High Frequency of the Opioid Receptor µ-1 (OPRM1) A118G Polymorphism, an Opioid Drug Therapy Related Gene, in the Indonesian Population
Conclusion: A high prevalence of the OPRM1 A118G polymorphism was found in the Indonesian population, with the G allele frequency tending to be higher in males. (Source: Current Pharmacogenomics and Personalized Medicine)

Differences in MDR1 (C3435T), CYP2D6, and CYP1A2 Genotype Frequencies between Patients with Treatment Failure to Antipsychotics and Healthy Russian Population
Conclusion: Psychiatric patients with treatment failure to antipsychotics demonstrated a high frequency of T/T MDR1 (C3435T) and CYP2D6 *3/*4 genotypes coding inactive proteins. The frequency of CYP1A2 wild type genotype *A/*A was higher with a simultaneous decrease in the frequency of *F/*F genotype compared with the healthy Russian population. Further studies of MDR1 (C3435T) genotype as well as CYP2D6, CYP2C19, and CYP1A2 genotypes frequency should be conducted in patients with treatment failure to antipsychotics.

Mutation Analysis of ABL1 Gene and its Relation to the Achievement of Major Molecular Response in Indonesian Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Patients
Conclusion: We found no T315I, F311I, and F317L mutations in this study. Our findings suggest that there might be other factors that influenced the MMR achievement in our study patients. However, there were 36 substitutions from A to G at position 163.816 (according to NG_012034.1) that needed further examination to explore the significance of this mutation in clinical practice.

Genetic Polymorphisms of CYP2D6: Prevalence in Healthy Kurds
Conclusion: The data add to our knowledge of CYP2D6 alleles, the genotypes and the distributions of predicted phenotypes in Kurds. Majority of the observed variant alleles confer no function and gene duplication. CYP2D6 polymorphisms were found to be very heterogeneous in relation to genotype frequencies. Further study in relation to the evaluation of drug therapy adjustment based on CYP2D6 genotype may help to understand the clinical consequences of CYP2D6 polymorphisms.

Peculiaritie of Distribution of Polymorphic Variants of IL1Β Gene in Patients with Atherosclerosis and Metabolic Syndrome
Conclusion: The risk of development of AS in the background of MS is increased in carriers of combinations of SNPs (-31)TT/(+3953)CT IL1В gene responsible for hyperproduction of this cytokine. In this connection, further studies of the association of genes with MS and AS components should focus on intergenic interactions. (Source: Current Pharmacogenomics and Personalized Medicine)

The Promise of Whole-exome Sequencing for Prenatal Genetic Diagnosis
Prenatal genetic diagnosis provides information for pregnancy and perinatal decision- making and management. Cytogenetic testing methods, including chromosomal microarray analysis and gene panels, have evolved to become a part of routine laboratory testing, providing valuable diagnostic and prognostic information for prenatal diagnoses. Despite this progress, however, cytogenetic analyses are limited by their resolution and diagnosis is only possible in around 40% of the dysmorphic fetuses. The advent of nextgeneration sequencing (NGS), whole-genome sequencing or whole-exome sequencing has revolutionized prenatal diagnosis...

HLA-B27 is a Risk Factor for Rheumatoid Arthritis: Suggestion for an Evidence-based Update
Previously, the association of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27 with ankylosing spondylitis has been investigated as original and meta-analysis studies. However, the association of HLA-B27 with rheumatoid arthritis is not currently investigated as a meta-analysis. Hence, in this letter, a brief meta-analysis on this association will be performed. Although there were some studies on the association of RA and HLA-B27, however, there was not a pooled odds ratio reported in textbooks. Based on this brief metaanalysis, number 2.687 can be reported as the odds ratio of this association. It shows that this association is neither...
