Article Synopsis
- Sulfonylureas (SUs), like gliclazide and glimepiride, are commonly used medications for managing type 2 diabetes in the Philippines, and the study aimed to explore the genetic factors affecting their effectiveness.
- The research involved 252 participants across two studies, where genetic testing was conducted to identify associations between genetic variants and the individual responses to these medications.
- Results showed that certain genetic variants were significantly linked to poor responses to gliclazide and glimepiride, suggesting that understanding these genetic factors could improve treatment strategies for diabetes in the Filipino population.
