概括

这项研究探讨了基因与托皮拉在减少酒精消费方面的有效性之间的联系. 虽然没有找到确定的遗传标记,但有建议的变体为个性化AUD治疗提供了未来研究方向.

科学领域:

药物基因组学药物基因组学
酒精使用障碍 (AUD) 治疗方法
遗传流行病学遗传流行病学

背景情况:

托皮拉酸盐有效地减少了重饮者的酒精消耗.
之前的候选基因研究表明,在确定托皮拉玛特疗效的遗传预测因子方面,结果不一致.
需要全基因组关联研究 (GWAS) 来确定影响治疗反应的遗传变异.

研究的目的:

进行全基因组关联研究 (GWAS),以确定与重度饮酒患者的托皮拉治疗反应相关的遗传变异.
探索托皮拉对饮酒行为影响的遗传预测因子.

主要方法:

在topiramate开始的百万退伍军人计划 (MVP) 的参与者身上进行了GWAS.
使用AUDIT-C治疗前后分数来测量酒精消耗.
在一个独立的样本 (Yale-Penn) 中,针对692种表型计算和检查了托皮拉反应的多基因分数 (PGS).

主要成果:

交叉祖先GWAS元分析确定了35个具有暗示性关联的位置,没有一个达到全基因组意义.
托皮拉胺反应多基因分数 (PGS) 显示了与减少与酒精有关的肝病,AUD诊断时的年龄较大以及酒精使用频率增加的标称关联.

结论:

虽然没有确定全基因组显著的位置,但暗示变异需要进一步调查.
需要进行更大规模的研究,以发现对托皮拉反应的显著遗传预测因子.
识别遗传预测因素可以推进AUD治疗的精准医学.

关键词:

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Enzyme Inhibition

Enzyme Inhibition

Inhibitors are molecules that reduce enzyme activity by binding to the enzyme. In a normally functioning cell, enzymes are regulated by a variety of inhibitors. Drugs and other toxins can also inhibit enzymes. Some inhibitors bind to the enzyme’s active site, while others inhibit enzymatic activity by binding to other sites on the protein structure.

CNS Depressants: Alcohol and Nicotine

CNS Depressants: Alcohol and Nicotine

Ethanol, a clear colorless alcohol, has been consumed by humans for millennia, but its effects on the body are far from benign. At lower doses, it induces decreased inhibitions and loquaciousness, leading to its social appeal. However, it can cause severe consequences at higher doses, such as coma and respiratory depression, due to its zero-order elimination kinetics. Chronic ethanol abuse wreaks havoc on multiple organ systems, particularly the CNS and the liver. Abrupt cessation of ethanol...
