.PHARMACOGENTICS : Pharma & Genetics
Pharma – The greek word i,.e Pharmacon, related to Drugs.
Genetics – related to genes / genome.
The study of the genetics basis for variation in drug response.
PHARMACOGENOMICS : It employs the tools for surveying
the entie genome to assess mutigenic determinants of drug
response.
PERSONALISED MEDICINES : Individualising drug therapy in
light of genomic information.
 To use genetic information specific to an individual patient to
preselect a drug that will be effective and not cause toxicity.
 Better than relying on trials and error supported by physical
clues.
 USFDA : Addition of pharmacogenomics labelling
information to the package inserts of over 50 drugs.
Inter individual variation in response to drugs – Serious
problem
Results in Lack of efficacy/Unexpected side effects
Variation:
Pharmacokinetic
Pharmacodynamic
Idiosyncratic
Too much/not enough drug at site of action.
 Metabolism
 Transporters
 Plasma protein binding
 Thiopurine drugs ( tioguanine, Mercaptopurine and its prodrug
Azathioprine) and TPMT(Thiopurine-S-methyltransferase)
activity : Bone marrow and liver toxicity.
 About 1 in 300 Caucasians and African-Americans are TPMT-
deficient .
 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and DPYD(dihydropyrimidine
dehydrogenase ) activity: Decreased metabolism
leukocytopenia, stomatitis, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting

Interindividual variation in
•Drug targets
G-proteins
•Immune Molecules
•Receptors
•Ion channel and enzymes
 Qualitatively abnormal reaction that occurs only in a
few exposed individuals
 Results from differences in enzymes or immune
mechanisms.

Defination :
A gene is the basic instruction –a sequence of nucleic acids ( DNA
or, in the case of certain viruses RNA ), while an allele is one
variant of that gene. Referreing to having a gene for disease for eg.
Sickle cell disease is caused by a mutant allele of a haemoglobin
gene.
An allele is an alt. form of a gene ( one
member of a pair ) that is located at a
specific position on a specific
chromosomes.

 Different alternative sequences at a locus within DNA

generations.
 A rise due to mutation.
 Increase in frequency over generations-selective advantage
SNPs are DNA sequence variations that occur
when a single nucleotide in the genome
sequence is altered.
May entail substitution of one nucleotide to
another(C for T).
Result in ‘frame shift’ in translation
 Result can be loss of protein synthesis, abnormal
protein synthesis or an abnormal rate of protein
synthesis.
 Individuals differ from each other approx. every 300-
1000 nucleotides with an estimated total of 30 million
SNP.
 Can occur in coding & non coding regions
 Important determinant of disease-e.g. Inherited

 Autosomal dominant inherited.
 Idiosyncratic ADR due to SXM on Ryanodine receptor
 Also due to halogenated inhalational agents ( induced
anaesthesia by blocking CNS neurotransmission
teRapid rise of body
perature,
 muscle rigidity,
 Rapid heart beat
 Mechanism: Sudden rise in
release Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic
stores leading to muscle
contraction & hyper metabolic
rate.
 Potentially fatal
Treatment:
Dantrolene 1 mg/kg i.v repeated up to 10mg/kg.
(prevents release of Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic
reticulum)
Symptomatic Rx of Hyperthermia
Rx of Cardiac arrhythmias

• Rate of Metabolism differs with
race
• Oriental races- accumulation
of acetaldehyde.
• Due to slower rate of oxidation
of acetaldehyde as a result of
genetic polymorphism
Especially in
Japanese
 Around 80% of Asians have a variant gene ADH1B
 Almost all Chinese and Koreans- ADH1C
 Coding alcohol dehydrogenase -toxic acetaldehyde at
a much higher efficiency
 50% of Asians, the increased acetaldehyde
accumulation, the mitochondrial ALDH2 allele,
 less functional acetaldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme,
