Article Abstract

Objectives: The efficacy and safety of drug treatments vary widely due to genetic variations. Pharmacogenomics investigates the impact of genetic variations on patient drug response. This research investigates the frequency of genetic variations in the Iranian population, comparing them with global data to provide insights into the pharmacogenomic approach in the Iranian population.

Methods: The study was conducted using the data of the Bushehr Elderly Health (BEH) program, a population-based cohort study of the elderly population aged ≥ 60 years. Genotyping of three variant alleles (*6, *27, and *80) was performed on a group of 2730 elderly Iranian participants with the Infinium Global Screening Array.

Results: The genotyping analysis revealed significant differences compared to major global populations that were addressed in the gnomAD database. *80 was found at a high frequency (32.34%), and followed by UGT*6 (0.76%) and *27 (0.018) at a low frequency in the Iranian group.

Conclusions: The *80 was the more prevalent allele between investigated alleles in the present study which can be considered as an important allele for pharmacogenomic testing.

In light of the challenges posed by global climate change, the environmental adaptability of organisms is becoming increasingly important. The Wuzhishan (WZS) pig, tolerant to high heat and humidity, is an ideal model for genomic study. By characterizing its genome and assessing its genetic diversity and runs of homozygosity (ROH), we can gain insights into its current conservation status and genomic architecture.

Background: Overexpression of rs3761936 of DCLRE1B gene has been observed in both breast cancer and cervical cancer patients. To justify the association of this polymorphism with these cancers, we performed this case-control study.

Method: A total of 245 cancer patients and 108 healthy controls participated in the research.

Denisovans have yet to be directly associated with a hominin cranium, limiting our understanding of their morphology and geographical distribution. We have attempted to retrieve DNA from a nearly complete Middle Pleistocene cranium from Harbin (>146 ka), northeastern China. Although no DNA could be retrieved from a tooth or the petrous bone, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) could be isolated from dental calculus.

Background: Although previous studies suggested associations between psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (AD), the directionality and causality of these relationships remain controversial. This study employed bidirectional Mendelian randomization to investigate the potential causal relationships between these two inflammatory skin conditions.

Methods: Genome-wide association statistics were obtained for psoriasis and AD from large-scale consortia and meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies.

Aim: To investigate the phenotypic and genomic features of three multidrug-resistant (MDR) clinical mucoid and non-mucoid uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains to understand their antimicrobial resistance, biofilm formation, and virulence in urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Methods And Results: The UPEC strains A5, A10, and A15 were isolated from two UTI patients. Phenotypic assays included colony morphology, antibiotic susceptibility, motility, and biofilm formation.
