In spite of the availability of many antituberculosis drugs all over the world the morbidity of tuberculosis does not lower. Often the tuberculosis therapy schemes are adapted to every particular patient which is mainly due to the therapy unfavourable effects requiring discontinuation of the drugs used. Polymorphism of the detoxication genes, as predictors of the response to the drug therapy, was shown to be of certain significance. The experimental data would allow to substantiate personalized management of tuberculosis patients and to increase its efficacy and safety.

Pharmacogenomics lies at the intersection of pharmacology and genomics. It analyzes the impact of genetic variants on patient’s response to a specific drug. Pharmacogenomic tests involve the analysis of variants of genes responsible for drug metabolism, to determine the rate of drug metabolism and apply this information to clinical practice.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) poses a challenging prognosis due to early metastasis driven by anoikis resistance. Identifying crucial regulators to overcome this resistance is vital for improving patient outcomes. In this study, a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 knockout screen in TNBC cells has identified tyrosine-protein phosphatase nonreceptor type 14 (PTPN14) as a key regulator of anoikis resistance.

Background: Pharmacogenomics (PGx) constitutes an important part of personalized medicine and has several clinical applications. PGx role in clinical practice is known, however, it has not been widely adopted yet. In this study, we aim to investigate the perspectives of Greek physicians regarding the implementation of PGx testing in clinical practice and the key issues associated with it.

Pharmacogenetics investigates sequence of genes that affect drug response, enabling personalized medication. This approach reduces drug-induced adverse reactions and improves clinical effectiveness, making it a crucial consideration for personalized medical care. Numerous guidelines, drawn by global consortia and scientific organizations, codify genotype-driven administration for over 120 active substances.
