  • Title: [Pharmacogenomical aspects of gastroesophageal reflux disease].
    Author: Isaev VA.
    Journal: Vestn Ross Akad Med Nauk; 2005; (6):33-6. PubMed ID: 16022110.
    Abstract:
    The article covers the modem concept of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) pharmacogenomics. Special attention is payed to polymorphism of CYP2C19 gene and its influence on the metabolism of modern antisecretory agents, such as proton pump inhibitors (PPI). The authors summarize data which demonstrate that the differences in the pharmacodynamics and clinical effects of PPI are caused by CYP2C19 gene polymorphism. The paper shows that this factor should be considered when planning GERD therapy with PPI in order to achieve a complete remission and make the therapy economically rational.
