Actionable pharmacogenetic variants in Hong Kong Chinese exome sequencing data and projected prescription impact in the Hong Kong population

Mullin Ho Chung Yu et al.

Summary: This study examined pharmacogenomics in 1116 Hong Kong Chinese using exome sequencing data to identify actionable pharmacogenetic variants. Nearly all subjects carried at least one actionable pharmacogenetic variant, while a majority also harbored at least one rare, deleterious pharmacogenetic variant. Prescription data analysis revealed that 13.4% of the Hong Kong population were prescribed drugs with pharmacogenetic clinical guideline recommendations. The study demonstrates the feasibility of using exome sequencing for pharmacogenetic analysis and the potential of preemptive pharmacogenetic testing to support prescription decisions in the Hong Kong Chinese population.

G6PD distribution in sub-Saharan Africa and potential risks of using chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine based treatments for COVID-19

Jorge E. B. da Rocha et al.

Summary: Variants in the G6PD gene among individuals from sub-Saharan Africa show significant diversity, potentially impacting the efficacy of chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine in COVID-19 treatment. Allele frequency differences in G6PD deficiency-related variants exist among different African sub-populations, which may affect drug efficacy and side effects.

CYP2B6 Functional Variability in Drug Metabolism and Exposure Across Populations-Implication for Drug Safety, Dosing, and Individualized Therapy

Immaculate M. Langmia et al.

Summary: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with individual genetic make-up being a contributing factor. Variability in the CYP2B6 gene, caused by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), can affect drug metabolism and lead to adverse drug reactions or therapeutic failure. Understanding the pharmacogenomics of CYP2B6 may be useful for developing personalized medicine based on genotype-based prescription.
