Tacrolimus and mycophenolate are important immunosuppressive agents used to prevent organ rejection in post-transplant patients. While highly effective, their use is associated with significant toxicity, requiring careful management. Tacrolimus, a calcineurin inhibitor, is linked to nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, metabolic disturbances such as diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular complications such as hypertension and arrhythmias.

Pharmacogenetic variation is common and an established driver of response for many drugs. There has been tremendous progress in pharmacogenetics knowledge over the last 30 years and in clinical implementation of that knowledge over the last 15 years. But there have also been many examples where translation has stalled because of the lack of available data sets for discovery or validation research.

Introduction: Idiosyncratic adverse drug reactions (IADRs) or drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) represent a major health problem because they are unpredictable and can be severe with potential life-long or even lethal consequences. Their pathophysiology is not clear but thought to be immune mediated, supported by the significant statistical association of these reactions with specific alleles of the () gene.
Area Covered: This comprehensive update review summarizes the currently available evidence on the role of gene locus in IADRs and discusses the present understanding of the pathophysiology of IADRs.

Purpose: The incidence of hemodynamic instability associated with dexmedetomidine (DEX) sedation has been reported to exceed 50%, with substantial inter-individual variability in response. Genetic factors have been suggested to contribute significantly to such variation. The aim of this study was to identify the clinical, pharmacokinetic, and genetic factors associated with DEX-induced hemodynamic instability in pediatric anesthesia patients.
