Principles of Pharmacogenetics: Types of Genetic Variants

79
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...

Glaucoma: Overview

1.6K
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

Headache in African Americans: An Overlooked Disparity.

Bernadette Davantes Heckman, Ashley Joi Britton

    Journal of the National Medical Association

    Summary

    African American headache patients face significant race-related disparities, experiencing more severe headaches and less effective treatment compared to Caucasian patients. Addressing these disparities is crucial for equitable care.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Health Disparities Research
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Health disparities persist in the U.S., necessitating research into race-related health inequities.
    • Limited research exists on race differences in headache disorders, affecting millions annually.
    • This review focuses on race-related disparities in headache epidemiology, characteristics, comorbidities, and treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine potential race differences in persons with headache disorders.
    • To investigate disparities in headache epidemiology, characteristics, psychiatric comorbidity, treatment utilization, and outcomes.
    • To synthesize current research on race-related health disparities in headache patients.

    Main Methods:

    • A systematic review of peer-reviewed publications.
    • Searched multiple databases: PubMed, Web of Science, and PsycINFO.
    • Included U.S. studies with racially diverse samples of individuals with headache disorders.

    Main Results:

    • African American headache patients report more frequent and severe headaches than Caucasian patients.
    • African Americans are more likely to have comorbid depressive disorders.
    • Headaches in African Americans are often under-diagnosed and undertreated, with higher treatment discontinuation rates.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective headache treatments exist but are not fully accessible to African American patients due to race-related disparities.
    • Significant disparities prevent African Americans from benefiting from evidence-based headache treatments.
    • Further research is needed to improve access to care and reduce the burden of severe headaches in the African American community.
