Aim: To investigate the association of DNA methylation, genetic polymorphisms and mRNA level of aminolevulinate synthase 1 (ALAS1) with antituberculosis drug-induced liver injury (AT-DILI) risk.Methods: Based on a 1:1 matched case-control study with 182 cases and 182 controls, one CpG island and three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected. ALAS1 mRNA level was detected in 34 samples.Results: Patients with methylation status were at high risk of AT-DILI (odds ratio: 1.567, 95% CI: 1.015-2.421, p = 0.043) and SNP rs352169 was associated with AT-DILI risk (GA vs. GG, odds ratio: 1.770, 95% CI: 1.101-2.847, p = 0.019). ALAS1 mRNA level in the cases was significantly lower than that in the controls (0.75 ± 0.34 vs. 1.00 ± 0.42, p = 0.021).Conclusion: The methylation status and SNP rs352169 of ALAS1 were associated with AT-DILI risk.

This study aims to use machine learning model to predict laboratory aspirin resistance (AR) in Chinese stroke patients by incorporating patient characteristics and single nucleotide polymorphisms of GP1BA and LTC4S. 2405 patients were analyzed to measure the Mutation frequency of GP1BA rs6065 and LTC4S rs730012. 112 patients with first-stroke arteriostenosis were prospectively enrolled to establish machine learning model. GP1BA rs6065 mutation frequency is 5.26% and LTC4S rs730012 is 14.78%. GP1BA rs6065 CT patients have more sensitivity to aspirin than CC genotype. Simple linear regression identified significant associations with age, smoking, HDL and GP1BA rs6065. Random forest (RF) and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) demonstrated predictive capabilities for AR. Findings suggest pre-identifying GP1BA rs6065 could optimize aspirin treatment, enabling personalized care and future research avenues.

Background: Our objective was to explore the pharmacogenetic impact of three known functional variants in drug target genes and determine whether they can explain the inter-individual variation in therapeutic response.

Methods: In a post hoc analysis of data from randomized controlled clinical trials of chiglitazar, we genotyped 481 Chinese patients with T2DM and investigated the association of variants in PPAR genes with the therapeutic outcome separated by dose using linear regression.

Results: rs1800234, a gain-of-function variant of PPARA, had a dose-dependent pharmacogenetic impact on the therapeutic response to chiglitazar. The C allele was significantly associated with reduced therapeutic response in the 48 mg group, while no significant association was observed in the 32 mg group. In addition, in patients without the C allele, patients treated with 48 mg chiglitazar had a better therapeutic response than those treated with 32 mg chiglitazar. To the contrary, in patients with the C allele, patients treated with 48 mg chiglitazar had a worse therapeutic response than those treated with 32 mg of chiglitazar.

Conclusion: The PPARA variant rs1800234 had a dose-dependent pharmacogenetic impact on the therapeutic response to chiglitazar. It could help explain the absence of a dose effect of chiglitazar and serve as a potential biomarker for the chosen dose of chiglitazar in the future. In addition, our study provided important reference for the design and clinical application of multi-target drugs.

Aim: Successful treatment with tacrolimus to prevent graft versus host disease (GVHD) and minimize tacrolimus-related toxicities among allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) recipients is contingent upon quickly achieving and maintaining concentrations within a narrow therapeutic range. The primary objective was to investigate associations between CYP3A4, CYP3A5 or ABCB1 genotype and the proportion of patients that attained an initial tacrolimus goal concentration following initiation of intravenous (iv.) and conversion to oral administration. Materials & methods: We retrospectively evaluated 86 patients who underwent HLA-matched (8/8) related donor alloHCT and were prescribed a tacrolimus-based regimen for GVHD prophylaxis. Results & conclusion: The findings of the present study suggests that CYP3A5 genotype may impact attainment of initial therapeutic tacrolimus concentrations with oral administration in alloHCT recipients.

An increasing number of economic evaluations are published annually investigating the economic effectiveness of pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing. This work was designed to provide a comprehensive summary of the available utility methods used in cost-effectiveness/cost-utility analysis studies of PGx interventions. A comprehensive review was conducted to identify economic analysis studies using a utility valuation method for PGx testing. A total of 82 studies met the inclusion criteria. A majority of studies were from the USA and used the EuroQol-5D questionnaire, as the utility valuation method. Cardiovascular disorders was the most studied therapeutic area while discrete-choice studies mainly focused on patients' willingness to undergo PGx testing. Future research in applying other methodologies in PGx economic evaluation studies would improve the current research environment and provide better results.

Aims: To examine the associations between CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 polymorphisms, plasma oxycodone and metabolite concentrations, and oxycodone response (dose, pain scores, and adverse effects) in people with pain from advanced cancer.

Patients & methods: This multi-center prospective cohort study included clinical data, questionnaires (pain and adverse effects), and blood (pharmacokinetics, DNA). Negative binomial regression and logistic regression were used.

Results: Within 33 participants, there were no differences in oxycodone response between CYP2D6 intermediate/poor metabolisers compared to normal metabolisers.Higher plasma noroxycodone and noroxycodone/oxycodone concentration ratios had higher odds of uncontrolled average pain (OR 2.44 (95%CI 1.00-5.95), p = 0.05 and OR 10.48 (95%CI 1.42-77.15), p = 0.02, respectively).

Conclusions: There was no observed benefit in CYP2D6 genotyping in oxycodone response, however monitoring noroxycodone and oxymorphone concentrations warrant further examination.

Aim: Pharmacogenomics is emerging in South Asia, including Sri Lanka, with potential to optimize drug therapy and reduce adverse effects. This review evaluates the state of pharmacogenomics research in Sri Lanka, emphasizing population-specific factors to guide future advancements.Materials & methods: A literature search was performed across PubMed/Web-of-Science/SciVerse-Scopus/Embase, and Sri Lanka Journals Online, along with searches for relevant theses in local health repositories/university databases. Studies were categorized into clinical correlational, descriptive or novel assay development studies.Results: Eleven published articles and eight theses were included. One study examined somatic variants (KRAS gene), while all others focused on germline variants. There were two clinical correlational studies: tamoxifen adverse effects and CYP2D6 variants and FTO gene rs9939609 variants and weight gain caused by second-generation antipsychotics. Eight descriptive studies evaluated prevalence of CYP2D6 variants, HLA-B*15:02 allele, KRAS gene mutations and variants related to statin, warfarin and anticancer drug metabolism. Additionally, nine studies developed, validated and tested novel assays for detecting key pharmacogenomically important variants.Conclusion: While pharmacogenomics research in Sri Lanka has made strides, more clinical studies and broader genomic research are needed. Overcoming challenges related to funding, public awareness and regional collaboration is essential to advance personalized medicine and improve therapeutic outcomes in Sri Lanka and South Asia.

Aim: To summarize the effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the pharmacokinetics of allopurinol to control uric acid levels.Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus databases from inception to January 2024, includes 17 articles focusing on SNPs and pharmacokinetics of allopurinol and oxypurinol.Results: A total of 11 SNPs showed a significant association with pharmacokinetics of allopurinol and oxypurinol, as well as their potential clinical implications.Conclusion: SNPs in ATP-binding cassette super-family G member 2 (ABCG2), solute carrier family 2 member 9 (SLC2A9), solute carrier family 17 member 1 (SLC17A1), solute carrier family 22 member 12 (SLC22A12), solute carrier family 22 member 13 (SLC22A13) and PDZ domain containing 1 (PDZK1) genes were associated with allopurinol clearance, while SNPs in aldehyde oxidase 1 (AOX1) genes involved in metabolism of allopurinol. SNPs in gremlin 2, DAN family BMP antagonist (GREM2) gene impacted uric acid control, but the specific mechanism governing the expression of GREM2 remains unknown. Our study indicated that the identified SNPs show contradictory effects, reflecting inconsistencies and differences observed across various studies.

Aim: Thiopurine drugs are used in the treatment of various diseases including inflammatory bowel disease. Thiopurine-S-methyltransferase (TPMT) and inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase (ITPA) are the crucial enzymes involved in thiopurines metabolism. The present study aims to investigate in Tunisian patients, the influence of genetic and nongenetic factors on thiopurine drugs pharmacokinetics.Experimental approach: We have included patients having received thiopurine drugs and have undergone 6-thioguanine nucleotides (6-TGN) concentration monitoring. The identification of TPMT and ITPA polymorphisms was performed using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. The impact of both genetic and nongenetic factors on the variability of the 6-TGN C/D ratio was analyzed through a stepwise multiple regression model.Key results: One hundred and twenty-three patients were included in the study. For TPMT, the most frequent variant allele was TPMT*3B (3.3%). For ITPA, the predominant polymorphism was the c.IVS2 + 21A> C (7%). We have demonstrated that only gender, the TPMT*3A and TPMT*3C alleles are significantly involved on the variability of thiopurines pharmacokinetics.Conclusion: Our study is the first to evaluate, in African patients, the impact of both genetic and nongenetic factors on the thiopurine drugs pharmacokinetics. Considering the narrow therapeutic range of these drugs, TPMT genotyping combined with 6-TGN blood concentration monitoring may enhance their efficacy and safety.

Aim: To evaluate the association between irinotecan safety and the UGT1A1 gene polymorphism in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.Materials & methods: The studies were systematically searched and identified from three databases (PubMed, Embase and The Cochrane Library) until 28 February 2023. The relationships were evaluated using pooled odds ratio (OR).Results: A total of 30 studies out of 600 were included, comprising 4471 patients. UGT1A1*28 was associated with a statistically significant increase in the OR for diarrhea (OR: 1.59, 95% CI = 1.24-2.06 in the additive model; OR = 3.24, 95% CI = 2.01-5.21 in the recessive model; and OR = 1.95, 95% CI = 1.42-2.69 in the dominant model) and neutropenia (OR = 1.70, 95% CI = 1.40-2.06 in the additive model; OR = 4.10, 95%CI = 2.69-6.23 in the recessive model; and OR = 1.93, 95% CI = 1.61-2.31 in the dominant model). Subgroup analysis indicated consistent associations in both Asian and non-Asian populations. UGT1A1*6 was associated with a statistically significant elevation in the OR for diarrhea (only in the recessive model, OR = 2.42; 95% CI = 1.14-5.11) and neutropenia (across all genetic models).Conclusion: The UGT1A1*28 and UGT1A1*6 alleles might be a crucial indicator for predicting irinotecan safety in CRC.
