Purpose: We investigated the influence of the CYP2C9 polymorphism on the lipid profile, insulin resistance, and subclinical atherosclerosis in young epileptic patients.
Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study to evaluate the association between CYP2C9 polymorphism and lipid profile, glucose homeostasis, and subclinical atherosclerosis in young epileptic patients via the ankle brachial index.
Results: The frequencies of CYP2C9*1 (CYP2C9 wild type gene) and CYP2C9*3 (CYP2C9 polymorphism gene) were 75% and 25%, respectively. The mean serum total triglyceride and LDL levels were significantly higher in the wild type gene subjects than in the CYP 2C9 polymorphism gene subjects. Also, the CYP 2C9 polymorphism had marginally significant lower mean serum HDL levels than the wild type gene subjects. No patients with CYP 2C9 polymorphism gene had elevated fasting blood sugar, and insulin resistance was found in only 10 of the 75 subjects. The mean ABI was statistically significantly lower in the wild type subjects than in the CYP2C9 polymorphism gene subjects.
Conclusion: Our study indicates that young epileptic patients with the CYP2C9 polymorphism gene have a low risk of subclinical atherosclerosis.

Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling of gliclazide for different genotypes of CYP2C9 and CYP2C19.
Arch Pharm Res
January 2025
College of Pharmacy, Dongguk University-Seoul, Goyang, 10326, Republic of Korea.
Article Synopsis
- Gliclazide is a medication for type 2 diabetes, primarily metabolized by genetic variations in the CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 enzymes.
- A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was developed to analyze how these genetic differences affect gliclazide's effects in patients.
- The model accurately predicted drug concentration levels in the bloodstream, meeting standard evaluation criteria and potentially paving the way for personalized treatment plans based on genetic profiles.
Hypothesized pharmacogenomic and medication influences on tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol metabolism in a cohort of unselected oral cannabis users.
J Cannabis Res

Division of General Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science, 200 First St SW, Rochester, MN, 55905, USA.
Background: Differences in cannabinoid metabolism and patient responses can arise even with equivalent doses and formulations. Genetic polymorphisms in genes responsible for cannabinoid metabolism and medications that alter CYP450 pathways responsible for metabolism of cannabinoids may account for some of this variability.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on a cohort of unselected patients who had previously completed pharmacogenomic testing and reported oral cannabis use, as defined as "oral" or "by mouth" route of administration.
Application of rapid genotyping of Warfarin individualized pharmacogenetic variants in Warfarin therapy.

Laboratory Medicine, First Affiliated Hospital of Gannan Medical University, Ganzhou, 341000, China.
Warfarin is the most widely used oral anticoagulant in clinical practice. The cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9), vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1 (VKORC1), and cytochrome P450 4F2 (CYP4F2) genotypes are associated with warfarin dose requirements in China. Accurate genotyping is vital for obtaining reliable genotype-guided warfarin dosing information.

Unlabelled: To evaluate the effects of cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily C member 9 (CYP2C9) and cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily C member 19 (CYP2C19) polymorphisms on the plasma concentrations, efficacy, and safety of lacosamide (LCM) among pediatric patients with epilepsy. This prospective study was conducted at two institutions. It included 215 pediatric patients with epilepsy who were under LCM.

Introduction: Confusion regarding methadone metabolism exists, hampering optimal clinical use. A systematic review was conducted to assess the impacts of cytochrome P450 (CYP) genetic polymorphisms on methadone outcomes.
Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and CENTRAL were searched to identify studies reporting methadone dose-adjusted plasma concentrations, clearance, maintenance dose, or treatment response in relation to polymorphisms in humans.
