From the Guidelines
The patient's genetic profile is associated with several diseases and conditions, including thyroid disorders, psychiatric conditions, celiac disease, hemochromatosis, certain cancers, and metabolic abnormalities, while also affecting medication metabolism. The GLIS1/PAX8 genes are linked to thyroid development and function, suggesting potential thyroid disorders 1. Her serotonin transporter gene polymorphism (long promoter) and serotonin receptor 2A polymorphism (-1438G>A) are associated with psychiatric conditions including depression, anxiety disorders, and response to antidepressant medications 1. The presence of HLA-A*3101 allele indicates increased risk for carbamazepine-induced adverse drug reactions. Her CYP enzyme profile shows she is an extensive (normal) metabolizer for most enzymes except CYP1A2, where she is an ultrarapid metabolizer, affecting how she processes certain medications. The APOE ε4 variant increases risk for Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular disorders 1. HLA-DQ2.5 is strongly associated with celiac disease susceptibility. The HFE C282Y variant is linked to hereditary hemochromatosis (iron overload) 1. The NBN 657del5 mutation increases cancer risk, particularly for lymphoid malignancies. The MTHFR A1298C variant may affect folate metabolism, potentially impacting cardiovascular health and neural tube development. The rs5082 marker near APOA2 is associated with dietary fat metabolism and obesity risk. Some key points to consider are:
- The patient's genetic profile suggests a high risk for certain diseases, including thyroid disorders, psychiatric conditions, and celiac disease.
- The patient's CYP enzyme profile affects how she processes certain medications, which is important to consider when prescribing medications.
- The patient's APOE ε4 variant increases her risk for Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular disorders, which is important to consider when developing a treatment plan.
- The patient's HFE C282Y variant is linked to hereditary hemochromatosis, which requires regular monitoring and treatment to prevent complications.
- The patient's NBN 657del5 mutation increases her cancer risk, particularly for lymphoid malignancies, which requires regular monitoring and screening.
- The patient's MTHFR A1298C variant may affect folate metabolism, which is important to consider when developing a treatment plan.
- The patient's rs5082 marker near APOA2 is associated with dietary fat metabolism and obesity risk, which is important to consider when developing a treatment plan.
From the Research
Disease Associations
The patient's genes are associated with the following diseases:
- Celiac disease: The patient has the HLA-DQ2.5 gene, which is a major risk factor for celiac disease 2.
- Alzheimer's disease: The patient has the APOE ε4 allele, which is the strongest genetic risk factor for sporadic Alzheimer's disease 3.
- Autoimmune diseases: The patient has a shared genetic etiology of autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and Crohn's disease 4.
- Hemochromatosis: The patient has the C282Y variant in the HFE gene, which is associated with an increased risk of hemochromatosis.
- Breast cancer and other cancers: The patient has the A1298C variant in the MTHFR gene, which has been associated with an increased risk of breast cancer and other cancers.
