How Pharmacogenomics may finally realise its promise

pharmaphorum

The participants undergo monitoring for genetic variations that could potentially negatively impact their reaction to therapies. The program is aiming to genotype roughly 150,000 participants over the next few years to demonstrate the impact personalised testing can have on a large scale. About the Author.

Biorepositories as a Guiding Resource for Research & Drug Discovery

XTalks

Through these collaborations, cohort research dataset sharing programs allow for whole-genome sequence and genotype data to be made available for independent research. Now, if all you’ve already got is a bioresource of 20,000 people that have already been genotyped, you can choose those from that sample and focus your effort.”.

Type 1 Diabetes Vaccine: Does Diamyd Have a Winning Formula?

XTalks

A vaccine developed by Swedish company Diamyd Medical has demonstrated significant treatment efficacy in a predefined genetic subgroup of individuals with type 1 diabetes in a Phase IIb clinical trial. Hannelius said this highlights the importance of genetics when developing therapies for type 1 diabetes.

Moreover, combining biofluid analytes with molecular pathology (genetic biomarkers) allows for the classification and differentiation of neurodegenerative diseases. To accurately identify these genetic factors, genotyping techniques such as Sanger sequencing, next-generation sequencing (NGS) and copy number variant analysis are used.
