Transcriptional profiles associated with coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common complication of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Understanding the pathogenesis of this complication is essential in both diagnosis and management. Thus, this study aimed to characterize the presence of CAD in T2DM using molecular markers and pathway analyses.

Variants of may be Linked to Poor Response to Metformin.

Purpose: A study among Filipinos revealed that only 15% of patients with diabetes achieved glycemic control, and poor response to metformin could be one of the possible reasons. Recent studies demonstrate how genetic variations influence response to metformin. Hence, the present study aimed to determine genetic variants associated with poor response to metformin.

The rs1458038 variant near FGF5 is associated with poor response to calcium channel blockers among Filipinos.

Genetic variation is known to affect response to calcium channel blockers (CCBs) among different populations. This study aimed to determine the genetic variations associated with poor response to this class of antihypertensive drugs among Filipinos.One hundred eighty one hypertensive participants on CCBs therapy were included in an unmatched case-control study.

The Klotho Variant rs36217263 Is Associated With Poor Response to Cardioselective Beta-Blocker Therapy Among Filipinos.

A common drug used for hypertension among Filipinos is beta-blockers. Variable responses to beta-blockers are observed, and genetic predisposition is suggested. This study investigated the association of genetic variants with poor response to beta-blockers among Filipinos.
