Principles of Pharmacogenetics: Types of Genetic Variants

119
The human genome is over 99.9% identical between individuals, yet genetic differences exist at millions of bases. The human genome contains approximately 3 million variant positions per individual, many of which are heterozygous, contributing to genetic diversity and individual traits. Genetic variations include single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions, deletions, and copy number variations (CNVs).SNPs, the most common variation, involve single-base changes in DNA. These can be...

Pharmacogenetic Phenotypes: Alterations in Pharmacokinetics, Drug Targets and Biologic Milieu

129
Genetic variations significantly influence drug response through pharmacokinetics, receptor interactions, and biologic milieu modifications. Pharmacokinetic alterations impact drug metabolism and clearance, affecting efficacy and toxicity. Variants in drug-metabolizing enzymes, such as CYP2C9 and CYP2C19, alter drug activation and elimination. For example, CYP2C9 loss-of-function variants require lower warfarin doses to prevent excessive bleeding, while CYP2C19 variants reduce clopidogrel...

Pleiotropy01:33

Pleiotropy

44.3K
Pleiotropy is the phenomenon in which a single gene impacts multiple, seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits. For example, defects in the SOX10 gene cause Waardenburg Syndrome Type 4, or WS4, which can cause defects in pigmentation, hearing impairments, and an absence of intestinal contractions necessary for elimination. This diversity of phenotypes results from the expression pattern of SOX10 in early embryonic and fetal development. SOX10 is found in neural crest cells that form melanocytes,...

Pharmacogenomics: Identification of New Drug Targets

94
Advances in genomics have profoundly influenced drug discovery by increasing both the speed and accuracy of pharmaceutical development. Pharmacogenomics, which examines how genetic variation influences drug response, facilitates the identification of novel therapeutic targets and enables patient stratification for personalized treatment. These strategies contribute to improved drug efficacy, minimized adverse effects, and more efficient clinical trial design.Mapping genetic differences...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Genetics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • The peripherin-2 (PRPH2) gene is crucial for photoreceptor outer segment development and maintenance.
  • Mutations in PRPH2 are associated with various forms of macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa.
  • Over 90 disease-causing PRPH2 mutations have been documented.

Observation:

  • A retrospective study of 3 patients with PRPH2-associated maculopathy was conducted.
  • Patients underwent comprehensive ophthalmological examinations, including imaging and electrophysiology.
  • Genetic analysis focused on PRPH2 and other retinal disease-associated genes.

Findings:

  • All patients presented with clinically evident maculopathy and reduced visual acuity.
  • Autosomal dominant PRPH2 mutations were identified in all cases.
  • A novel PRPH2 deletion and frameshift mutation (c.74_77delGGTT, p.W25SfsX12) was described, alongside a known missense mutation (c.514C>T, p.R172W).
  • Significant inter-individual phenotypic variability was observed.

Implications:

  • This study expands the known spectrum of PRPH2 mutations.
  • The novel PRPH2 mutation provides further insight into genotype-phenotype correlations.
  • Multimodal imaging and electrophysiological assessments are valuable for diagnosing and evaluating PRPH2-related macular diseases.
