The purpose of this research was to determine the frequency of mutation of the cytochrome genes and transport proteins SLCO1B1 and MDR1 in patients with coronary heart disease in the Kazakh nation. A prospective cohort clinical and genetic study was conducted. The study was conducted in 2017-2019. Medical records containing information about drug prescription conducted in hospitals and outpatient departments were carefully analyzed. In the examined group of 178 patients treated with statins, a significant frequency of genetic variants that determine the increased risk of complications of statin use was revealed. There was a tendency toward an increase in the activity of creatine phosphokinase (CPK) in the blood upon detection of the A6986G mutation of the cytochrome gene and (c.521T>C) gene of the transport protein OATP1B1. In the studied Kazakh population, the presence of a homozygous mutant gene of the transport protein can be recommended as a genetic marker for the undesirability of using antihypercholesterolemic therapy with statins, which simultaneously leads to a decrease in the effectiveness of treatment and an increase in the risk of side effects.

Background: Cancer screening is a crucial component in the fight to reduce cancer incidence and mortality. Currently, the WHO recommends highly effective cancer screening programs, including screening for cervical cancer (CC), breast cancer (BC), and colorectal cancer (CRC). Despite the implementation of a cancer screening program since 2014, an evaluation of the effectiveness of BC, CC, and CRC screening in the Kazakhstan has not yet been conducted.

Genetic factors significantly contribute to its pathogenesis, accounting for approximately 80% of the heritability. Globally, about 1% of the population is affected by schizophrenia, with 45,054 individuals in Kazakhstan receiving medical treatment for the condition, indicating a prevalence rate of 238,6 per 100,000 people.

Preventive vaccination is a crucial strategy for controlling and preventing infectious diseases, offering both effectiveness and cost-efficiency. However, despite the widespread success of vaccination programs, there are still certain population groups who struggle to mount adequate responses to immunization. These at-risk groups include but are not restricted to the elderly, overweight individuals, individuals with chronic infections and cancer patients.

Background: Reproductive effects of chronic exposure to nickel (Ni), including sperm quality, have been a matter of debate given that published studies yielded contrasting results. We have, therefore, planned to systematically search and analyze medical literature with the aim to ascertain the association of exposure to nickel with the sperm quality in humans.
Materials And Methods: We systematically searched Pubmed, Scopus and Embase for studies reporting the association of Ni with the sperm quality in humans with no time or language limits and used PRISMA to report the findings.
