What is the relevance of the patient’s ethnicity (genetics)?

Pharmacists’ Patient Care Process (PPCP) Research Paper

The PPCP Research Paper should be 1‐2 pages, including references, and answer the following questions with peer‐reviewed references to support your

answers.

Questions to be answered:

1. What is the relevance of the patient’s ethnicity (genetics)?

2. What is the relevance of the patient’s diet (epigenetics)?

3. How do animal studies contribute to our understanding of the problem?

4. Have clinical research studies supported conclusions drawn from animal studies and is there a current clinical consensus regarding genetic factors, epigenetic

factors, and medical interventions? If not, what studies are needed to resolve any controversies?

5. What is the likely biochemistry underlying the development of the patient’s problem and resolution of the problem?

A minimum of three references are required:

1. One or more describing genetic factors that contribute to the patient’s problem.

2. One or more clinical studies that test possible dietary or pharmacological interventions.

3. One or more that define amino acids, other than glycine, that are likely to contribute to the development of the patient’s problem.
