Relevant Serum Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Biomarkers in Type 2 Diabetes and Its Complications: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) is activated in all cells by stressors such as hyperglycemia. However, it remains unclear which specific serum biomarkers of ERS are consistently altered in type 2 diabetes (T2D). We aimed to identify serum ERS biomarkers that are consistently altered in T2D and its complications, and their correlation with metabolic and anthropometric variables.

Effect of the Complex Allele p.[Ile148Thr;Ile1023_Val1024del] in Cystic Fibrosis and Tracing of a Founder Effect in Mexican Families.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rare autosomal recessive disease most commonly affecting the Caucasian population. CF diagnosis can be a challenge due to the large spectrum of pathogenic variants in the CFTR gene and the effects of complex alleles. Next-generation sequencing has improved our understanding of the contribution of these complex alleles to the wide spectrum of CF clinical symptoms and to the response to medications.

Exome Sequence Data of Eight SLC Transporters Reveal That and Variants Alter Metformin Pharmacokinetics and Glycemic Control.

: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the leading causes of mortality and is a public health challenge worldwide. Metformin is the first-choice treatment for T2D; its pharmacokinetics (PK) is facilitated by members of the solute carrier (SLC) superfamily of transporters, it is not metabolized, and it is excreted by the kidney. Although interindividual variability in metformin pharmacokinetics is documented in the Mexican population, its pharmacogenomics is still underexplored.

pathogenic variants spectrum in a cohort of Mexican patients with cystic fibrosis.

Background: Molecular diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF) is challenging in Mexico due to the population's high genetic heterogeneity. To date, 46 pathogenic variants (PVs) have been reported, yielding a detection rate of 77%. We updated the spectrum and frequency of PVs responsible for this disease in mexican patients.
