In recent years, the genetic factor has become one of the important predisposing factors of nephropathy susceptibility. There is a high incidence of nephropathy in CCVd. The CYP2C19 enzyme metabolizes most the drugs, including proton pump inhibitors commonly used medicines to treat CCVd, CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms is association with multi-pathogenesis factors of nephropathy. The purpose of the study is to reveal the association between CYP2C19 genotype and the susceptibility of nephropathy in the CCVd patients. The study is composed of 623 samples from CCVd treated by anticoagulation. The patients were studied, including CCVd with hyperuricemia, coronary heart disease, diabetes, and other complication. Biochemical tests and CYP2C19 variants measurements were performed by the gene chip method. The association among CYP2C19 variants, complications, and nephropathy was analyzed in the CCVd. There is no correlation between nephropathy and complications in CCVd. In hyperuricemia, coronary heart disease and diabetes groups, the differences of renal function tests were significant between CYP2C19 mutant (P < 0.05). The nephropathy risk of wild genotype is 3.288 times higher than of mutation genotype in hyperuricemic group, 1.928 times higher than mutation genotype in coronary heart disease group, and 5.248 times higher than CYP2C19 mutation genotype in the diabetic group. There was significant correlation between the CYP2C19 wild type and the nephropathy susceptibility in CCVd patients. The CYP2C19 gene plays a potential maker to evaluate nephropathy in CCVd patients. We deduced that identification of CYP2C19 gene type may benefit for reducing and avoiding nephropathy caused by abnormal metabolism function in CCVd patients.

Interpreting postmortem concentrations of 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) remains challenging due to the wide range of reported results and the potential idiosyncratic nature of MDMA toxicity. Consequently, forensic pathologists often rely on a body of evidence to establish conclusions regarding the cause and the manner of death in death involving MDMA. Given these issues, implementing pharmacogenetics' (PGx)' testing may be beneficial.

Objective: Lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) is a prevalent condition that produces a significant burden on health care systems. Patients with LEAD have an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events as well as major adverse limb events. Despite significant variation in guidance on antiplatelet therapy for LEAD worldwide, many governing bodies recommend clopidogrel as the preferred single anti-platelet agent.

Pharmacogenetic-guided prescribing can lead to more accurate medicine selection and dosing, improving patient outcomes and leading to better use of health care budgets. Loss-of-function variants in CYP2C19 influence an individual's ability to metabolize clopidogrel, increasing the risk of secondary vascular events following ischemic stroke and percutaneous coronary intervention. In acute clinical contexts, centralized laboratory-based testing is too slow to inform timely clinical decision-making.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of clopidogrel-related gene polymorphisms on the occurrence of recurrent thrombotic events and cardiovascular death in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: We conducted genotype testing for 26 specific loci mapped to 18 clopidogrel-associated genes in ACS patients who had undergone PCI and were receiving dual antiplatelet therapy only involving clopidogrel. We documented major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and clinical endpoints, analyzing the effect of genetic polymorphisms on treatment outcomes.

Escitalopram is commonly prescribed for depressive and anxiety disorders in elderly patients, who often show variable drug responses and face higher risks of side effects due to age-related changes in organ function. The CYP2C19 polymorphism may further affect escitalopram pharmacokinetics in elderly patients, complicating dose optimization for this group. Previous pharmacogenetic studies examining the impact of CYP2C19 phenotype on escitalopram treatment outcomes have primarily focused on younger adults, leaving a gap in understanding its effects on the elderly.
