Summary Introduction
To review:
The relationship between CYP2D6 variants and the response of patients to the breast cancer drug, tamoxifen using PharmGKB database.
Introduction:
An individual’s genomic makeup reveals the response of the body to a particular drug, this study is known as Pharmacogenomics. The genes encode various enzymes and proteins known to metabolize the drug, hence the rate of

Consider the gal10D56 reporter gene. In 300 words or fewer, describe 1) the role of GAL7 in galactose metabolism and its importance for cell function 2) the mutation present in the gal10D56 reporter gene 3) the consequence of this mutation for GAL7 expression in wild type cells, 4) the mechanism by which certain mutations can suppress the effects of gal10D56, and 5) the specific purpose for using this reporter gene.

- The diosgenin drug (DSG) has been tested on human cholangiocarcinoma cells (bile duct cancer cells). To this aim, the human cholangiocarcinoma cell lines HuCCT1, QBC939, SK-ChA-1, HuH28, RBE, and Mz-ChA-1 have been subjected to different conditions of treatment with DSG, then assessed for their viability using a MTS assay, and their cell cycle progression using flow cytometry (FCM).Note: The MTS assay is based on the reduction of the MTS tetrazolium compound by viable cells to generate a colored formazan dye that is soluble in cell culture media. This conversion is thoughtto be carried out by NAD(P)H-dependent dehydrogenase enzymes in metabolically active cells.The formazan dye is quantified by measuring its absorbance at 490-500 nm. Question : To which kind of biological molecule does this DSG drug resemble? To which kind of properties do you expect for DSG?arrow_forwardInduced pluripotent stem cells have allowed scientists to model various diseases and screen drugs in these in vitro models.
