Genetic variations in drug-related genes significantly impact how individuals respond to medications. Understanding these functional polymorphisms is key to personalized drug therapy and explaining human phenotypic variability.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacogenomics
  • Human Genetics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Functional genetic polymorphisms influence human phenotypic variability and drug response.
  • Regulatory sequence variants are frequently implicated in altered gene function.
  • Identifying functional polymorphisms presents ongoing challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey known noncoding polymorphisms in key drug-related genes.
  • To discuss current methods and challenges in identifying functional polymorphisms.
  • To highlight the importance of understanding genetic variants for personalized medicine.

Main Methods:

  • In silico and experimental methods for polymorphism identification.
  • Survey of polymorphisms in cytochrome P450s, drug-metabolizing enzymes, transporters, and receptors.

  • Analysis of gene expression and mRNA processing alterations.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant portion of genetic variability remains unexplained.
    • Most drug-related genes contain known regulatory polymorphisms.
    • Some polymorphisms impact mRNA splicing and turnover.

    Conclusions:

    • A comprehensive understanding of functional sequence variants in critical genes is essential for optimizing individual drug therapy.
    • Functional polymorphisms play a crucial role in drug response and phenotypic variation.
    • Further research is needed to fully characterize genetic polymorphisms affecting drug metabolism and action.
