Expanding the scope of pharmacogenomic research by including multiple global populations is integral to building robust evidence for its clinical translation. Deep whole-genome sequencing of diverse ethnic populations provides a unique opportunity to study rare and common pharmacogenomic markers that often vary in frequency across populations. In this study, we aim to build a diverse map of pharmacogenetic variants in South East Asian (SEA) Malay population using deep whole-genome sequences of 100 healthy SEA Malay individuals. We investigated the allelic diversity of potentially deleterious pharmacogenomic variants in SEA Malay population. Our analysis revealed 227 common and 466 rare potentially functional single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in 437 pharmacogenomic genes involved in drug metabolism, transport and target genes, including 74 novel variants. This study has created one of the most comprehensive maps of pharmacogenetic markers in any population from whole genomes and will hugely benefit pharmacogenomic investigations and drug dosage recommendations in SEA Malays.

Haemoglobin (Hb) AE Bart's Disease in a Young Patient: A Case Report.

Haemoglobin (Hb) AE Bart's disease is a rare form of thalassemia that results from the co-inheritance of Hb E and alpha thalassemia, typically with Hb H disease. The clinical severity can vary depending on the underlying genetic mutations, particularly in the presence of Hb Constant Spring (Hb CS), which is a highly unstable form of alpha thalassemia. Understanding the genetic basis and haematological profiles of Hb AE Bart's disease is crucial for proper diagnosis and management.

Southeast Asia (SEA) countries are characterised by a high burden of tuberculosis (TB). This research seeks to compile evidence of the prevalence and risk factors associated with TB among children in SEA countries. The searching of articles was conducted for four databases (PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and the Web of Science) published between 2013 and 2023 in the English language.

Introduction: Haemoglobin (Hb) Quong Sze is a non-deletional α-thalassaemia subtype that occurs due to missense mutation at codon 125 of the HBA2 gene. Interaction between Hb QS with Southeast Asian double α-globin gene deletion results in non-deletional HbH disease, which is more severe than deletional HbH.

Cypripedioideae (slipper orchids; Orchidaceae) currently consist of ∼200 herbaceous species with a strikingly disjunctive distribution in tropical and temperate regions of both hemispheres. In this study, an updated phylogeny with representatives from all five cypripedioid genera was presented based on maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference of plastome and low-copy nuclear genes. Phylogenomic analyses indicated that each genus is monophyletic, but some relationships (e.

Rivers constitute an important biogeographic divide in vast areas of tropical rainforest, such as the Amazon and Congo Basins. Southeast Asia's rainforests are currently fragmented across islands divided by sea, which has long obscured their extensive history of terrestrial connectivity as part of a vast (but now submerged) subcontinent - Sundaland - during most of the Quaternary. The role of paleo-rivers in determining population structure in Sundaic rainforests at a time when these forests were connected remains little understood.
