix, a method for the identification of accidental sample mix-ups in biobanks using polygenic scores. RESULTS In the Lifelines population-based biobank, we calculated polygenic scores (PGSs) for 25 traits for 32 786 participants. We then applied Idéfix to compare the actual phenotypes to PGSs, and to use the relative discordance that is expected for mix-ups, compared to correct samples. In a simulation, using induced mix-ups, Idéfix reaches an AUC of 0.90 using 25 polygenic scores and sex. This is a substantial improvement over using only sex, which has an AUC of 0.75. Subsequent simulations present Idéfix's potential in varying datasets with more powerful PGSs. This suggests its performance will likely improve when more highly powered GWASs for commonly measured traits will become available. Idéfix can be used to identify a set of high-quality participants for whom it is very unlikely that they reflect sample mix-ups, and for these participants we can use genetic data for clinical purposes, such as pharmacogenetic profiles. For instance, in Lifelines, we can select 34.4% of participants, reducing the sample mix-up rate from 0.15% to 0.01%. AVAILABILITYAND IMPLEMENTATION Idéfix is freely available at https://github.com/molgenis/systemsgenetics/wiki/Idefix. The individual-level data that support the findings were obtained from the Lifelines biobank under project application number ov16_0365. Data is made available upon reasonable request submitted to the LifeLines Research office (research@lifelines.nl, https://www.lifelines.nl/researcher/how-to-apply/apply-here).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several opioids have pharmacogenomic associations impacting analgesic efficacy. However, germline pharmacogenomic testing is not routinely incorporated into supportive oncology. We hypothesized that CYP2D6 profiling would correlate with opioid prescribing and hospitalizations. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed 61,572 adult oncology patients from 2012 to 2018 for opioid exposures. CYP2D6 metabolizer phenotype (ultra-rapid [UM], normal metabolizer [NM], intermediate [IM], or poor [PM]), the latter two of which may cause inefficacy of codeine, tramadol, and standard-dose hydrocodone, was determined for patients genotyped for reasons unrelated to pain. The primary endpoint was number of opioid medications received during longitudinal care (IM/PMs vs. NMs). Secondary endpoint was likelihood of pain-related hospital encounters. RESULTS Most patients with cancer (n = 34,675, 56%) received multiple opioids (average 2.8 ± 1.6/patient). Hydrocodone was most commonly prescribed (62%), followed by tramadol, oxycodone, and codeine. In the CYP2D6 genotyped cohort (n = 105), IM/PMs received a similar number of opioids (3.4 ± 1.4) as NMs (3.3 ± 1.9). However, IM/PMs were significantly more likely to experience pain-related hospital encounters compared with NMs, independent of other variables (odds ratio [OR] = 5.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2-23.6; p = .03). IM/PMs were also more likely to be treated with later-line opioids that do not require CYP2D6 metabolism, such as morphine and hydromorphone (OR = 3.3; 95% CI, 1.1-9.8; p = .03). CONCLUSION CYP2D6 genotype may identify patients with cancer at increased risk for inadequate analgesia when treated with typical first-line opioids like codeine, tramadol, or standard-dose hydrocodone. Palliative care considerations are an integral part of optimal oncology care, and these findings justify prospective evaluation of preemptive genotyping as a strategy to improve oncology pain management. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Genomic variation in metabolic enzymes can predispose individuals to inefficacy when receiving opioid pain medications. Patients with intermediate and/or poor CYP2D6 metabolizer status do not adequately convert codeine, tramadol, and hydrocodone into active compounds, with resulting increased risk of inadequate analgesia. This study showed that patients with cancer frequently receive CYP2D6-dependent opioids. However, patients with CYP2D6 intermediate and poor metabolizer status had increased numbers of pain-related hospitalizations and more frequently required the potent non-CYP2D6 opioids morphine and hydromorphone. This may reflect inadequate initial analgesia with the common "first-line" CYP2D6-metabolized opioids. Preemptive genotyping to guide opioid prescribing during cancer care may improve pain-related patient outcomes.

Abstract
Opioids were the most common drug class resulting in overdose deaths in the United States in 2019. Widespread clinical use of prescription opioids for moderate to severe pain contributed to the ongoing opioid epidemic with the subsequent emergence of fentanyl-laced heroin. More potent analogues of fentanyl and structurally diverse opioid receptor agonists such as AH-7921 and MT-45 are fueling an increasingly diverse illicit opioid supply. Overdose from synthetic opioids with high binding affinities may not respond to a typical naloxone dose, thereby rendering autoinjectors less effective, requiring higher antagonist doses or resulting in a confusing clinical picture for health care providers. Nonscheduled opioid drugs such as loperamide and dextromethorphan are associated with dependence and risk of overdose as easier access makes them attractive to opioid users. Despite a common opioid-mediated pathway, several opioids present with unique pharmacodynamic properties leading to acute toxicity and dependence development. Pharmacokinetic considerations involve half-life of the parent opioid and its metabolites as well as resulting toxicity, as is established for tramadol, codeine, and oxycodone. Pharmacokinetic considerations, toxicities, and treatment approaches for notable opioids are reviewed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Guidelines regarding whether tamoxifen should be prescribed based on women's cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) genotypes are conflicting and have caused confusion. This study aims to investigate if CYP2D6 metabolizer status is associated with tamoxifen-related endocrine symptoms, tamoxifen discontinuation, and mammographic density change. PATIENTS AND METHODS We used data from 1440 healthy women who participated the KARISMA dose determination trial. Endocrine symptoms were measured using a modified Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Endocrine Symptoms (FACT-ES) questionnaire. Change in mammographic density was measured and used as a proxy for tamoxifen response. Participants were genotyped and categorized as poor, intermediate, normal, or ultrarapid CYP2D6 metabolizers. RESULTS The median endoxifen level per mg oral tamoxifen among poor, intermediate, normal and ultrarapid CYP2D6 metabolizers were 0.18 ng/ml, 0.38 ng/ml, 0.56 ng/ml and 0.67 ng/ml, respectively. Ultrarapid CYP2D6 metabolizers were more likely than other groups to report a clinically relevant change in cold sweats, hot flash, mood swings, being irritable, as well as the overall modified FACT-ES score, after taking tamoxifen. The 6-month tamoxifen discontinuation rates among poor, intermediate, normal, and ultrarapid CYP2D6 metabolizers were 25.7%, 23.6%, 28.6%, and 44.4%, respectively. Among those who continued and finished the 6-month tamoxifen intervention, the mean change in dense area among poor, intermediate, normal, and ultrarapid CYP2D6 metabolizers were -0.8 cm2, -4.5 cm2, -4.1 cm2, and -8.0 cm2 respectively. CONCLUSIONS Poor CYP2D6 metabolizers are likely to experience an impaired response to tamoxifen, measured through mammographic density reduction. In contrast, ultrarapid CYP2D6 metabolizers are at risk for exaggerated response with pronounced adverse effects that may lead to treatment discontinuation.

Genetic Testing for Antipsychotic Pharmacotherapy: Bench to Bedside. Behav Sci (Basel) 2021; 11:bs11070097.

Abstract
There is growing research interest in learning the genetic basis of response and adverse effects with psychotropic medications, including antipsychotic drugs. However, the clinical utility of information from genetic studies is compromised by their controversial results, primarily due to relatively small effect and sample sizes. Clinical, demographic, and environmental differences in patient cohorts further explain the lack of consistent results from these genetic studies. Furthermore, the availability of psychopharmacological expertise in interpreting clinically meaningful results from genetic assays has been a challenge, one that often results in suboptimal use of genetic testing in clinical practice. These limitations explain the difficulties in the translation of psychopharmacological research in pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics from bench to bedside to manage increasingly treatment-refractory psychiatric disorders, especially schizophrenia. Although these shortcomings question the utility of genetic testing in the general population, the commercially available genetic assays are being increasingly utilized to optimize the effectiveness of psychotropic medications in the treatment-refractory patient population, including schizophrenia. In this context, patients with treatment-refractory schizophrenia are among of the most vulnerable patients to be exposed to the debilitating adverse effects from often irrational and high-dose antipsychotic polypharmacy without clinically meaningful benefits. The primary objective of this comprehensive review is to analyze and interpret replicated findings from the genetic studies to identify specific genetic biomarkers that could be utilized to enhance antipsychotic efficacy and tolerability in the treatment-refractory schizophrenia population.

Abstract
Pharmacogenetic research has resulted in the identification of a multitude of genetic variants that impact drug response or toxicity. These polymorphisms are mostly common and have been included as actionable information in the labels of numerous drugs. In addition to common variants, recent advances in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies have resulted in the identification of a plethora of rare and population-specific pharmacogenetic variations with unclear functional consequences that are not accessible by conventional forward genetics strategies. In this review, we discuss how comprehensive sequencing information can be translated into personalized pharmacogenomic advice in the age of NGS. Specifically, we provide an update of the functional impacts of rare pharmacogenetic variability and how this information can be leveraged to improve pharmacogenetic guidance. Furthermore, we critically discuss the current status of implementation of pharmacogenetic testing across drug development and layers of care. We identify major gaps and provide perspectives on how these can be minimized to optimize the utilization of NGS data for personalized clinical decision-support.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Overuse and misuse of opioids is a continuing crisis. The most common reason for children to receive opioids is postoperative pain, and they are often prescribed more than needed. The amount of opioids prescribed varies widely, even for minor ambulatory procedures. This study uses a large national sample to describe filled opioid prescriptions to preteen patients after all ambulatory surgical procedures and common standard procedures. METHODS We analyzed Truven Health MarketScan data for July 2012 through December 2016 to perform descriptive analyses of opioid fills by age and geographic area, change over time, second opioid fills in opioid-naïve patients, and variation in the types and amount of medication prescribed for 18 common and standard procedures in otolaryngology, urology, general surgery, ophthalmology, and orthopedics. RESULTS Over 10% of preteen children filled perioperative opioid prescriptions for ambulatory surgery in the period 2012 to 2016. The amount prescribed varied widely (median 5 days' supply, IQR 3-8, range 1-90), even for the most minor procedures, for example, frenotomy (median 4 days' supply, IQR 2-5, range 1-60). Codeine fills were common despite safety concerns. Second opioid prescriptions were filled by opioid-naïve patients after almost all procedures studied. The rate of prescribing declined significantly over time and varied substantially by age and across census regions. CONCLUSIONS We identified opioid prescribing outside of the norms of standard practice in all of the specialties studied. Standardizing perioperative opioid prescribing and developing guidelines on appropriate prescribing for children may reduce the opioids available for misuse and diversion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prevention and treatment of postoperative pain after craniotomy in pediatric patients is an open and challenging clinical problem due to limited epidemiological data and significant concerns on safety of the most common analgesics in neurosurgical patients. We reviewed the literature to evaluate the possible available strategies in pain management in pediatric patients. METHODS The systematic review was performed in accordance with PRISMA statement recommendations. PUBMED, EMBASE and Scopus databases were queried. Inclusion criteria were: randomized controlled trials, prospective and retrospective observational studies published before 2020 and reported postoperative pain management after craniotomy (i.e. including studies accomplished after craniotomy, craniectomy and reconstructive surgery) in children population (neonates to 18 years old). RESULTS A total of 11 studies - 4 randomized controlled, 5 prospective observational and 2 retrospective met criteria for inclusion. The selected studies reported data from a total of 1077 patients, with age ranging between neonates to 18 years, 52% male and 48% female. Opioids are still the most commonly used drugs. Paracetamol and NSAIDs are frequently used as adjuvants to reduce postoperative opioid requirements. Data on potential hypocoagulation due to the antiplatelet effect of NSAIDs are lacking. Selective scalp block provides lower pain scores in early postoperative period. CONCLUSION Clinical evidence on prevention and treatment of postoperative pain in pediatric patients undergone craniotomy is still sparse. Available data prove that a multimodal approach, realized as the use a combination of opioids, paracetamol/NSAIDs and regional anesthesia, is effective and rarely associate with complications.

Abstract
Aim: This study investigated major allelic variants of CYP2D6, CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 in Egyptians, an Arabic population for which there is little information regarding these important pharmacogenes. Patients & methods: CYP2D6*2, *4, *5, *10, *41 and gene copy number variation, as well as CYP3A4*22 and CYP3A5*3 were determined with commercially available TaqMan assays in 145 healthy study participants. Results: The CYP2D6 alleles identified suggest that the prevalence of poor metabolizers is low as none were found among the 145 subjects investigated. The frequency for CYP3A5 nonexpressers was 74.5% and the CYP3A4*22 allele frequency was low at 2.0%. Conclusion: These preliminary findings indicate that pharmacogene variation in Egyptians is different from those of other Middle Eastern/Arabic populations and warrants further investigation.

Abstract
The worlds of chronic pain and addiction continue to intersect too often in many ways. Chronic pain significantly impairs and disrupts the quality of life of millions of people worldwide. Opioids remain the most prescribed pharmacotherapy offered to patients to alleviate chronic pain. The extensive and often unnecessary prescription of opioids has created a surge in the prevalence of opioid use disorders and opioid overdose-related deaths. In this brief review, we aim to provide a bench-to-bedside overview of promising biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and challenges related to treating patients with chronic pain. We hope this review will inspire new opportunities and insights into the development of novel, nonaddictive treatments for chronic pain that will be available to patients in the near future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To provide an overview of clinical recommendations regarding genomic medicine relating to pain management and opioid use disorder. DATA SOURCES A literature review was conducted using the search terms pain management, pharmacogenomics, pharmacogenetics, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and opioids on PubMed (inception to February 1, 2021), CINAHL (2016 through February 1, 2021), and EMBASE (inception through February 1, 2021). STUDY SELECTION AND DATA EXTRACTION All relevant clinical trials, review articles, package inserts, and guidelines evaluating applicable pharmacogenotypes were considered for inclusion. DATA SYNTHESIS More than 300 Food and Drug Administration-approved medications contain pharmacogenomic information in their labeling. Genetic variability may alter the therapeutic effects of commonly prescribed pain medications. Pharmacogenomic-guided therapy continues to gain traction in clinical practice, but a multitude of barriers to widespread pharmacogenomic implementation exist. RELEVANCE TO PATIENT CARE AND CLINICAL PRACTICE Pain is notoriously difficult to treat given the need to balance safety and efficacy when selecting pharmacotherapy. Pharmacogenomic data can help optimize outcomes for patients with pain. With improved technological advances, more affordable testing, and a better understanding of genomic variants resulting in treatment disparities, pharmacogenomics continues to gain popularity. Unfortunately, despite these and other advancements, pharmacogenomic testing and implementation remain underutilized and misunderstood in clinical care, in part because of a lack of health care professionals trained in assessing and implementing test results. CONCLUSIONS A one-size-fits-all approach to pain management is inadequate and outdated. With increasing genomic data and pharmacogenomic understanding, patient-specific genomic testing offers a comprehensive and personalized treatment alternative worthy of additional research and consideration.

Abstract
Oxycodone is a semisynthetic μ- and κ-opioid receptor with agonist with a broad scope of use including postoperative analgesia as well as control of neuropathic and cancer pain. Advantages over other opioids include prolonged duration of action, greater potency than morphine and lack of histamine release or ceiling effect. Individual responses to oxycodone can vary due to genetic differences. This review article aims to summarize the oxycodone literature and provide context on its pharmacogenomics and pharmacokinetics. The evidence for clinical effect of genetic polymorphisms on oxycodone is conflicting. There is stronger evidence linking polymorphic genetic enzymes CYP2D6 and CYP3A with therapeutic outcomes. Further, research is needed to discern all of oxycodone's metabolites and their contribution to the overall analgesic effect.

Abstract
Background In humans, the drug metabolizing enzyme CYP2D6 is highly polymorphic resulting in substantial differences in the metabolism of drugs including anti-arrhythmics, neuroleptics, and opioids. The objective of this study was to phenotype a population of 100 horses from five different breeds and assess differences in the metabolic activity of the equine CYP2D6 homolog using codeine as a probe drug. Administration of a probe drug is a common method used for patient phenotyping in human medicine, whereby the ratio of parent drug to metabolite (metabolic ratio, MR) can be used to compare relative enzyme function between individuals. A single oral dose of codeine (0.6 mg/kg) was administered and plasma concentrations of codeine and its metabolites were determined using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. The MR of codeine O-demethylation [(codeine)/(morphine + morphine-3-glucuronide + morphine-6-glucuronide)] was determined using the area under the plasma concentration-time curve extrapolated from time zero to infinity (AUC0-∞) for each analyte and used to group horses into predicted phenotypes (high-, moderate-, and low-MR). Results The MR of codeine O-demethylation ranged from 0.002 to 0.147 (median 0.018) among all horses. No significant difference in MR was observed between breeds, age, or sex. Of the 100 horses, 11 were classified as high-MR, 72 moderate-MR, and 17 low-MR. Codeine AUC0-∞ and O-demethylation MR were significantly different (p < 0.05) between all three groups. The mean ± SD MR was 0.089 ± 0.027, 0.022 ± 0.011, and 0.0095 ± 0.001 for high-, moderate-, and low-MR groups, respectively. The AUC for the morphine metabolites morphine-3-glucuronide and morphine-6-glucuronide were significantly different between high-and low-MR groups (p < 0.004 and p < 0.006). Conclusions The MR calculated from plasma following codeine administration allowed for classification of horses into metabolic phenotypes within a large population. The range of codeine metabolism observed among horses suggests the presence of genetic polymorphisms in CYP2D82 of which codeine is a known substrate. Additional studies including CYP2D82 genotyping of high- and low-MR individuals are necessary to determine the presence of CYP2D polymorphisms and their functional implications with respect to the metabolism of therapeutics.

Abstract
Opioids are mainly used to treat both acute and chronic pain. Several opioids are metabolized to some extent by CYP2D6 (codeine, tramadol, hydrocodone, oxycodone, and methadone). Polymorphisms in CYP2D6 have been studied for an association with the clinical effect and safety of these drugs. Other genes that have been studied for their association with opioid clinical effect or adverse events include OPRM1 (mu receptor) and COMT (catechol-O-methyltransferase). This guideline updates and expands the 2014 Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) guideline for CYP2D6 genotype and codeine therapy and includes a summation of the evidence describing the impact of CYP2D6, OPRM1, and COMT on opioid analgesia and adverse events. We provide therapeutic recommendations for the use of CYP2D6 genotype results for prescribing codeine and tramadol and describe the limited and/or weak data for CYP2D6 and hydrocodone, oxycodone, and methadone, and for OPRM1 and COMT for clinical use.

Influence of cytochrome P450 2D6 polymorphism on hippocampal white matter and treatment response in schizophrenia. NPJ SCHIZOPHRENIA 2021; 7:5. [PMID: 33514751 PMCID: PMC7846743 DOI: 10.1038/s41537-020-00134-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2020] [Accepted: 11/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) is expressed at high levels in the brain and plays a considerable role in the biotransformation and neurotransmission of dopamine. This raises the question of whether CYP2D6 variations and its impact on the brain can confer susceptibility to schizophrenia. We investigated the possible links among the CYP2D6 genotype, white matter (WM) integrity of the hippocampus, and the treatment response to antipsychotic drugs in Korean patients with schizophrenia (n = 106). Brain magnetic resonance imaging and genotyping for CYP2D6 were conducted at baseline. The severity of clinical symptoms and the treatment response were assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). After genotyping, 43 participants were classified as intermediate metabolizers (IM), and the remainder (n = 63) were classified as extensive metabolizers (EM). IM participants showed significantly higher fractional anisotropy (FA) values in the right hippocampus compared to EM participants. Radial diffusivity (RD) values were significantly lower in the overlapping region of the right hippocampus in the IM group than in the EM group. After 4 weeks of antipsychotic treatment, the EM group showed more improvements in positive symptoms than the IM group. FAs and RDs in the CYP2D6-associated hippocampal WM region were significantly correlated with a reduction in the positive symptom subscale of the PANSS. Greater improvements in positive symptoms were negatively associated with FAs, and positively associated with RDs in the right hippocampal region. The findings suggest that CYP26D-associated hippocampal WM alterations could be a possible endophenotype for schizophrenia that accounts for individual differences in clinical features and treatment responses.

Effects of the FDA Codeine Safety Investigation on Racial and Geographic Disparities in Opioid Prescribing after Pediatric Tonsillectomy and/or Adenoidectomy. Glob Pediatr Health 2021; 8:2333794X20987444. [PMID: 33506076 PMCID: PMC7812397 DOI: 10.1177/2333794x20987444] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2020] [Revised: 11/23/2020] [Accepted: 12/18/2020] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective. Our objective was to examine the impact of the U.S. FDA’s 2013 black box warning against codeine on codeine and other opioid prescription filling after pediatric tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy (T/A) overall and by child race and provider urbanity/rurality. Methods. Patients ≤ 18 who underwent T/A in 8/2011 to 8/2016 were identified in Ohio Medicaid claims. Interrupted time series analyses were used to evaluate the impact of the FDA warning on codeine or other opioid prescription filling post-T/A. Results. In August 2011, codeine prescription filling was lower among black than white children (P < .001) and among children treated at institutions in metropolitan counties than less populous counties (P < .001). The FDA warning was associated with a 24.0% drop in codeine prescription filling (P < .001) and 5.5% increase in alternative opioid prescription filling (P = .046). At conclusion, there remained geographic but no longer racial disparities in codeine prescribing. Conclusion. Codeine prescribing after pediatric T/A decreased after the FDA’s black box warning. However, geographic disparities in codeine prescribing remain.

Abstract
Guidance regarding the effect of codeine and its metabolites on foetal development is limited by small studies and inconsistent findings. The primary objective was to use physiologically based pharmacokinetic modelling to investigate the impact of gestational stage and maternal CYP2D6 phenotype on foetal morphine exposure following codeine administration. Full body physiologically based pharmacokinetic models were developed and verified for codeine and morphine using Simcyp (version 19.1). The impact of gestational age and maternal CYP2D6 phenotype on foetal and maternal morphine and codeine exposure following oral codeine administration was modelled in a cohort of 250 pregnant females and foetuses at gestational weeks 0 (mothers only), 6, 12, 24 and 36. Consistent with the known effect on codeine metabolism, a clinically meaningful (> 1.65-fold) increase in foetal morphine AUC was observed in the CYP2D6 UM phenotype cohort compared to the CYP2D6 EM and PM phenotype cohorts. The mean (95% CI) foetal morphine AUC in the CYP2D6 UM cohort of 0.988 (0.902 to 1.073) ng/mL.h was 1.8-fold higher than the CYP2D6 EM cohort of 0.546 (0.492 to 0.600) ng/mL.h (p < 0.001). Despite a 2.8-fold increase in maternal CYP2D6 protein abundance between gestational weeks 6 and 36, the mean foetal morphine AUC in the CYP2D6 EM and UM phenotype cohorts reduced by 1.55- and 1.75-fold, respectively, over this period. Maternal CYP2D6 phenotype is a significant determinant of foetal morphine AUC. Simulations suggest that the greatest risk with respect to foetal morphine exposure is during the first trimester of pregnancy, particularly in CYP2D6 UM phenotype mothers.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 3A4 is a highly polymorphic enzyme and metabolizes approximately 40%-60% of therapeutic drugs. Its genetic polymorphism may significantly affect the expression and function of CYP3A4 resulting in alterations of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the CYP3A4-mediated drugs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the catalytic activities of 30 CYP3A4 nonsynonymous variants and wild type toward oxycodone in vitro. CYP3A4 proteins were incubated with oxycodone for 30 min at 37 °C and the reaction was terminated by cooling to -80 °C immediately. Ultraperformance liquid chromatography tandem mass-spectrometry was used to analyze noroxycodone, and kinetic parameters Km, Vmax, and intrinsic clearance (Vmax/Km) of noroxycodone were also determined. Compared with CYP3A4.1, 24 CYP3A4 variants (CYP3A4.2-.5, -.7-.16, -.18 and -.19, -.23 and -.24, -.28 and -.29, and -.31-.34) exhibited significantly decreased relative clearance values (from 4.82% ± 0.31% to 80.98% ± 5.08%), whereas CYP3A4.6, -.17, -.20, -.21, -.26, and -.30 displayed no detectable enzyme activity. As the first study of these alleles for oxycodone metabolism in vitro, results of this study may provide insight into establishing the genotype-phenotype relationship for oxycodone and serve as a reference for clinical administrators and advance the provision of personalized precision medicine.

Abstract
The efficacy, safety, and tolerability of drugs are dependent on numerous factors that influence their disposition. A dose that is efficacious and safe for one individual may result in sub-therapeutic or toxic blood concentrations in others. A significant source of this variability in drug response is drug metabolism, where differences in presystemic and systemic biotransformation efficiency result in variable degrees of systemic exposure (e.g., AUC, Cmax, and/or Cmin) following administration of a fixed dose.Interindividual differences in drug biotransformation have been studied extensively. It is recognized that both intrinsic factors (e.g., genetics, age, sex, and disease states) and extrinsic factors (e.g., diet , chemical exposures from the environment, and the microbiome) play a significant role. For drug-metabolizing enzymes, genetic variation can result in the complete absence or enhanced expression of a functional enzyme. In addition, upregulation and downregulation of gene expression, in response to an altered cellular environment, can achieve the same range of metabolic function (phenotype), but often in a less predictable and time-dependent manner. Understanding the mechanistic basis for variability in drug disposition and response is essential if we are to move beyond the era of empirical, trial-and-error dose selection and into an age of personalized medicine that will improve outcomes in maintaining health and treating disease.

Abstract
Pharmacogenomics (PGx) is the knowledge of diverse drug responses and effects in people, based on their genomic profiles. Such information is considered as one of the main directions to reach personalized medicine in future clinical practices. Since the start of applying next generation sequencing (NGS) methods in drug related clinical investigations, many common medicines found their genetic data for the related metabolizing/shipping proteins in the human body. Yet, the employing of technology is accompanied by big obtained data, which most of them have no clear guidelines for consideration in routine treatment decisions for patients. This review article talks about different types of NGS derived PGx variants in clinical studies and try to display the current and newly developed approaches to deal with pharmacogenetic data with/without clear guidelines for considering in clinical settings.

Abstract
With a worldwide obesity pandemic, the incidence of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is increasing; obesity is the most significant risk factor in children. Increasing evidence suggests that OSA is in part mediated through markers of inflammation. Systemic and pulmonary hypertension, right ventricular hypertrophy, prediabetes, and other conditions are common. Adenotonsillectomy improves only ~70% of children; 30% require other interventions, e.g. weight loss programs. The gold standard for diagnosis is a sleep-polysomnogram which are expensive and not readily available. The McGill oximetry score (saw-tooth desaturations during obstruction and arousal) is more cost-effective.
Repeated episodes of desaturation alter the opioid receptors such that analgesia is achieved at much lower levels of opioid than in patients undergoing the same procedure but without OSA. This response is of great concern because a standard dose of opioids may be a relative overdose.
Polymorphism variations in cytochrome CYP2D6 have major effects upon drug efficacy and side effects. Codeine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, and tramadol are all prodrugs that require CYP2D6 for conversion to the active compound. CYP2D6 is quite variable and patients can be divided into 4 classes: For codeine for example, poor metaboliser (PM) have virtually no conversion to morphine, intermediate metabolisers (IM) have some conversion to morphine, extensive metabolisers (EM) have a normal rate of conversion to morphine, and ultra-rapid metabolisers (RM) convert excessive amounts of codeine to morphine. Such variations result in some patients achieving no analgesia because there is reduced conversion to the active moiety whereas others convert an excessive amount of drug to the active compound thus resulting in relative or actual overdose despite appropriate dosing.
Thus, OSA patients may have both opioid sensitivity due to recurrent desaturations and altered drug metabolism resulting in higher than intended blood levels of opioid. OSA patients should only receive one-third to half the usual dose of opioid. In those under the age of six, an effort should be made to avoid opioids altogether and use opioid sparing techniques such as alternating acetaminophen and ibuprofen.

Abstract
Most of the prescribing and dispensing of medicines happens in primary care. Pharmacogenomics (PGx) is the study and clinical application of the role of genetic variation on drug response. Mounting evidence suggests PGx can improve the safety and/or efficacy of several medications commonly prescribed in primary care. However, implementation of PGx has generally been limited to a relatively few academic hospital centres, with little adoption in primary care. Despite this, many primary healthcare providers are optimistic about the role of PGx in their future practice. The increasing prevalence of direct-to-consumer genetic testing and primary care PGx studies herald the plausible gradual introduction of PGx into primary care and highlight the changes needed for optimal translation. In this article, the potential utility of PGx in primary care will be explored and on-going barriers to implementation discussed. The evidence base of several drug-gene pairs relevant to primary care will be outlined with a focus on antidepressants, codeine and tramadol, statins, clopidogrel, warfarin, metoprolol and allopurinol. This review is intended to provide both a general introduction to PGx with a more in-depth overview of elements relevant to primary care.
