- Give typed explanation Pharmacogenetics is the study of the effects of genetic factors on drug responses in patients. Interindividual differences in the sequences of genes that encode the drug’s molecular target or transporters, or the enzymes responsible for drug metabolism, can profoundly affect the success or failure of a drug or therapeutic. Which of the following genetic variations would NOT lead to pharmacodynamic variation? Genetic variation leading to altered activity of enzymes involved in drug metabolism. Genetic variation leading to altered expression of the drug’s molecular target. Genetic variation leading to decreased affinity of a drug for a receptor. Genetic variation leading to altered downstream signaling. unansweredarrow_forwardThis has 3 parts, please answer and explain in deptharrow_forwardBugRx is a new biotechnology company in Cambridge, Massachusetts, developing human monoclonal antibodies made in insect cells. The CEO, Dr. Bugsbunny, has convened a Board Meeting to discuss research proposals and budgets. The VP of Research & Development, Karen Hucklebug, gives an update on the Factor 801A program. Factor 801A is new signal transduction molecule that is important for the growth of ovarian cancer cells. She explains that the structure of the antibody binding to 810A has been finalized and production is on schedule in Luv Bug, Ireland. The CMO, Dr. David Sprayberry, reminds the Board that several pathologists have reported high levels of Factor 801A in ovarian cancer cells and it is a significant prognostic factor. The American Cancer Society estimates that 14,070 women died of ovarian cancer in the United States in 2018 Propose a protocol (~100 words) to study the efficacy of the antibody in this mouse model.arrow_forward
