Abstract
AIM Suicide accounts for over 800,000 deaths per year worldwide and is the tenth-leading cause of mortality in USA. Several studies have investigated cytochrome P450 CYP2D6 ultra-rapid metabolizer (UM) phenotype in relation to suicidality, with mixed results. This study tested the hypothesis of increased suicide risk among CYP2D6 UMs. PATIENTS & METHODS Among the 4264 state psychiatric hospital inpatients included, 2435 (57%) reported a prior suicide attempt. RESULTS No association between UM status and attempted suicide was observed in bivariate (odds ratio: 0.87; 95% CI: 0.53-1.25), multivariate (adjusted odds ratio: 0.89; 95% CI: 0.55-1.46), or risk-stratified analyses. CONCLUSION These results contrast with prior reports of increased suicidality among CYP2D6 UMs and highlight the pressing need to identify reliable screening methods to better address this persistent public health problem.

Peñas-Lledó E, Guillaume S, Naranjo MEG, Delgado A, Jaussent I, Blasco-Fontecilla H, Courtet P, LLerena A. A combined high CYP2D6-CYP2C19 metabolic capacity is associated with the severity of suicide attempt as measured by objective circumstances. THE PHARMACOGENOMICS JOURNAL 2014; 15:172-6. [PMID: 25113522 DOI: 10.1038/tpj.2014.42] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2014] [Revised: 06/10/2014] [Accepted: 06/18/2014] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
This study examined, for the first time, whether a high CYP2D6-CYP2C19 metabolic capacity combination increases the likelihood of suicidal intent severity in a large study cohort. Survivors of a suicide attempt (n=587; 86.8% women) were genotyped for CYP2C19 (*2, *17) and CYP2D6 (*3, *4, *4xN, *5, *6, *10, wtxN) genetic variation and evaluated with the Beck Suicide Intent Scale (SIS). Patients with a high CYP2D6-CYP2C19 metabolic capacity showed an increased risk for a severe suicide attempt (P<0.01) as measured by the SIS-objective circumstance subscale (odds ratio (OR)=1.37; 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.05-1.78; P=0.02) after adjusting for confounders (gender, age, level of studies, marital status, mental disorders, tobacco use, family history of suicide, personal history of attempts and violence of the attempt). Importantly, the risk was greater in those without a family history of suicide (OR=1.82; CI=1.19-2.77; P=0.002). Further research is warranted to evaluate whether the observed relationship is mediated by the role of CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 involvement in the endogenous physiology or drug metabolism or both.

Abstract
Individual and population differences in polymorphic cytochrome P450 enzyme function have been known for decades. The biological significance of these differences has now been deciphered with regard to drug metabolism, action and toxicity as well as disposition of endogenous substrates, including neuroactive compounds. While the cytochrome P450 enzymes occur abundantly in the liver, they are expressed in most tissues of the body, albeit in varying amounts, including the brain. The latter location of cytochrome P450s is highly pertinent for susceptibility to neuropsychiatric diseases, not to mention local drug metabolism at the site of psychotropic drug action in the brain. In the current era of personality medicine with companion theranostics (i.e. the fusion of therapeutics with diagnostics), this article underscores that such versatile biological roles of cytochrome P450s offer multiple points of entry for personalized medicine and rational therapeutics. We focus our discussion on CYP2D6, one of the most intensively researched drug and endogenous compound metabolism pathways, with a view to relevance for, and optimization of, pharmacogenomic-guided clinical trials. Working on the premise that CYP2D6 is related to human behaviour and certain personality traits such as serotonin and dopamine system function, we further suggest that the motivation of healthy volunteers to participate in clinical trials may in part be influenced by an under- or over-representation of certain CYP2D6 metabolic groups.
