Hematopoietic Toxicity

Study of the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of methotrexate (MTX) pathway genes and MTX-related toxicity in the treatment of hematological malignancies is popular. Here, we studied the association between SNPs of MTHFR and ABCB1 and MTX-related toxicity in 157 adult Chinese patients diagnosed with hematological malignancies. Patients were genotyped for MTHFR rs1801131, MTHFR rs1801133, and ABCB1 rs1045642 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Patients with MTHFR rs1801133T allele had a significantly higher risk of hematopoietic toxicity compared with those with CC genotype (p=0.003). With respect to MTHFR rs1801131, patients with CC and AC genotypes had significantly lower frequency of hematopoietic toxicity than patients with AA genotype (p=0.044). In conclusion, we identified an important influence of the SNPs of ABCB1 and MTHFR on MTX-related hematopoietic toxicity in adults with hematological malignancies. To optimize high-dose (HD)-MTX therapy and reduce related hematopoietic toxicity, it is necessary to detect the SNPs of MTHFR and ABCB1 before initiating HD-MTX and deciding the optimal dose of MTX and duration of leucovorin rescue, according to genetic tests and disease type in adults with hematological malignancies.

Several genetic variants have been identified that cause variation among different populations and even within individuals of a similar descent. This leads to interindividual variations in the optimal dose of the drug that is required to sustain the treatment efficiency. In this study, 56 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within several pharmacogenes were analyzed in 128 unrelated subjects from a genetically isolated group of Circassian people living in Jordan. We also compared these variant distributions to other ethnic groups that are available at two databases (Genome 1000 and eXAC). Our results revealed that the distribution of allele frequencies within genes among Circassians in Jordan showed similarities and disparities when compared to other populations. This study provides a powerful base for clinically relevant SNPs to enhance medical research and future pharmacogenomic studies. Rare variants detected in isolated populations can significantly guide to novel loci involved in the development of clinically relevant traits.

Aim: This study determined if gene variants in the GABA receptor delta subunit ( GABRD) are associated with treatment response and dose in methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) for heroin addiction. Materials & methods: A total of 286 MMT patients were recruited and divided into response and nonresponse groups based on retention time in therapy. A total of 177 responders were classified into low dose and high dose subgroups according to the stabilized methadone dose. Four (single nucleotide polymorphisms) SNPs (rs13303344, rs4481796, rs2376805 and rs2229110) in GABRD were genotyped using the TaqMan SNP assay. Logistic regression was used to assess the genetic effects of the SNPs in MMT. Results: No significant associations were observed between the SNPs and treatment response or dose, except the frequency of haplotype ACGC at the four SNPs significantly differed between responders and nonresponders. Conclusion: The results indicated that GABRD variants may play a small role in modulating methadone treatment response.

Background. A deficiency in steroid 5α-reductase type 2 is an autosomal recessive disorder. Affected individuals manifested ambiguous genitalia, which is caused by decreased dihydrotestosterone (DHT) synthesis in the fetus. Methods. We analyzed 25 patients with 5α-reductase deficiency in China. Seventeen of the 25 patients (68%) were initially raised as females. Sixteen patients changed their social gender from female to male after puberty. Results. Eighteen mutations were identified in these patients. p.Gly203Ser and p.Gln6∗ were found to be the most prevalent mutations. On the basis of the genotype of these patients, we divided them into different groups. There was no significant difference in hormone levels and external masculinization score (EMS) in patients with or without these prevalent mutations. Twelve common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) near the p.Gln6∗ mutation were chosen for haplotype analysis. Three haplotypes were observed in 6 patients who had the p.Gln6∗ mutation (12 alleles). Conclusion. We analyzed mutations of the SRD5A2 gene in Chinese patients with 5α-reductase deficiency. Although hotspot mutations exist, no founder effect of prevalent mutations in the SRD5A2 gene was detected in the Chinese population.

Increased Risk

Abstract Primary aldosteronism (PA), also known as Conn’s syndrome, is a common curable cause of hypertension. Family studies of essential hypertensive patients suggest that heritable genetic factors play a role in blood pressure regulation1. Interestingly, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in genes encoding enzymes involved with adrenal steroidogenesis, CYP11B2, CYP11B1 and CYP17A1, associate with increased risk of hypertension2. Therefore, we analysed whether selected SNPs in these genes are associated with PA. We performed an association study using genotype imputation for selected SNPs of the steroidogenic enzyme genes CYP11B2 (rs4546, rs1799998, rs13268025), CYP11B1 (rs6410, rs149845727), and CYP17A1 (rs1004467, rs138009835, rs2150927) from a pilot genome wide association study of Malaysian PA patients and healthy controls which was merged with the Singapore Genome Variation Project (SGVP) population dataset3. Genotype imputation for minor and major alleles was validated using PCR sequencing (n>10 for each genotype). Further, one SNP from each steroidogenic enzyme (CYP11B2:rs1799998, CYP11B1:rs6410 and CYP17A1:rs1004467) was validated using commercial TaqMan genotyping assays on the ABI 7000 Sequence Detection System which was performed on 149 PA patients and 78 non-hypertensive healthy individuals. Case-control genetic association analysis was performed at http://www.oege.org/software/orcalc.html and the association between genotypes and phenotypes was done using the independent-samples Kruskal-Wallis test on SPSS (version 25). The Minor Allele Frequencies (MAFs) for rs1004467, rs6410 and rs1799998 were similar to East Asian populations but differed significantly different from European, African, American and South Asian populations (rs1004467 MAF: C=0.258/298, rs6410 MAF: A=0.265/298, rs1799998 MAF: C=0.225/298). In Chinese patients matched by gender, heterozygotes for rs6410 had significantly increased risk of PA compared to common homozygotes (OR: 3.15, 95% CI: 1.01–9.8, p=0.04). Across patients of different ethnicity, the distribution of aldosterone levels was significantly different (p=0.039). In summary, only SNP rs6410 in Chinese patients matched by gender showed association with PA in our South East Asian cohort. More functional experiments need to be done to find out whether this is causal for PA or whether the SNP is in linkage disequilibrium with the actual functional causative SNPs. Once the functional SNP is known, identification of these germline variants in asymptomatic family members would allow early screening of PA to be offered and potentially provide novel drug targets to treat the disease.

Abstract Abstract 4050 Introduction. We and others have described the efficacy of paclitaxel-based chemotherapy in mobilizing large amounts of hematopoietic progenitors (HP) both in patients with solid tumors,(Bone Marrow Transplant 2000;25:231–5), and with hematological malignancies (Haematologica 2008; 93:161–3). Like most drugs, the taxanes are not controlled by the actions of one gene, but believed to be dependent on several polymorphic proteins. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ABCB1 gene, which encodes the transport protein P-glycoprotein, or in in metabolic enzymes, such as CYP2C8, have been suggested to influence the pharmacokinetics and clinical response to paclitaxel. Aim. To retrospectively evaluate the effects of five known allelic variants in the CYP2C8, and ABCB1genes on the mobilization ability and toxicity of the anticancer agent paclitaxel. Patients and Methods. 107 patients with hematological malignancies (43 lymphoma, 41 myeloma, 23 acute leukemia) received paclitaxel 170 mg/m2 i.v. by continuous infusion for 24 hours (day 1) followed by 8 mg/kg s.c G-CSF daily until the last apheresis. 77% received this treatment after failure of mobilization with G-CSF, and the rest as first line therapy because of risk factors for failure to achieve successful mobilization. The genetic variants (ABCB1 rs1045642 A >G, ABCB1 rs2032582 C>A, ABCB1 rs2032582 C>T, CYP2C8 rs10509681 C>T, and CYP2C8 rs11572080 A>G), were genotyped by allelic discrimination polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays using TaqMan®Genotyping Assays (Applied Biosystems). The effect of genotypes on mobilization efficacy and on maximal hematological toxicity (according to the NCI version 3) was retrospectively assessed. Results. Allelic frequencies for rs1045642 A>G, rs2032582 C>A, rs2032582 C>T, rs10509681 C>T, and rs11572080 A>G variants, were 0.46, 0.40, 0.8, 0.13, and 0.13, respectively. Successful mobilization (>2 106/kg CD34+ cells) was achieved in 57% of patients. No reproducible significant associations between genotype and outcome (evaluated as number of CD34+ cells/kg in the first and total apheresis, number of collections performed, and on the mobilization success [p>0.05]), nor on myeloid or platelet toxicity (p>0.05) were found for any of the SNPs analyzed. Discussion. This study on a well-defined patient population suggests that the presently evaluated variant alleles in CYP2C8 and ABCB1 genes do not explain the substantial interindividual variability in the outcome or hematological toxicity of the mobilization schedule using paclitaxel and G-CSF. Funding. This study was supported in part by a research grants 04515/GERM/06; RECAVA RD06/0014/0039, and FIS 10/02594. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Control Study

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory and hyperproliferative skin disease affected by both genetic and environmental factors. The aim of the present study was to investigate polymorphisms in a candidate gene family of interleukin (IL) in unrelated Chinese patients with psoriasis and control subjects without psoriasis. In this case-control study, 200 unrelated Chinese psoriasis patients and 298 age- and sex-matched control subjects were enrolled. Genomic DNA was prepared from peripheral blood obtained from all psoriasis patients and control subjects. We genotyped seven single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in candidate genes of six ILs: IL4, IL10, IL12B, IL13, IL15, and IL23R, which have been shown in the literature to be associated with psoriasis in other ethnic groups. Among the seven SNPs in the six IL genes studied, only the rs3212227 in the IL12B gene was found to be associated with psoriasis at genotypic level in the studied population. The C/C genotype in the IL12B gene is a protective factor of psoriasis (P = 0.0218; OR = 0.51; 95% CI: 0.27–0.96) in Chinese. Furthermore, the studied Chinese population has extremely low minor allele frequency for IL23R. Together, the data reveal unique genetic patterns in Chinese that may be in part responsible for the lower risk for psoriasis in this population.
