Multiplex SNaPshot—a new simple and efficient CYP2D6 and ADRB1 genotyping method
Human Genomics – Reliable, inexpensive, high-throughput genotyping methods are required for clinical trials. Traditional assays require numerous enzyme digestions or are too expensive for large sample volumes. Our objective was to develop an inexpensive, efficient, and reliable assay for CYP2D6 and ADRB1 accounting for numerous polymorphisms including gene duplications.
Hypertension pharmacogenomics: in search of personalized treatment approaches
Nature Reviews Nephrology – Cardiovascular and renal diseases are associated with many risk factors, of which hypertension is one of the most prevalent. Worldwide, blood pressure control is only achieved in ~50% of those treated for hypertension, despite the availability of a considerable number of antihypertensive drugs from different pharmacological classes. Although many reasons exist for poor blood pressure control, a likely contributor is the inability to predict to which antihypertensive drug an individual is most likely to respond.
A conceptual model for translating omic data into clinical action
Journal of Pathology Informatics – Here, we outline a conceptual model for the application of omic data in the clinical context, called “the omic funnel.”
