Study Notes
Pharmacogenetics Overview
- Pharmacogenetics studies genetic factors influencing drug responses, aiming to explain variability among individuals.
- Recent advancements led to pharmacogenomics, incorporating genome-wide analyses to deepen understanding of drug effects on different genetic backgrounds.
Key Studies and Findings
- Miao et al. (2015) explored methods for integrating data to reveal genotype-phenotype interactions, enhancing knowledge of how genetics affect drug efficacy and side effects.
- A study by Xu and Peltz discussed the continued relevance of pseudocholinesterase deficiency in pharmacogenetics, relevant to anesthesiology and drug metabolism.
Cholinesterases in Anesthesiology
- Cholinesterases, specifically serine hydrolases, play a critical role in anesthesiology, influencing the breakdown of anesthetic drugs and affecting patient responses during procedures.
- There is a documented correlation between butyrylcholinesterase phenotype and genotype which has implications for personalized medicine in anesthetic practices.
