Known genetic variations in dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (gene name DPYD ) do not fully predict patients at risk for severe fluoropyrimidine-associated chemotherapy toxicity. Dihydropyrimidinase (gene name DPYS ), the second catabolic enzyme in fluoropyrimidine metabolism, has been noted as a potential determinant of variation in fluoropyrimidine metabolism and response. In this study, we genotyped for DPYS c.-1T>C (rs2959023), c.265-58T>C (rs2669429) and c.541C>T (rs36027551) in a Canadian cohort of 248 patients who were wild type for Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium recommended DPYD variants and had received a standard dose of fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy. None of our patients were found to carry the DPYS c.541C>T variant, while the minor allele frequencies were 63% and 54% for c.-1T>C and c.265-58T>C, respectively. There was no association between DPYS c.-1T>C wild type and heterozygote [odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval, CI) = 1.10 (0.51-2.40)] or homozygote variant carriers [OR (95% CI) = 1.22 (0.55-2.70)], or between DPYS c.265-58T>C wild-type patients and heterozygote [OR (95% CI) = 0.93 (0.48-1.80)] or homozygote variant carriers [OR (95% CI) = 0.76 (0.37-1.55)] in terms of fluoropyrimidine-associated toxicity. Therefore, in our cohort of mostly Caucasian Canadians, genetic variations in DPYS do not appear to be a significant contributor to severe fluoropyrimidine-associated toxicity.

Objective: The impact of CYP2C19 genotype on clopidogrel outcomes is one of the most well established pharmacogenetic interactions, supported by robust evidence and recommended by the Food and Drug Administration and clinical pharmacogenetics implementation consortium. However, there is a scarcity of large-scale real-world data on the extent of this pharmacogenetic effect, and clinical testing for the CYP2C19 genotype remains infrequent. This study utilizes the UK Biobank dataset, including 10 365 patients treated with clopidogrel, to offer the largest observational analysis of these pharmacogenetic effects to date.

Methods: Incorporating time-varying drug exposure and repeated clinical outcome, we adopted semiparametric frailty models to detect and quantify exposure-based effects of CYP2C19 (*2,*17) variants and nongenetic factors on the incidence risks of composite outcomes of death or recurrent hospitalizations due to major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) or hemorrhage in the entire cohort of clopidogrel-treated patients.

Results: Out of the 10 365 clopidogrel-treated patients, 40% (4115) experienced 10 625 MACE events during an average follow-up of 9.23 years. Individuals who received clopidogrel (coverage >25%) with a CYP2C19*2 loss-of-function allele had a 9.4% higher incidence of MACE [incidence rate ratios (IRR), 1.094; 1.044-1.146], but a 15% lower incidence of hemorrhage (IRR, 0.849; 0.712-0.996). These effects were stronger with high clopidogrel exposure. Conversely, the gain-of-function CYP2C19*17 variant was associated with a 5.3% lower incidence of MACE (IRR, 0.947; 0.903-0.983). Notably, there was no evidence of *2 or *17 effects when clopidogrel exposure was low, confirming the presence of a drug-gene interaction.

Conclusion: The impact of CYP2C19 on clinical outcomes in clopidogrel-treated patients is substantial, highlighting the importance of incorporating genotype-based prescribing into clinical practice, regardless of the reason for clopidogrel use or the duration of treatment. Moreover, the methodology introduced in this study can be applied to further real-world investigations of known drug-gene and drug-drug interactions and the discovery of novel interactions.

Antiplatelets and anticoagulants are extensively used in cardiovascular medicine for the prevention and treatment of thrombosis in the venous and arterial circulations. Wide inter-individual variability has been observed in response to antiplatelets and anticoagulants, which triggered researchers to investigate the genetic basis of this variability. Data from extensive pharmacogenetic studies pointed to strong evidence of association between polymorphisms in candidate genes and the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic action and clinical response of the antiplatelets clopidogrel and the anticoagulant warfarin. In this review, we conducted an extensive search on Medline for the time period of 2009-2023. We also searched the PharmGKB website for levels of evidence of variant-drug combinations and for drug labels and clinical guidelines. We focus on the pharmacogenetics of novel antiplatelets and anticoagulants while excluding acetylsalicylic acid, warfarin and heparins, and discuss the current knowledge with emphasis on the level of evidence.

Background: Many factors affect the survival rate after kidney transplantation, including laboratory tests, medicine therapy and pharmacogenomics. Tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil and methylprednisolone were used as an immunosuppressive regimen after kidney transplantation. The primary goal of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the tacrolimus concentrations and mycophenolate mofetil area under the curve of mycophenolic acid AUC-MPA. Secondary goals were to study the association between perioperative period laboratory tests, medicine therapy, CYP3A5 genetic polymorphisms, and survival rate in kidney renal transplant patients.

Methods: A total of 303 patients aged above 18 years were enrolled in this study. Their clinical characteristics, laboratory tests, and medicine therapy regimens were collected. We followed the patients for survival for 1 year after kidney transplantation.

Results: Multivariable logistic analyses reveal that age greater than 50 years, and the CY3A5 *3*3 genotype were independently, positively, and significantly related to tacrolimus C/D ratio at 7 days. At 1 month of follow-up, only CYP3A5 *3*3 was associated with tacrolimus C/D ratio. Basiliximab, Imipenem and cilastatin sodium, sex were associated with mycophenolate mofetil AUC-MPA at 7 days. In the COX regression analysis, a high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level≥1 mmol/L was identified as a positive independent risk factors for the survival rate, while a creatinine level ≥200 μmol/L was a negatively independent risk factors for survival rate.

Conclusion: These results suggest that age, genes, and drug-drug interaction can affect the concentration of tacrolimus.

Objectives: HLA-B*13:01 was strongly associated with Dapsone Hypersensitivity Syndrome (DHS). This study aimed to develop and validate a rapid and economical method for HLA-B*13:01 genotyping.

Methods: Two tubes multiplex real-time PCR detection system comprising amplification refractory mutation system primers and TaqMan probes was established for HLA-B*13:01 genotyping. Sequence-based typing was applied to validate the accuracy of the assay.

Results: The accuracy of the assay was 100% for HLA-B*13:01 genotyping. The detection limit of the new method was 0.025 ng DNA. The positive rate of HLA-B*13:01 in the Bouyei (20%, n = 50) populations was significantly higher than that in the Uighur population (4%, n = 100), Han (4.5%, n = 200), and Tibetan (1%, n = 100) ( P  < 0.05).

Conclusion: The proposed method is rapid and reliable for HLA-B*13:01 screening in a clinical setting.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the combined effect of CYP3A5*3, CYP3A4*22, and POR*28 genetic polymorphisms on tacrolimus and cyclosporine dose requirements.

Methods: One hundred thirty renal transplant patients placed on either tacrolimus or cyclosporine were recruited, where the effect of CYP3A5*3, CYP3A4*22, and POR*28 genetic polymorphisms on their dose requirements were studied at days 14, 30, and 90 post-transplantations.

Results: The POR*28 allele frequency in the studied population was 29.61%. The tacrolimus dose-adjusted trough concentration ratio (C0/D) was significantly lower in the fast metabolizers group ( CYP3A5*1/POR*28(CT/TT ) carriers) than in the poor metabolizers group ( CYP3A5*3/*3/CYP3A4*22 carriers) throughout the study (14, 30, and 90 days) ( P = 0.001, <0.001, and 0.003, respectively). Meanwhile, there was no significant effect of this gene combination on cyclosporine C0/D.

Conclusion: Combining the CYP3A5*3, POR*28 , and CYP3A4*22 genotypes can have a significant effect on early tacrolimus dose requirements determination and adjustments. However, it does not have such influence on cyclosporine dose requirements.

Background: Excessive weight gain affects some persons with HIV after switching to integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)-containing antiretroviral therapy (ART). We studied associations between CYP2B6 genotype and weight gain after ART switch among ACTG A5001 and A5322 participants.

Methods: Eligible participants switched from efavirenz- to INSTI-containing ART, had genotype data, and had weight data at least once from 4 weeks to 2 years post-switch. Multivariable linear mixed effects models adjusted for race/ethnicity, CD4, age, BMI and INSTI type assessed relationships between CYP2B6 genotype and estimated differences in weight change.

Results: A total of 159 eligible participants switched ART from 2007 to 2019, of whom 138 had plasma HIV-1 RNA < 200 copies/mL (65 CYP2B6 normal, 56 intermediate, 17 poor metabolizers). Among participants with switch HIV-1 RNA < 200 copies/mL, weight increased in all 3 CYP2B6 groups. The rate of weight gain was greater in CYP2B6 poor than in CYP2B6 normal metabolizers overall, and within 9 subgroups (male, female, White, Black, Hispanic, dolutegravir, elvitegravir, raltegravir, and TDF in the pre-switch regimen); only in Hispanic and elvitegravir subgroups were these associations statistically significant ( P  < 0.05). Compared to normal metabolizers, CYP2B6 intermediate status was not consistently associated with weight gain.

Conclusion: CYP2B6 poor metabolizer genotype was associated with greater weight gain after switch from efavirenz- to INSTI-containing ART, but results were inconsistent. Weight gain in this setting is likely complex and multifactorial.

Objectives: To determine whether follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) genotype influences the outcome of ovarian stimulation treatment in luteal phase.

Methods: A total of 299 patients were included in a retrospective study between July 2017 and December 2021. These patients carried out a double stimulation protocol and the variant Asn680Ser (rs6166; c.2039A>G) of FSH receptor was genotyped either as part of the pre-treatment fertility tests or for the current study. Patients undergoing a double stimulation treatment who could not be genotyped were excluded from this analysis.

Results: The results obtained from ovarian stimulation in luteal phase were better than those obtained in conventional follicular phase. Statistically significant differences ( P  < 0.001) were found in the number of retrieved oocytes (5.47 vs. 4.18), retrieved MII (4.52 vs. 3.29) and fertilised oocytes (3.81 vs. 2.20). Furthermore, these differences remained regardless of the FSH receptor genotype for the 680 position in all groups ( P  < 0.05). In addition, stimulation in luteal phase lasts longer and requires more gonadotropins than in follicular phase. This is especially noteworthy in patients with Ser/Ser genotype, who required a slightly higher dose of gonadotropins compared to other genotypes in luteal phase, as previously observed in the follicular phase for this genotype. No significant differences in age, anti-Müllerian hormone levels, antral follicle count, BMI and type of trigger used in luteal phase were observed among groups of patients with different FSH receptor genotypes.

Conclusion: All patients undergoing IVF seem to benefit from luteal phase ovarian stimulation, regardless of their FSHR genotype.
