Targeted next-generation sequencing panel to investigate antiplatelet adverse reactions in acute coronary syndrome patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting. Thromb Res 2024; 240:109060. [PMID: 38875847 DOI: 10.1016/j.thromres.2024.109060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
Antiplatelet therapy, the gold standard of care for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is one of the therapeutic approaches most associated with the development of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Although numerous studies have shown that pharmacological intervention based on a limited number of high-evidence variants (primarily CYP2C19*2 and *3) can reduce the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), ADRs still occur at variable rates (10.1 % in our case) despite personalized therapy. This study aimed to identify novel genetic variants associated with the endpoint of MACEs 12 months after PCI by designing and analyzing a targeted gene panel. We sequenced 244 ACS-PCI-stent patients (109 with event and 135 without event) and 99 controls without structural cardiovascular disease and performed an association analysis to search for unexpected genetic variants. No single nucleotide polymorphisms reached genomic significance after correction, but three novel variants, including ABCA1 (rs2472434), KLB (rs17618244), and ZNF335 (rs3827066), may play a role in MACEs in ACS patients. These genetic variants are involved in regulating high-density lipoprotein levels and cholesterol deposition, and as they are regulatory variants, they may affect the expression of nearby lipid metabolism-related genes. Our findings suggest new targets (both at the gene and pathway levels) that may increase susceptibility to MACEs, but further research is needed to clarify the role and impact of the identified variants before these findings can be incorporated into the therapeutic decision-making process.

Abstract
Enzalutamide is an oral androgen receptor signaling inhibitor utilized in the treatment of men with prostate cancer. It is a moderate inducer of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes CYP2C9 and CYP2C19, and a strong inducer of CYP3A4. It was also shown to be a mild inhibitor of the efflux transporter P-glycoprotein in patients with prostate cancer. Enzalutamide is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP2C8. The risk of enzalutamide drug interactions arises primarily when it is coadministered with other drugs that interact with these CYPs, including CYP3A4. In this review, we begin by providing an overview of enzalutamide including its dosing, use in special populations, pharmacokinetics, changes to its prescribing information, and potential for interaction with coadministered drugs. Enzalutamide interactions with drugs from a wide range of medication classes commonly prescribed to patients with prostate cancer are described, including oral androgen deprivation therapy, agents used to treat a range of cardiovascular diseases, antidiabetic drugs, antidepressants, anti-seizure medications, common urology medications, analgesics, proton pump inhibitors, immunosuppressants, and antigout drugs. Enzalutamide interactions with common vitamins and supplements are also briefly discussed. This review provides a resource for healthcare practitioners and patients that will help provide a basis for the understanding and management of enzalutamide drug-drug interactions to inform decision making, improve patient safety, and optimize drug efficacy.

Abstract
Pharmacokinetics plays a central role in understanding the significant interindividual differences that exist in drug metabolism and response. Effectively addressing these differences requires a multi-faceted approach that encompasses a variety of tools and methods. In this review, we examine three key strategies to achieve this goal, namely pharmacogenomics, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and liquid biopsy-based monitoring of hepatic ADME gene expression and highlight their advantages and limitations. We note that larger cohort studies are needed to validate the utility of liquid biopsy-based assessment of hepatic ADME gene expression, which includes prediction of drug metabolism in the clinical setting. Modern mass spectrometers have improved traditional TDM methods, offering versatility and sensitivity. In addition, the identification of endogenous or dietary markers for CYP metabolic traits offers simpler and more cost-effective alternatives to determine the phenotype. We believe that future pharmacogenomic applications in clinical practice should prioritize the identification of missing heritable factors, using larger, well-characterized patient studies and controlling for confounding factors such as diet, concomitant medication and physical health. The intricate regulation of ADME gene expression implies that large-scale studies combining long-read next-generation sequencing (NGS) of complete genomes with phenotyping of patients taking different medications are essential to identify these missing heritabilities. The continuous integration of such data into AI-driven analytical systems could provide a comprehensive and useful framework. This could lead to the development of highly effective algorithms to improve genetics-based precision treatment by predicting drug metabolism and response, significantly improving clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Adverse drug reactions (ADR) represent a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality, imposing a substantial financial burden. Genetic ancestry plays a crucial role in drug response. The aim of this study is to characterize the genetic variability of selected pharmacogenes involved with ADR in Tunisians and Italians, with a comparative analysis against global populations. A cohort of 135 healthy Tunisians and 737 Italians were genotyped using a SNP array. Variants located in 25 Very Important Pharmacogenes implicated in ADR were extracted from the genotyping data. Distribution analysis of common variants in Tunisian and Italian populations in comparison to 24 publicly available worldwide populations was performed using PLINK and R software. Results from Principle Component and ADMIXTURE analyses showed a high genetic similarity among Mediterranean populations, distinguishing them from Sub-Saharan African and Asian populations. The Fst comparative analysis identified 27 variants exhibiting significant differentiation between the studied populations. Among these variants, four SNPs rs622342, rs3846662, rs7294, rs5215 located in SLC22A1, HMGCR, VKORC1 and KCNJ11 genes respectively, are reported to be associated with ethnic variability in drug responses. In conclusion, correlating the frequencies of genotype risk variants with their associated ADRs would enhance drug outcomes and the implementation of personalized medicine in the studied populations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The technological advances of sequencing methods during the past 20 years have fuelled the generation of large amounts of sequencing data that comprise common variations, as well as millions of rare and personal variants that would not be identified by conventional genotyping. While comprehensive sequencing is technically feasible, its clinical utility for guiding personalized treatment decisions remains controversial. AREAS COVERED We discuss the opportunities and challenges of comprehensive sequencing compared to targeted genotyping for pharmacogenomic applications. Current pharmacogenomic sequencing panels are heterogeneous and clinical actionability of the included genes is not a major focus. We provide a current overview and critical discussion of how current studies utilize sequencing data either retrospectively from biobanks, databases or repurposed diagnostic sequencing, or prospectively using pharmacogenomic sequencing. EXPERT OPINION While sequencing-based pharmacogenomics has provided important insights into genetic variations underlying the safety and efficacy of a multitude pharmacological treatments, important hurdles for the clinical implementation of pharmacogenomic sequencing remain. We identify gaps in the interpretation of pharmacogenetic variants, technical challenges pertaining to complex loci and variant phasing, as well as unclear cost-effectiveness and incomplete reimbursement. It is critical to address these challenges in order to realize the promising prospects of pharmacogenomic sequencing.

Abstract
The association of an individual's genetic makeup with their response to drugs is referred to as pharmacogenomics. By understanding the relationship between genetic variants and drug efficacy or toxicity, we are able to optimize pharmacological therapy according to an individual's genotype. Pharmacogenomics research has historically suffered from bias and underrepresentation of people from certain ancestry groups and of the female sex. These biases can arise from factors such as drugs and indications studied, selection of study participants, and methods used to collect and analyze data. To examine the representation of biogeographical populations in pharmacogenomic data sets, we describe individuals involved in gene-drug response studies from PharmGKB, a leading repository of drug-gene annotations, and showcaseCYP2D6, a gene that metabolizes approximately 25% of all prescribed drugs. We also show how the historical underrepresentation of females in clinical trials has led to significantly more adverse drug reactions in females than in males.

Abstract
Interindividual variability in genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes, transporters, receptors, and human leukocyte antigens has a major impact on a patient's response to drugs with regard to efficacy and safety. Enabled by both technological and conceptual advances, the field of pharmacogenomics is developing rapidly. Major progress in omics profiling methods has enabled novel genotypic and phenotypic characterization of patients and biobanks. These developments are paralleled by advances in machine learning, which have allowed us to parse the immense wealth of data and establish novel genetic markers and polygenic models for drug selection and dosing. Pharmacogenomics has recently become more widespread in clinical practice to personalize treatment and to develop new drugs tailored to specific patient populations. In this review, we provide an overview of the latest developments in the field and discuss the way forward, including how to address the missing heritability, develop novel polygenic models, and further improve the clinical implementation of pharmacogenomics.

Abstract
Genetic variants in drug targets and genes encoding factors involved in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) can have pronounced impacts on drug pharmacokinetics, response, and toxicity. While the landscape of genetic variability at the level of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) has been extensively studied in these pharmacogenetic loci, their structural variation is only poorly understood. Thus, we systematically analyzed the genetic structural variability across 908 pharmacogenes (344 ADME genes and 564 drug targets) based on publicly available whole genome sequencing data from 10,847 unrelated individuals. Overall, we extracted 14,984 distinct structural variants (SVs) ranging in size from 50 bp to 106 Mb. Each individual harbored on average 10.3 and 1.5 SVs with putative functional effects that affected the coding regions of ADME genes and drug targets, respectively. In addition, by cross-referencing pharmacogenomic SVs with experimentally determined binding data of 224 transcription factors across 130 cell types, we identified 1276 non-coding SVs that overlapped with gene regulatory elements. Based on these data, we estimate that non-coding structural variants account for 22% of the genetically encoded pharmacogenomic variability. Combined, these analyses provide the first comprehensive map of structural variability across pharmacogenes, derive estimates for the functional impact of non-coding SVs and incentivize the incorporation of structural genomic data into personalized drug response predictions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genetic variability in the cytochrome P450 CYP2C9 constitutes an important predictor for efficacy and safety of various commonly prescribed drugs, including coumarin anticoagulants, phenytoin and multiple non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). A global map of CYP2C9 variability and its inferred functional consequences has been lacking. RESULTS Frequencies of eight functionally relevant CYP2C9 alleles (*2, *3, *5, *6, *8, *11, *13 and *14) were analyzed. In total, 108 original articles were identified that included genotype data from a total of 81,662 unrelated individuals across 70 countries and 40 unique ethnic groups. The results revealed that CYP2C9*2 was most abundant in Europe and the Middle East, whereas CYP2C9*3 was the main reason for reduced CYP2C9 activity across South Asia. Our data show extensive variation within superpopulations with up to tenfold differences between geographically adjacent populations in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. Translation of genetic CYP2C9 variability into functional consequences indicates that up to 40% of patients in Southern Europe and the Middle East might benefit from warfarin and phenytoin dose reductions, while 3% of patients in Southern Europe and Israel are recommended to reduce starting doses of NSAIDs. CONCLUSIONS This study provides a comprehensive map of the genetic and functional variability of CYP2C9 with high ethnogeographic resolution. The presented data can serve as a useful resource for CYP2C9 allele and phenotype frequencies and might guide the optimization of genotyping strategies, particularly for indigenous and founder populations with distinct genetic profiles.

In routine clinical care, their use is already implemented in oncology to profile the mutational landscape of a tumor, as well as in rare disease diagnostics. However, its utilization in pharmacogenomics is largely lacking behind. Recent population-scale genome data has revealed that human pharmacogenes carry a plethora of rare genetic variations that are not interrogated by conventional array-based profiling methods and it is estimated that these variants could explain around 30% of the genetically encoded functional pharmacogenetic variability.To interpret the impact of such variants on drug response a multitude of computational tools have been developed, but, while there have been major advancements, it remains to be shown whether their accuracy is sufficient to improve personalized pharmacogenetic recommendations in robust trials. In addition, conventional short-read sequencing methods face difficulties in the interrogation of complex pharmacogenes and high NGS test costs require stringent evaluations of cost-effectiveness to decide about reimbursement by national healthcare programs. Here, we illustrate current challenges and discuss future directions toward the clinical implementation of NGS to inform genotype-guided decision-making.

Abstract
Genetic factors can, to a certain extent, successfully predict the therapeutic effects, metabolism, and adverse reactions of drugs. This research field, pharmacogenomics, is well developed in oncology and is currently expanding in psychiatry. Here, we summarize the latest development in pharmacogenomic psychiatry, where results of several recent large studies indicate a true benefit and cost-effectiveness of pre-emptive genotyping for more successful psychotherapy. However, it is apparent that we still lack knowledge of many additional heritable genetic factors of importance for explanation of the interindividual differences in response to psychiatric drugs. Thus, more effort to further develop pharmacogenomic psychiatry should be invested to achieve a broader clinical implementation.

Abstract
Genes encoding cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) are extremely polymorphic and multiple CYP variants constitute clinically relevant biomarkers for the guidance of drug selection and dosing. We previously reported the distribution of the most relevant CYP alleles using population-scale sequencing data. Here, we update these findings by making use of the increasing wealth of data, incorporating whole exome and whole genome sequencing data from 141,614 unrelated individuals across 12 human populations. We furthermore extend our previous studies by systematically considering also uncharacterized rare alleles and reveal that they contribute between 1.5% and 17.5% to the overall genetically encoded functional variability. By using established guidelines, we aggregate and translate the available sequencing data into population-specific patterns of metabolizer phenotypes. Combined, the presented data refine the worldwide landscape of ethnogeographic variability in CYP genes and aspire to provide a relevant resource for the optimization of population-specific genotyping strategies and precision public health.

Abstract
Recent advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have resulted in the identification of tens of thousands of rare pharmacogenetic variations with unknown functional effects. However, although such pharmacogenetic variations have been estimated to account for a considerable amount of the heritable variability in drug response and toxicity, accurate interpretation at the level of the individual patient remains challenging. We discuss emerging strategies and concepts to close this translational gap. We illustrate how massively parallel experimental assays, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning can synergize with population-scale biobank projects to facilitate the interpretation of NGS data to individualize clinical decision-making and personalized medicine.

Abstract
The cytochromes P450s can be divided in two groups, those of high importance for endogenous functions being evolutionary quite stable and those participating in detoxification of drugs and other xenobiotics having less important endogenous functions. In the latter group extensive genetic diversity has been allowed and in addition this is of high importance for survival in different environments. The genetic polymorphisms in these genes have evolved to some extent based on dietary restrictions and environmental factors and have not been subject of conservation due to less importance for survival. In cases of high dietary selection events, gene multiplication and amplification events have been seen. The different variants in genes encoding drug metabolizing enzymes can be used as genetic biomarkers (pharmacogenomic labels) for adjustment of drug treatment leading to less adverse drug reactions and better response. Indeed, this has improved the use of personalized medicine, although the missing heredity seen based on twin studies indicates that there are indeed many more genetic variants to be discovered before one can achieve a satisfactory relationship between genotype and phenotype with respect to drug metabolism and toxicity.

Abstract
Exome sequencing is utilized in routine clinical genetic diagnosis. The technical robustness of repurposing large-scale next-generation sequencing data for pharmacogenetics has been demonstrated, supporting the implementation of preemptive pharmacogenetic strategies based on adding clinical pharmacogenetic interpretation to exomes. However, a comprehensive study analyzing all actionable pharmacogenetic alleles contained in international guidelines and applied to diagnostic exome data has not been performed. Here, we carried out a systematic analysis based on 5001 Spanish or Latin American individuals with diagnostic exome data, either Whole Exome Sequencing (80%), or the so-called Clinical Exome Sequencing (20%) (60 Mb and 17 Mb, respectively), to provide with global and gene-specific clinical pharmacogenetic utility data. 788 pharmacogenetic alleles, distributed through 19 genes included in Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium guidelines were analyzed. We established that Whole Exome and Clinical Exome Sequencing performed similarly, and 280 alleles in 11 genes (CACNA1S, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP4F2, DPYD, G6PD, NUDT15, RYR1, SLCO1B1, TPMT, and UGT1A1) could be used to inform of pharmacogenetic phenotypes that change drug prescription. Each individual carried in average 2.2 alleles and overall 95% (n = 4646) of the cohort could be informed of at least one actionable pharmacogenetic phenotype. Differences in variant allele frequency were observed among the populations studied and the corresponding gnomAD population for 7.9% of the variants. In addition, in the 11 selected genes we uncovered 197 novel variants, among which 27 were loss-of-function. In conclusion, we provide with the landscape of actionable pharmacogenetic information contained in diagnostic exomes, that can be used preemptively in the clinics.

Abstract
CYP2D6 is a key drug-metabolizing enzyme implicated in the biotransformation of approximately 25% of currently prescribed drugs. Interindividual and interethnic differences in CYP2D6 enzymatic activity, and hence variability in substrate drug efficacy and safety, are attributed to a highly polymorphic corresponding gene. This study aims at reviewing the frequencies of the most clinically relevant CYP2D6 alleles in the Arabs countries. Articles published before May 2021 that reported CYP2D6 genotype and allelic frequencies in the Arab populations of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region were retrieved from PubMed and Google Scholar databases. This review included 15 original articles encompassing 2737 individuals from 11 countries of the 22 members of the League of Arab States. Active CYP2D6 gene duplications reached the highest frequencies of 28.3% and 10.4% in Algeria and Saudi Arabia, respectively, and lowest in Egypt (2.41%) and Palestine (4.9%). Frequencies of the loss-of-function allele CYP2D6*4 ranged from 3.5% in Saudi Arabia to 18.8% in Egypt. The disparity in frequencies of the reduced-function CYP2D6*10 allele was perceptible, with the highest frequency reported in Jordan (14.8%) and the lowest in neighboring Palestine (2%), and in Algeria (0%). The reduced-function allele CYP2D6*41 was more prevalent in the Arabian Peninsula countries; Saudi Arabia (18.4%) and the United Arab Emirates (15.2%), in comparison with the Northern Arab-Levantine Syria (9.7%) and Algeria (8.3%). Our study demonstrates heterogeneity of CYP2D6 alleles among Arab populations. The incongruities of the frequencies of alleles in neighboring countries with similar demographic composition emphasize the necessity for harmonizing criteria of genotype assignment and conducting comprehensive studies on larger MENA Arab populations to determine their CYP2D6 allelic makeup and improve therapeutic outcomes of CYP2D6- metabolized drugs.

Abstract
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been increasingly popular in genomics studies over the last decade, as new sequencing technology has been created and improved. Recently, NGS started to be used in clinical oncology to improve cancer therapy through diverse modalities ranging from finding novel and rare cancer mutations, discovering cancer mutation carriers to reaching specific therapeutic approaches known as personalized medicine (PM). PM has the potential to minimize medical expenses by shifting the current traditional medical approach of treating cancer and other diseases to an individualized preventive and predictive approach. Currently, NGS can speed up in the early diagnosis of diseases and discover pharmacogenetic markers that help in personalizing therapies. Despite the tremendous growth in our understanding of genetics, NGS holds the added advantage of providing more comprehensive picture of cancer landscape and uncovering cancer development pathways. In this review, we provided a complete overview of potential NGS applications in scientific and clinical oncology, with a particular emphasis on pharmacogenomics in the direction of precision medicine treatment options.

Abstract
The use of pharmacogenomics in clinical practice is becoming standard of care. However, due to the complex genetic makeup of pharmacogenes, not all genetic variation is currently accounted for. Here, we show the utility of long-read sequencing to resolve complex pharmacogenes by analyzing a well-characterised sample. This data consists of long reads that were processed to resolve phased haploblocks. 73% of pharmacogenes were fully covered in one phased haploblock, including 9/15 genes that are 100% complex. Variant calling accuracy in the pharmacogenes was high, with 99.8% recall and 100% precision for SNVs and 98.7% precision and 98.0% recall for Indels. For the majority of gene-drug interactions in the DPWG and CPIC guidelines, the associated genes could be fully resolved (62% and 63% respectively). Together, these findings suggest that long-read sequencing data offers promising opportunities in elucidating complex pharmacogenes and haplotype phasing while maintaining accurate variant calling.

Abstract
Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) rank as one of the top 10 leading causes of death and illness in developed countries. ADRs show differential features depending upon genotype, age, sex, race, pathology, drug category, route of administration, and drug–drug interactions. Pharmacogenomics (PGx) provides the physician effective clues for optimizing drug efficacy and safety in major problems of health such as cardiovascular disease and associated disorders, cancer and brain disorders. Important aspects to be considered are also the impact of immunopharmacogenomics in cutaneous ADRs as well as the influence of genomic factors associated with COVID-19 and vaccination strategies. Major limitations for the routine use of PGx procedures for ADRs prevention are the lack of education and training in physicians and pharmacists, poor characterization of drug-related PGx, unspecific biomarkers of drug efficacy and toxicity, cost-effectiveness, administrative problems in health organizations, and insufficient regulation for the generalized use of PGx in the clinical setting. The implementation of PGx requires: (i) education of physicians and all other parties involved in the use and benefits of PGx; (ii) prospective studies to demonstrate the benefits of PGx genotyping; (iii) standardization of PGx procedures and development of clinical guidelines; (iv) NGS and microarrays to cover genes with high PGx potential; and (v) new regulations for PGx-related drug development and PGx drug labelling.

Abstract
Abstrakt
Mikrobiota jelitowa stanowi nieodłączny element organizmu umożliwiający jego prawidłowe funkcjonowanie. Dzięki mikroorganizmom jelitowym możliwa jest stymulacja układu odpornościowego, synteza witamin czy poprawa wchłaniania składników odżywczych. Jednak jej aktywność może również niekorzystnie działać na organizm, m.in. z powodu przetwarzania treści jelitowej. Opisywana w artykule interakcja mikrobiota–lek uwzględnia pozytywny i negatywny wpływ mikroorganizmów jelitowych na farmakoterapię poprzez bezpośrednie i pośrednie oddziaływanie na lek w organizmie. Ze względu na to, że mikrobiom stanowi nieodłączny element organizmu, ingerencja nawet w jego niewielką część może doprowadzić do wystąpienia daleko idących, czasami niespodziewanych skutków. Stąd w celu poprawy skuteczności i bezpieczeństwa farmakoterapii konieczne jest wyjaśnienie mechanizmów oddziaływania mikrobioty na lek w organizmie.
W artykule podsumowano obecną wiedzę na temat biologicznej aktywności mikrobioty jelitowej, a zwłaszcza oddziaływań mikrobiota–leki determinujących skuteczność i bezpieczeństwo farmakoterapii. Wyszukiwanie przeprowadzono we wrześniu 2020 r. w bazach danych PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library i powszechnie dostępnej literaturze z użyciem terminów: „mikrobiota jelitowa”, „mikrobiom”, „metabolizm leku”, „interakcje mikrobiota–lek”. W artykule omówiono interakcje między mikrobiotą a lekami m.in. z grupy antybiotyków, inhibitorów pompy protonowej, sulfonamidów, pochodnych kwasu 5-aminosalicylowego, niesteroidowych leków przeciwzapalnych, przeciwnowotworowych, statyn czy metforminą.

Abstract
Psychiatric genomics is providing insights into the nature of psychiatric conditions that in time should identify new drug targets and improve patient care. Less attention has been paid to psychiatric pharmacogenomics research, despite its potential to deliver more rapid change in clinical practice and patient outcomes. The pharmacogenomics of treatment response encapsulates both pharmacokinetic ("what the body does to a drug") and pharmacodynamic ("what the drug does to the body") effects. Despite early optimism and substantial research in both these areas, they have to date made little impact on clinical management in psychiatry. A number of bottlenecks have hampered progress, including a lack of large-scale replication studies, inconsistencies in defining valid treatment outcomes across experiments, a failure to routinely incorporate adverse drug reactions and serum metabolite monitoring in study designs, and inadequate investment in the longitudinal data collections required to demonstrate clinical utility. Nonetheless, advances in genomics and health informatics present distinct opportunities for psychiatric pharmacogenomics to enter a new and productive phase of research discovery and translation.

Abstract
Background Valproic acid (VPA) is recommended as a first-line treatment for children with epilepsy. GABRG2 polymorphism is found to be associated with epilepsy susceptibility and therapeutic response of anti-seizure medications (ASM); however, the role of GABRG2 in VPA treatment still remains unknown. Objective The purpose of this study was to explore the association of GABRG2 gene polymorphism with the drug response and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) related to VPA. Methods A retrospective study including 96 Chinese children with epilepsy treated by VPA was carried out. The ADRs were collected during VPA therapy and GABRG2 rs211037 in enrolled patients was genotyped using Sequenom MassArray system. A network pharmacological analysis involved protein–protein interaction and enrichment analysis was constructed to investigate the potential targets and pathways of GABRG2 on VPA-related ADRs. Results Among 96 patients, 41 individuals were defined as seizure together with 49 patients with seizure-free and 6 patients unclassified. Carriers of homozygote GABRG2 rs211037 CC genotype exhibited seizure-free to VPA (P = 0.042), whereas those with CT genotype showed seizure. Furthermore, CC genotype had predisposition to digestive ADRs (P = 0.037) but was a protective factor for VPA-associated weight gain (P = 0.013). Ten key genes related to digestive ADRs and weight gain induced by VPA were identified by network pharmacological analysis and mainly involved in “GABAergic synaptic signaling”, “GABA receptor signaling”, and “taste transduction” pathways/processes through enrichment analysis. Conclusion This study revealed that GABRG2 variation exerted a predictable role in the efficacy and safety of VPA treatment for Chinese children with epilepsy.

Abstract
Interindividual differences in drug response are a common concern in both drug development and across layers of care. While genetics clearly influences drug response and toxicity of many drugs, a substantial fraction of the heritable pharmacological and toxicological variability remains unexplained by known genetic polymorphisms. In recent years, population-scale sequencing projects have unveiled tens of thousands of coding and noncoding pharmacogenetic variants with unclear functional effects that might explain at least part of this missing heritability. However, translating these personalized variant signatures into drug response predictions and actionable advice remains challenging and constitutes one of the most important frontiers of contemporary pharmacogenomics. Conventional prediction methods are primarily based on evolutionary conservation, which drastically reduces their predictive accuracy when applied to poorly conserved pharmacogenes. Here, we review the current state-of-the-art of computational variant effect predictors across variant classes and critically discuss their utility for pharmacogenomics. Besides missense variants, we discuss recent progress in the evaluation of synonymous, splice, and noncoding variations. Furthermore, we discuss emerging possibilities to assess haplotypes and structural variations. We advocate for the development of algorithms trained on pharmacogenomic instead of pathogenic data sets to improve the predictive accuracy in order to facilitate the utilization of next-generation sequencing data for personalized clinical decision support and precision pharmacogenomics.

Abstract
Pharmacogenetic research has resulted in the identification of a multitude of genetic variants that impact drug response or toxicity. These polymorphisms are mostly common and have been included as actionable information in the labels of numerous drugs. In addition to common variants, recent advances in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies have resulted in the identification of a plethora of rare and population-specific pharmacogenetic variations with unclear functional consequences that are not accessible by conventional forward genetics strategies. In this review, we discuss how comprehensive sequencing information can be translated into personalized pharmacogenomic advice in the age of NGS. Specifically, we provide an update of the functional impacts of rare pharmacogenetic variability and how this information can be leveraged to improve pharmacogenetic guidance. Furthermore, we critically discuss the current status of implementation of pharmacogenetic testing across drug development and layers of care. We identify major gaps and provide perspectives on how these can be minimized to optimize the utilization of NGS data for personalized clinical decision-support.

Abstract
Background Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are frequent occurring events that can essentially be defined as harmful or unpleasant symptoms secondary to the use of a medicinal product. ADRs involve a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from minor itching and rash to life-threatening reactions. Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are rare ADRs. SJS-TEN may be considered a polygenic pathology due to additive/epistatic effects caused by sequence variants in numerous genes. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) represents a potentially interesting exploration tool in such scenario as it facilitates the simultaneous analysis of large genomic regions and genes at affordable cost. Methods The present study has involved using whole-exome sequencing (WES) for the first time on SJS-TEN patients. It involved robust and innovative multistep bioinformatics analysis focusing on 313 candidate genes potentially participating in the disease’s aetiology, specific drugs’ metabolism and gene regulation. Results We identified combinations of frequently occurring and rare variants that may contribute to the disease’s pathogenesis. Depending on the specific drug being taken, different variants (and alleles) in NAT2, CYP2D8, CYP2B6, ABCC2, UGT2B7 and TCF3 were identified as coherent candidates representing potential future markers for SJS-TEN. Conclusion The present study proposed and has described (for the first time) a large-scale genomic analysis of patients affected by SJS-TEN. The genes and variants identified represent relevant candidates potentially participating in the disease’s pathogenesis. Corroborating that proposed by others, we found that complex combinations of frequently occurring and rare variants participating in particular drug metabolism molecular cascades could be associated with the phenotype. TCF3 TF may be considered a coherent candidate for SJS-TEN that should be analysed in new cohorts of patients having ADRs.

Abstract
The magnitude of all therapeutic responses is significantly determined by genome structure, variation, and functional interactions. This determination occurs at many levels which are discussed in the current review. Well-established examples of structural variation between individuals are known to dictate an individual's response to numerous drugs, as clearly illustrated by warfarin. The exponential rate of genomic-based interrogation is coupled with an expanding repertoire of genomic technologies and applications. This is leading to an ever more sophisticated appreciation of how structural variation, regulation of transcription and genomic structure, both individually and collectively, define cell therapeutic responses.

Abstract
We have previously reported successful isolation and cryopreservation of human intestinal mucosa (CHIM) with retention of viability and drug metabolizing enzyme activities. Here we report the results of the quantification of drug metabolizing enzyme activities in CHIM from different regions of the small intestines from 14 individual donors. CHIM were isolated from the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum of 10 individuals, and from 10 consecutive 12-inch segments starting from the pyloric sphincter of human small intestines from four additional individuals. P450 and non-P450 drug metabolizing enzyme activities (CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, CYP3A, UGT, SULT, FMO, MAO, AO, NAT1, and NAT2) were quantified via incubation with pathway-selective substrates. Quantifiable activities were observed for all pathways except for CYP2A6. Comparison of the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum in 10 donors shows jejunum had higher activities for CYP2C9, CYP3A, UGT, SULT, MAO, and NAT1. Further definition of regional variations with CHIM from ten 12-inch segments of the proximal small intestine shows that the segments immediately after the first 12-inch segment (duodenum) had the highest activity for most of the drug metabolizing enzymes but with substantial differences among the four donors. Our overall results demonstrate that there are substantial individual differences in drug metabolizing enzymes and that jejunum, especially the regions immediately after the duodenum, had the highest drug metabolizing enzyme activities.

Abstract
Using pharmacogenetics in guiding drug therapy experiences a steady increase in uptake, although still leads to discussions as to its clinical use. Psychiatry constitutes a field where pharmacogenomic testing might help in guiding drug therapy. To address current challenges, this minireview provides an update regarding genotyping (SNP analysis/arrays/NGS), structural variant detection (star-alleles/CNVs/hybrid alleles), genotype-to-phenotype translations, cost-effectiveness, and actionability of results (FDA/CPIC/PharmGKB) regarding clinical importance of pre-emptive pharmacogenomic testing for prescription of antidepressants and antipsychotics.

Abstract
In silico toxicology is an emerging field. It gains increasing importance as research is aiming to decrease the use of animal experiments as suggested in the 3R principles by Russell and Burch. In silico toxicology is a means to identify hazards of compounds before synthesis, and thus in very early stages of drug development. For chemical industries, as well as regulatory agencies it can aid in gap‐filling and guide risk minimization strategies. Techniques such as structural alerts, read‐across, quantitative structure–activity relationship, machine learning, and deep learning allow to use in silico toxicology in many cases, some even when data is scarce. Especially the concept of adverse outcome pathways puts all techniques into a broader context and can elucidate predictions by mechanistic insights.

Abstract
In recent decades, very few new psychiatric drugs have entered the market. Thus, improvement in the use of antidepressant and antipsychotic therapy has to focus mainly on enhanced and more personalized treatment with the currently available drugs. One important aspect of such individualization is emphasizing interindividual differences in genes relevant to treatment, an area that can be termed neuropsychopharmacogenomics. Here, we review previous efforts to identify such critical genetic variants and summarize the results obtained to date. We conclude that most clinically relevant genetic variation is connected to phase I drug metabolism, in particular to genetic polymorphism of CYP2C19 and CYP2D6. To further improve individualized pharmacotherapy, there is a need to take both common and rare relevant mutations into consideration; we discuss the present and future possibilities of using whole genome sequencing to identify patient-specific genetic variation relevant to treatment in psychiatry. Translation of pharmacogenomic knowledge into clinical practice can be considered for specific drugs, but this requires education of clinicians, instructive guidelines, as well as full attention to polypharmacy and other clinically relevant factors. Recent large patient studies (n > 1,000) have replicated previous findings and produced robust evidence warranting the clinical utility of relevant genetic biomarkers. To further judge the clinical and financial benefits of preemptive genotyping in psychiatry, large prospective randomized trials are needed to quantify the value of genetic-based patient stratification in neuropsychopharmacotherapy and to demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of such interventions.

Abstract
In recent decades the identification of pharmacogenomic gene-drug associations has evolved tremendously. Despite this progress, a major fraction of the heritable inter-individual variability remains elusive. Higher-dimensional phenomena, such as gene-gene-drug interactions, in which variability in multiple genes synergizes to precipitate an observable phenotype have been suggested to account at least for part of this missing heritability. However, the identification of such intricate relationships remains difficult partly because of analytical challenges associated with the complexity explosion of the problem. To facilitate the identification of such combinatorial pharmacogenetic associations, we here propose a network analysis strategy. Specifically, we analyzed the landscape of drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters for 100 top selling drugs as well as all compounds with pharmacogenetic germline labels or dosing guidelines. Based on this data, we calculated the posterior probabilities that gene i is involved in metabolism, transport or toxicity of a given drug under the condition that another gene j is involved for all pharmacogene pairs (i, j). Interestingly, these analyses revealed significant patterns between individual genes and across pharmacogene families that provide insights into metabolic interactions. To visualize the gene-drug interaction landscape, we use multidimensional scaling to collapse this similarity matrix into a two-dimensional network. We suggest that Euclidian distance between nodes can inform about the likelihood of epistatic interactions and thus might provide a useful tool to reduce the search space and facilitate the identification of combinatorial pharmacogenomic associations.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury is an important adverse drug reaction. Due to the lack of specificity in clinical symptoms and pathological features, there are still no reliable diagnostic biomarkers, so drug-induced liver injury is a diagnosis of exclusion. The article reviews the relevant advances in the association between novel human leukocyte antigen gene polymorphisms and drug-induced liver injury in order to identify potential biomarkers and provide a new method for the prediction and diagnosis of drug-induced liver injury. Henceforth, while studying the association between them, it will also need that the large sample and prospective studies to gain supporting evidence to implement translational application, so as to improve the safety and effectiveness of medication and achieve individualized treatment.

Abstract
Structural variants including copy number variations (CNV) have gained widespread attention, especially in pharmacogenomics but for several genes functional relevance and clinical evidence are still lacking. Detection of CNVs in next-generation sequencing data is challenging but offers widespread applications. We developed a cohort-based CNV detection workflow to extract CNVs from read counts of targeted NGS of 340 genes involved in absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) of drugs. We applied our method to 150 human liver tissue samples and correlated identified CNVs to mRNA expression levels. In total, we identified 445 deletions (73%) and 167 duplications (27%) in 36 pharmacogenes including all well-known CNVs of CYPs, GSTs, SULTs, UGTs, numerous described rare CNVs of CYP2E1, SLC16A3 or UGT2B15 as well as novel observations, e.g., for SLC22A12, SLC22A17 and GPS2 (G Protein Pathway Suppressor 2). We were able to fine-map complex CNVs of CYP2A6 and CYP2D6 with exon resolution. Correlation analysis confirmed known expression patterns for common CNVs and suggested an influence on expression variability for some rare CNVs. Our straightforward CNV detection workflow can be easily applied to any NGS coverage data and helped to analyze CNVs in an ADME-NGS panel of 340 pharmacogenes to improve genotype-phenotype correlations.

Abstract
The cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) gene locus is challenging to accurately genotype due to numerous single nucleotide variants and complex structural variation. Our goal was to determine whether the CYP2D6 genotype‐phenotype correlation is improved when diplotype assignments incorporate structural variation, identified by the bioinformatics tool Stargazer, with next‐generation sequencing data. Using CYP2D6 activity measured with substrates dextromethorphan and metoprolol, activity score explained 40% and 34% of variability in metabolite formation rates, respectively, when diplotype calls incorporated structural variation, increasing from 36% and 31%, respectively, when diplotypes did not incorporate structural variation. We also investigated whether the revised Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) recommendations for translating genotype to phenotype improve CYP2D6 activity predictions over the current system. Although the revised recommendations do not improve the correlation between activity score and CYP2D6 activity, perhaps because of low frequency of the CYP2D6*10 allele, the correlation with metabolizer phenotype group was significantly improved for both substrates. We also measured the function of seven rare coding variants: one (A449D) exhibited decreased (44%) and another (R474Q) increased (127%) activity compared with reference CYP2D6.1 protein. Allele‐specific analysis found that A449D is part of a novel CYP2D6*4 suballele, CYP2D6*4.028. The novel haplotype containing R474Q was designated CYP2D6*138 by PharmVar; another novel haplotype containing R365H was designated CYP2D6*139. Accuracy of CYP2D6 phenotype prediction is improved when the CYP2D6 gene locus is interrogated using next‐generation sequencing coupled with structural variation analysis. Additionally, revised CPIC genotype to phenotype translation recommendations provides an improvement in assigning CYP2D6 activity.

Abstract
The genetic variation of our species reflects human demographic history and adaptation to diverse local environments. Part of this genetic variation affects individual responses to exogenous substances, such as food, pollutants and drugs, and plays an important role in drug efficacy and safety. This review provides a synthesis of the evolution of loci implicated in human pharmacological response and metabolism, interpreted within the theoretical framework of population genetics and molecular evolution. In particular, I review and discuss key evolutionary aspects of different pharmacogenes in humans and other species, such as the relationship between the type of substrates and rate of evolution; the selective pressure exerted by landscape variables or dietary habits; expected and observed patterns of rare genetic variation. Finally, I discuss how this knowledge can be translated directly or after the implementation of specific studies, into practical guidelines.

Petrović J, Pešić V, Lauschke VM. Frequencies of clinically important CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 alleles are graded across Europe. Eur J Hum Genet 2019; 28:88-94. [PMID: 31358955 PMCID: PMC6906321 DOI: 10.1038/s41431-019-0480-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 59] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2019] [Revised: 07/03/2019] [Accepted: 07/17/2019] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 are important drug-metabolizing enzymes that are involved in the metabolism of around 30% of all medications. Importantly, the corresponding genes are highly polymorphic and these genetic differences contribute to interindividual and interethnic differences in drug pharmacokinetics, response, and toxicity. In this study we systematically analyzed the frequency distribution of clinically relevant CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 alleles across Europe based on data from 82,791 healthy individuals extracted from 79 original publications and, for the first time, provide allele confidence intervals for the general population. We found that frequencies of CYP2D6 gene duplications showed a clear South-East to North-West gradient ranging from <1% in Sweden and Denmark to 6% in Greece and Turkey. In contrast, an inverse distribution was observed for the loss-of-function alleles CYP2D6*4 and CYP2D6*5. Similarly, frequencies of the inactive CYP2C19*2 allele were graded from North-West to South-East Europe. In important contrast to previous work we found that the increased activity allele CYP2C19*17 was most prevalent in Central Europe (25–33%) with lower prevalence in Mediterranean-South Europeans (11–24%). In summary, we provide a detailed European map of common CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 variants and find that frequencies of the most clinically relevant alleles are geographically graded reflective of Europe’s migratory history. These findings emphasize the importance of generating pharmacogenomic data sets with high spatial resolution to improve precision public health across Europe.

Copy number variation profiling in pharmacogenetics CYP-450 and GST genes in Colombian population. BMC Med Genomics 2019; 12:110. [PMID: 31324178 PMCID: PMC6642477 DOI: 10.1186/s12920-019-0556-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2019] [Accepted: 07/05/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Copy Number variation (CNVs) in genes related to drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) are relevant in the interindividual variability of drug response. Studies of the CNVs in ADME genes in Latin America population are lacking. The objective of the study was to identify the genetic variability of CNVs in CYP-450 and GST genes in a subgroup of individuals of Colombian origin. METHODS Genomic DNA was isolated from 123 healthy individuals from a Colombian population. Multiplex Ligation-Dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA) was performed for the identification of CNVs in 40 genomic regions of 11 CYP-450 and 3 GST genes. The genetic variability, allelic and genotypic frequencies were analyzed. RESULTS We found that 13 out of 14 genes had CNVs: 5 (35.7%) exhibited deletions and duplications, while 8 (57.1%) presented either deletions or duplications.. 33.3% of individuals carried deletions and duplications while 49.6% had a unique type of CNV (deletion or duplication). The allelic frequencies of the CYP and GST genes were 0 to 47.6% (allele null), 0 to 17.5% (duplicated alleles) and 37 to 100% (normal alleles). CONCLUSIONS Our results describe, for the first time, the genomic profile of CNVs in a subgroup of Colombian population in GST and CYP-450 genes. GST genes indicated greater genetic variability than CYP-450 genes. The data obtained contributes to the knowledge of genetic profiles in Latin American subgroups. Although the clinical relevance of CNVs has not been fully established, it is a valuable source of pharmacogenetic variability data with potential involvement in the response to medications.
