Although, several drug-gene relationships are characterized to date, many challenges still remain toward the application of pharmacogenomics in the clinic; clinical guidelines for pharmacogenomic testing are still in their infancy, whereas the emerging high throughput genotyping technologies produce a tsunami of new findings. Herein, the potential of whole genome sequencing on pharmacogenomics research and clinical application are highlighted.

Mutation screening of DNA samples, obtained from tumor specimens from 98 individuals with breast cancer, by a combined polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analysis showed that the index case had a somatic mutation identified to be a 23-bp deletion in exon 5 of the p53 gene.

DNA sequence analysis revealed a 1368 GCC-->CCC base substitution in exon 3 of the beta-globin gene, leading to the Ala-->Pro amino acid change at codon 129. Both the proband and her mother, who were found to be heterozygotes for Hb Crete, presented with mild microcytic anemia and normal Hb A2 levels and iron metabolism indices. This is the first description of an heterozygous Hb Crete case, and also the first report on the molecular basis of Hb Crete. Moreover, the proposed NlaVI restriction enzyme-based detection of Hb Crete at the DNA level is a fast and accurate approach, useful for molecular diagnostics.

We report the construction of the Hellenic National Mutation database (http://www.goldenhelix.org/hellenic), a prototype database derived from a multicenter academic initiative, aiming to provide high quality and up-to-date information on the underlying genetic heterogeneity of inherited disorders found in the Hellenic population. Database records include informative summaries of the various genetic disorders studied in the Hellenic population, focused in particular on their incidence in Greece, a comprehensive reference list, and a well-structured query interface, which provides easy access to the list of the different mutations responsible for the inherited disorders in the Hellenic population. Also, extensive links to the respective Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) entries and, when available, to the locus-specific databases are provided, so that the user can retrieve the maximum amount of information from a single website. Furthermore, the Hellenic National Mutation database design allows easy data entry and curation. Creation of the Hellenic National Mutation database will significantly facilitate molecular diagnosis of inherited disorders in Greece and will motivate further investigation of yet unknown genetic diseases in the Hellenic population.
