The Emerging Role of Admixture in the Pharmacogenetics of Puerto Rican Hispanics
Author(s): Jorge Duconge and Gualberto RuañoJorge Duconge and Gualberto Ruaño
Admixture is of great relevance to the clinical application of pharmacogenetics and personalized medicine. Preliminary fi ndings in Puerto Ricans further substantiate the argument for admixture as a critical covariate in a customized DNA-guided warfarin dosing algorithm. To this purpose, a genome-wide approach that incorporates admixture as an independent predictor of dose variability in DNA-guided algorithms has been postulated. Admixture is expected to be able to reveal some relevant associations in the genetic epidemiology of Hispanics and will be indispensable to assure that pharmacogenomic research can be pursued in such mixed populations. Consequently, the clinical utility of knowing an individual’s genotype before initiating drug treatment in Puerto Ricans, and Hispanics in general, will fi nally be untangled by developing a &ld..
