Development of genotyping systems for pharmacogenomics profiling
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)Genetic variability in genes encoding drug metabolizing enzymes, transporters and targets are known to be the main factors of inter-individual differences in therapeutic outcome. Genetic factors are estimated to be responsible ... -
Genetic diversity of the Organic Cation Transporter 1 gene within the Cape Coloured Population
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity of the SLC22A1 gene and to deduce its possible pharmacogenetic implications within the Cape Coloured population of South Africa; a uniquely admixed population ... -
Prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension and the pharmacogenomics of enalapril-induced adverse effects among patients in the Vhembe district
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)Controlling blood pressure (BP) among individuals with hypertension is important in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, maintaining optimal BP levels in individuals who are prone to drug-induced ...
