Objectives: To establish the contribution of genetic host factors to the risk of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and nosocomial pneumonia (NP) in the population of the Russian Federation.
Methods: A total of 796 subjects (CAP: 334 patients, 134 controls; NP: 216 critically ill patients with NP, 105 critically ill patients without NP) were included in two case-control studies. We analyzed 13 polymorphisms in 11 genes (IL-6, TNF-α, MBL2, CCR5, NOS3, CYP1A1 (three sites), GSTM1, GSTT1, ABCB1, ACE, and MTHFR) using a tetra-primer allele-specific PCR method.
Results: Individual single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis revealed a strong association between CYP1A1 rs2606345 and CAP (p=3.9 × 10(-5), odds ratio (OR) 0.42, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.27-0.63). Three genes (CYP1A1, ACE, and IL-6) were identified that account for part of the increase in vulnerability to both diseases, CAP and NP. The carriage of three predisposing genotypes versus protective genotypes increased the CAP risk (p=0.001, OR 7.01, 95% CI 1.99-24.70) and NP risk (p=0.028, OR 4.34, 95% CI 1.15-16.45).
Conclusions: Genetic predisposition to CAP and NP is attributed to the cumulative contribution of polymorphisms at the CYP1A1, IL-6, and ACE genes, independently of age, gender, causative pathogen, and the use of mechanical ventilation, in patients in the Russian Federation.

The most frequent type of leukemia in Africa is chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The genetic background of the rarer Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) Ph-ve (BCR-ABL-ve) subform of CML is largely unknown in African patients. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the role of CYP1A1 and 2D6 SNPs in the pathogenesis of Ph-ve CML in the Sudanese population.

Objective: Of this study was to analyse the correlation of gene polymorphisms with clinical and laboratory data of paediatric patients with B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukaemia with prognostically unfavourable features.
Methods: A study of 200 children with B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL) treated with polychemotherapy programmes was conducted. Analysis by sex revealed a statistically insignificant predominance of the group of boys over girls (54%).

Background: Cytochromes P450 (CYPs) are heme-containing oxidoreductase enzymes with mono-oxygenase activity. Human CYPs catalyze the oxidation of a great variety of chemicals, including xenobiotics, steroid hormones, vitamins, bile acids, procarcinogens, and drugs.
Findings: In our review article, we discuss recent data evidencing that the same CYP isoform can be involved in both bioactivation and detoxification reactions and convert the same substrate to different products.

Nevirapine (NVP) and Efavirenz (EFV) can cause antiretroviral drug-induced liver injury (ARVDILI). The objectives of this study were to summarize and analyze existing data on pharmacogenomics associated with nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors drug-induced liver injury using systematic review and meta-analysis. This study systematically searched the relevant studies regarding pharmacogenes related to ARVDILI from online databases.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the significance of skin yellowness in yellow-feathered broilers, highlighting its impact on market popularity and pricing.
- Researchers identified lutein as the key pigment affecting skin color and proposed serum lutein concentration as a predictor for skin yellowness in the birds.
- They also discovered several genes that might regulate carotenoid absorption linked to yellowness and identified a genetic variation in CYP1A1 associated with skin color in Ma-Huang chickens, aiding in the breeding of desirable skin traits.
