Background: Human cytochrome P450 (s) genes are essential in metabolising drugs. Due to their high polymorphism, population-specific studies are of great interest.
Aim: This research examined the six genes, including , , , , , and in the Kinh Vietnamese (KHV) for population-scale precision medicine.
Subjects And Methods: We processed data from a genomics database of 206 healthy and unrelated KHV individuals to calculate allele frequencies. First, we compared the genes of the KHV to six other populations retrieved from the 1000 Genomes Project. Second, we searched the PharmGBK database for drug-CYP interaction data to compile a drug dosage recommendation for the KHV.
Results: We observed the diverging trends in genetic variations of , , and in the KHV. Regarding phenotypic drug responses in the KHV, exhibited all metabolic phenotypes at a non-trivial frequency. In addition, metabolised drugs at a lower rate compared to the other five s.
Conclusion: This is the first large-scale study to investigate multiple genes in the KHV for precision medicine from a public health perspective. Differences found in the distributions of metabolizers for the KHV suggest careful prescriptions for and -metabolised drugs.

Background: Novel therapeutic approaches are actively explored and evaluated, but applying these innovations to practice depends critically on the recruitment of volunteers for clinical trials. This study aimed to assess the motivations, barriers, and willingness of the general population in Vietnam to participate in clinical trials for novel cancer treatments.
Methods: This analytical cross-sectional research involved the distribution of self-administered online and printed questionnaires to residents across central and southern Vietnam in December 2024.

Background: Gout is a form of microcrystalline arthritis caused by chronic hyperuricemia, leading to monosodium urate crystal deposition. The ABCG2 gene, particularly the Q141K polymorphism, is a significant genetic factor influencing gout susceptibility and the therapeutic response to allopurinol. However, the association of Q141K with gout in the Vietnamese population remains undefined.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex disorder with contributions by environmental and genetic factors. LRRK2 R1628P is a major genetic risk factor for developing PD in Asian populations. However, the effect of this variant in Kinh Vietnamese remains unclear.

Introduction/aims: Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are classified into five subtypes that are associated with distinct groups of myositis-specific antibodies (MSAs). Variations in the prevalence, genetic predisposition and clinical manifestations exist in patients with IIM from different ethnic backgrounds. In this study, we aimed to characterize the immunopathological changes in muscle tissue and serum cytokines in a Vietnamese IIM cohort with Kinh ethnicity.

Population-specific reference genomes are essential for improving the accuracy and reliability of genomic analyses across diverse human populations. Although Vietnam ranks as the 16th most populous country in the world, with more than 86% of its population identifying as Kinh, studies specifically focusing on the Kinh Vietnamese reference genome remain scarce. Therefore, constructing a Kinh Vietnamese reference genome is valuable in the genetic research of Vietnamese.
