Genetic epidemiology and pharmacogenetics in irritable bowel syndrome
The objectives of this review are twofold. Our first objective is to evaluate the evidence supporting a role for genetics in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Specific examples of the associations of genetic variation and symptoms, syndromes, and intermediate phenotypes, including neurotransmitter (serotonergic, alpha;2-adrenergic, and cannabinoid) mechanisms, inflammatory pathways (IL-10, TNFalpha;, GNbeta;3, and susceptibility loci involved in Crohn's disease), and bile acid metabolism, are explored. The second objective is to review pharmacogenetics in IBS, with the focus on cytochrome P-450 metabolism of drugs used in IBS, modulation of motor and sensory responses to serotonergic agents based on the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) transporter-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) and 5-HT3 ...div id=medwormpbiMedWorm Message:/i/b Please have a look at this new site driven by MedWorm: a href=http://www.thebreastcancerdaily.com/ target=_blankThe Breast Cancer Daily/a/p/div
