Consensus guidelines for genotype-guided fluoropyrimidine dosing based on variation in the dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPYD) gene before treatment have been firmly established. The prior pharmacogenetic report avoids the serious toxicity that inevitably occurred in a non-negligible percentage of the treated patients. The precise description of the allelic distribution of the variants of interest in our reference populations is information of great interest for the management of the prescription of these antineoplastic drugs. We characterized the allelic distribution of the UGT1A1*28 variant (rs3064744), as well as the DPYD*2A (rs3918290) variant, c.1679T>G (rs55886062), c.2846A>T (rs67376798) and c.1129-5923C>G (rs75017182; HapB3) in series of 5251 patients who are going to receive treatment with irinotecan and fluoropyrimidines, representative of Valencian, Aragonese and Western Andalusian populations.

Purpose: This umbrella review was conducted to summarize the association between HLA*1502 allele with antiepileptic induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN).

Methods: Pubmed, Scopus and EMBASE were searched for eligible reviews in May 2023. Two authors independently screened titles and abstracts and assessed full-text reviews for eligibility. The quality of meta-analyses and case-control studies was appraised with Assessing the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews 2 and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, respectively. Narrative summaries of each antiepileptic drug were analyzed. Preestablished protocol was registered on the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews Registry(ID: CRD42023403957).

Results: Included studies are systematic reviews, meta-analyses and case-control studies evaluating the association of HLA-B*1502 allele with the following antiepileptics. Seven meta-analyses for carbamazepine, three meta-analyses for lamotrigine (LTG), three case-control studies for oxcarbazepine, nine case-control studies for phenytoin and four case-control studies for phenobarbitone were included. The findings of this umbrella review suggest that there is a strong association between HLA-B-1502 with SJS/TEN for carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine and a milder association for lamotrigine and phenytoin.

Conclusion: In summary, although HLA-B*1502 is less likely to be associated with phenytoin or lamotrigine-induced SJS/TEN compared to carbamazepine-induced SJS/TEN, it is a significant risk factor that if carefully screened, could potentially reduce the development of SJS/TEN. In view of potential morbidity and mortality, HLA-B*1502 testing may be beneficial in patients who are initiating lamotrigine/phenytoin therapy. However, further studies are required to examine the association of other alleles with the development of SJS/TEN and to explore the possibility of genome-wide association studies before initiation of treatment.

Objectives: Given the high prevalence of fast-metabolizing alcohol dehydrogenase-1B*2 (ADH1B*2 ) and inactive aldehyde dehydrogenase-2*2 (ALDH2*2 ) alleles in East Asians, we evaluated how the ADH1B / ALDH2 genotypes and alcohol flushing might affect the development of alcohol dependence (AD).

Methods: We evaluated how the ADH1B / ALDH2 genotypes and self-reported alcohol flushing affected history of drinking events and withdrawal symptoms and ICD-10 criteria in 4116 Japanese AD men.

Results: The ADH1B*1/*1 group and ALDH2*1/*1 group were 1-5 years younger than the ADH1B*2 (+) and ALDH2*1/*2 groups, respectively, for all of the ages at onset of habitual drinking, blackouts, daytime drinking, uncontrolled drinking, withdrawal symptoms, and first treatment for AD, and the current age. Blackouts were more common in the ADH1B*1/*1 group and ALDH2*1/*1 group. Daytime drinking, uncontrolled drinking, and withdrawal symptoms, such as hand tremor, sweating, convulsions, and delirium tremens/hallucinations were more common in the ADH1B*1/*1 group. The ADH1B*1/*1 was positively associated with the ICD-10 criteria for 'tolerance' and 'withdrawal symptoms'. The ADH1B*1/*1 group and ALDH2*1/*2 group had a larger ICD-10 score. Never flushing was reported by 91.7% and 35.2% of the ALDH2*1/*1 and ALDH2*1/*2 carriers, respectively. After a 1-2-year delay in the onset of habitual drinking in the former-/current-flushing group, no differences in the ages of the aforementioned drinking milestones were found according to the flushing status.

Conclusion: The ADH1B*1/*1 and ALDH2*1/*1 accelerated the development of drinking events and withdrawal symptoms in Japanese AD patients. ICD-10 score was larger in the ADH1B*1/*1 group and ALDH2*1/*2 group. The effects of alcohol flushing on drinking events were limited.

CYP2D6 is a highly polymorphic gene with clinically important structural variations. Commonly, only exon 9 is assayed on clinical pharmacogenomics panels, as it allows for accurate functional characterization even in the presence of a CYP2D6::CYP2D7 conversion. However, this method does not capture CYP2D7::CYP2D6 (CYP2D6*13) conversions, possibly leading to inaccurate phenotype assignment. The study's purpose was to determine the frequency of structural variations in CYP2D6 utilizing multiple copy number variation (CNV) assay locations to quantify the potential impact on clinical phenotype classification. A retrospective analysis was conducted of de-identified pharmacogenomics data submitted through the Translational Software, Inc. platform. Samples with CYP2D6 CNV data for exon 9 and at least one additional CNV location (5'UTR, exon 1, intron 2, exon 5 or intron 6) were included. CYP2D7::CYP2D6 and CYP2D6::CYP2D7 conversions were classified according to PharmVar nomenclature. The CYP2D6 copies were capped at four total copies to account for assay limitations in detecting more than four copies. A total of 106,474 samples were included for analysis. CYP2D7::CYP2D6 conversions were present in approximately 2.44% of samples, and 5.84% of samples had CYP2D6::CYP2D7 conversions. Many samples did not have a CYP2D7 conversion detected (91.5%; 97,462/106,474). A full gene deletion was detected in 0.15%, and 5.98% had a duplication or multiplication present. This retrospective study underscores the importance of testing more than one CNV site for CYP2D6 . Over 2% of patients were found to have a CYP2D7::CYP2D6 conversion. This translates into potentially misclassified phenotype classification and incongruent clinical recommendations.

The use of genome-wide genotyping arrays in pharmacogenomics (PGx) research and clinical implementation applications is increasing but it is unclear which arrays are best suited for these applications. Here, we conduct a comparative coverage analysis of PGx alleles included on genome-wide genotyping arrays, with an emphasis on alleles in genes with PGx-based prescribing guidelines. Genomic manifest files for seven arrays including the Axiom Precision Medicine Diversity Array (PMDA), Axiom PMDA Plus, Axiom PangenomiX, Axiom PangenomiX Plus, Infinium Global Screening Array, Infinium Global Diversity Array (GDA) and Infinium GDA with enhanced PGx (GDA-PGx) Array, were evaluated for coverage of 523 star alleles across 19 pharmacogenes included in prescribing guidelines developed by the Clinical Pharmacogenetic Implementation Consortium and Dutch Pharmacogenomics Working Group. Specific attention was given to coverage of the Association of Molecular Pathology's Tier 1 and Tier 2 allele sets for CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, NUDT15, TPMT and VKORC1 . Coverage of the examined PGx alleles was highest for the Infinium GDA-PGx (88%), Axiom PangenomiX Plus (77%), Axiom PangenomiX (72%) and Axiom PMDA Plus (70%). Three arrays (Infinium GDA-PGx, Axiom PangenomiX Plus and Axiom PMDA Plus) fully covered the Tier 1 alleles and the Axiom PangenomiX array provided full coverage of Tier 2 alleles. In conclusion, PGx allele coverage varied by gene and array. A superior array for all PGx applications was not identified. Future comparative analyses of genotype data produced by these arrays are needed to determine the robustness of the reported coverage estimates.

Objectives: Genetic variation has been a major contributor to interindividual variability of warfarin dosage requirement. The specific genetic factors contributing to warfarin bleeding complications are largely unknown, particularly in Chinese patients. In this study, 896 Chinese patients were enrolled to explore the effect of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genetic variations on both the efficacy and safety of warfarin therapy.

Methods and results: Univariate analyses unveiled significant associations between two specific single nucleotide polymorphisms rs1057910 in CYP2C9 and rs9923231 in VKORC1 and stable warfarin dosage ( P  < 0.001). Further, employing multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, sex and height, the investigation revealed that patients harboring at least one variant allele in CYP2C9 exhibited a heightened risk of bleeding events compared to those with the wild-type genotype (odds ratio = 2.16, P  = 0.04). Moreover, a meta-analysis conducted to consolidate findings confirmed the associations of both CYP2C9 (rs1057910) and VKORC1 (rs9923231) with stable warfarin dosage. Notably, CYP2C9 variant genotypes were significantly linked to an increased risk of hemorrhagic complications ( P  < 0.00001), VKORC1 did not demonstrate a similar association.

Conclusion: The associations found between specific genetic variants and both stable warfarin dosage and bleeding risk might be the potential significance of gene detection in optimizing warfarin therapy for improving patient efficacy and safety.

Third-generation aromatase inhibitors (AI) are the standard treatment for patients with hormone receptor positive (HR+) breast cancer. While effective, AI can lead to severe adverse events, including AI-induced musculoskeletal syndrome (AIMSS). Genetic predictors of AIMSS have the potential to personalize AI treatment and improve outcomes. We attempted to replicate results from a previous genome-wide association study that found a lower risk of AIMSS in patients carrying PPP1R14C rs912571 and a higher risk in patients carrying CCDC148 rs79048288. AIMSS data were collected prospectively from patients with HR+ breast cancer prior to starting and after 3 and 6 months of adjuvant AI via the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Endocrine Symptom. Germline genotypes for PPP1R14C rs912571 and CCDC148 rs79048288 were tested for a similar association with AIMSS as previously reported via $2 tests. Of the 143 patients with AIMSS and genetics data were included in the analysis. There was no association identified between PPP1R14C rs912571 and AIMSS risk ( P  > 0.05). Patients carrying CCDC148 rs79048288 variant alleles had lower AIMSS incidence in a secondary analysis ( P  = 0.04); however, this was in the opposite direction of the previous finding. The study did not replicate previously reported associations with AIMSS risk for genetic variants in PPP1R14C and CCDC148 and AIMSS risk. Further research is needed to discover and validate genetic predictors of AIMSS that can be used to personalize treatment in patients with HR+ breast cancer.

Objective: We aim to develop a personalized dosing tool for tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) that integrates CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 gene variants and their effects while also considering the polypharmacy effect.

Methods: The study first adopted a scoring system that assigns weights to each genetic variant. A formula was then developed to compute the effect of both genes' variants on drug dosing. The output of the formula was assessed by a comparison with the clinical pharmacogenetics implementation consortium recommendation. The study also accounts for the effect of the co-administration of inhibitors and inducers on drug metabolism. Accordingly, a user-friendly tool, Clinical Dosing Tool ver.2, was created to assist clinicians in dosing patients on TCAs.

Results: The study provides a comprehensive list of all alleles with corresponding activity values and phenotypes for both enzymes. The tool calculated an updated area under the curve ratio that utilizes the effects of both enzymes' variants for dose adjustment. The tool provided a more accurate individualized dosing that also integrates the polypharmacy effect.

Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, the literature misses such a tool that provides a numerical adjusted dose based on continuous numerical activity scores for the considered patients' alleles and phenoconversion.
