Objectives: gene polymorphic variants can decrease the effects of losartan, reducing active metabolite (E-3174) formation. Study aims to determine the influence of (+430C>T; rs799853) and *3 (+1075A>C; rs1057910) gene polymorphic variants on the hypotensive and uricosuric effect of losartan on patients with arterial hypertension.
Methods: Eighty one patients with stage 1-2 arterial hypertension newly diagnosed with ABMP were enrolled in the study. Physicians started losartan treatment and then we measured urine concentration of E-3174/losartan to estimate CYP2C9 activity. After 3-month losartan treatment we compared effectiveness of the therapy with ABPM and plasma uric acid level between carriers of and gene polymorphic variants ( and ).
Results: Carriage of and alleles reduced the hypotensive effect of losartan (p<0.001, OR=8.13 (95% CI, 2.75-23.97)). Analysis of the ABPM data revealed that blood pressure was significantly higher in patients with polymorphic genotypes. There was no significant difference in uric acid level in plasma and losartan and its metabolite concentration in urine between genotypes.
Conclusions: Carriage of low function polymorphic variants of the gene ( and ) reduced the hypotensive effect of losartan according to ABPM and don't affect uric acid level in plasma and E-3174/losartan in urine.

Background: Substance use disorders are multifaceted conditions influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Serotonergic pathways are known to be involved in substance use disorder susceptibility, with genetic markers within serotonin receptor genes identified as potential risk factors.
Methods: To further explore this relationship, we conducted a study to investigate the association between several polymorphisms in five serotonin receptor genes (, , ) and substance use disorders (SUD) in Jordanian males by sequencing genotypes in 496 SUD patients and 496 healthy controls.

Endocrine ophthalmopathy (EO; also called Graves' ophthalmopathy, thyroid eye disease) is a common extrathyroidal manifestation of Graves' disease, characterized by the presence of autoimmune inflammatory process in the orbital soft tissues. The prevalence of EO is approximately 10 cases per 10.000 population, higher in individuals over 50 years old.

Background: Lipid metabolism is influenced by mutations in the EH domain binding protein 1 gene (EHBP1). This study investigated the link between the EHBP1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and dyslipidemia risks in maintenance dialysis patients with end-stage renal disease in Chinese Han population.
Methods: A total of 539 patients were divided into dyslipidemia (379) and control (160) groups.

Purpose: Available research indicates that the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling pathway is significantly correlated with lung cancer brain metastasis (BM). This study established a clinical predictive model for assessing the risk of BM based on the mTORC1-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
Methods: In this single-center retrospective study, 395 patients with non-small cell lung cancer were included.

Gastric cancer (GC) is characterized by notable heterogeneity and the impact of molecular subtypes on treatment and prognosis. The role of programmed cell death (PCD) in cellular processes is critical, yet its specific function in GC is underexplored. This study applied multiomics approaches, integrating transcriptomic, epigenetic, and somatic mutation data, with consensus clustering algorithms to classify GC molecular subtypes and assess their biological and immunological features.
