Article Synopsis
- Statins are key medications used to prevent cardiovascular disease by not only lowering lipids but also reducing inflammation, measured by C-reactive protein (CRP).
- Two significant genetic loci linked to how individuals respond to statin treatment in terms of changes in CRP levels were identified: APOE and HNF1A, both of which are associated with various health conditions like coronary artery disease and diabetes.
- Further analysis suggests that the APOE-E4 variant may influence the effectiveness of statins, hinting at its potential role in personalized healthcare for those with cardiovascular and related conditions.

Statins are the primary drugs used to prevent cardiovascular disease by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme crucial for the synthesis of LDL cholesterol in the liver. A significant number of patients experience adverse drug reactions (ADRs), particularly musculoskeletal problems, which can affect adherence to treatment. Recent clinical guidelines, such as those from the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) in 2022, recommend adjusting rosuvastatin doses based on genetic variations in the and genes to minimize ADRs and improve treatment efficacy.

Backgroud: Hypoparathyroidism (hypoPT) is characterized by acute and chronic complications due to insufficient parathyroid hormone (PTH) production or action. Several management guidelines have been developed, but mostly based on evidence from Western countries. Data from Eastern countries have not been systematically compared with those from Western countries.

Background: Among all gynecological cancers, ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death. Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) accounts for over 85 % of ovarian cancer cases and is characterized by insidious onset, early metastasis, and a high recurrence rate. Alterations in gut microbiota, often as a consequence of chemotherapy, can promote cancer development and exacerbate the disease.

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.
