Abstract
AIM
To determine whether the known single nucleotide polymorphisms in adrenoreceptor associated genes affect the hemodynamic response to dobutamine in critically ill neonates.
METHODS
Alleles in the known genetic single nucleotide polymorphisms in β1 and β2 adrenoceptor (AR) genes and Gs protein α-subunit gene (GNAS) possibly affecting inotropic effect were identified in patients of neonatal dobutamine pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic study. Linear mixed-effect models were used to describe the effect of genetic polymorphisms to heart rate (HR), left ventricular output (LVO) and right ventricular output (RVO) during dobutamine treatment.
RESULTS
26 neonates (5 term, 21 preterm) were studied. Dobutamine plasma concentration and exposure time respective HR (adjusted to gestational age) is dependent on β1-AR Arg389Gly polymorphism so that in G/G (Gly) homozygotes and G/C heterozygotes dobutamine increases HR more than in C/C (Arg) homozygotes, with parameter estimate (95% CI) of 38.3 (15.8 - 60.7) bpm per AUC of 100 μg L-1 h, p=0.0008. LVO (adjusted to antenatal glucocorticoid administration and illness severity) and RVO (adjusted to gestational age and illness severity) is dependent on GNAS c.393C>T polymorphism so that in T/T homozygotes and C/T heterozygotes but not in C/C homozygotes LVO and RVO increase with dobutamine treatment, 24.5 (6.2 - 42.9) mL kg-1 min-1 per AUC of 100 μg L-1 h, p=0.0095 and 33.2 (12.1 - 54.3) mL kg-1 min-1 per AUC of 100 μg L-1 h, p=0.0025, respectively.
CONCLUSION
In critically ill neonates, β1-AR Arg389Gly and GNAS c.393C>T polymorphisms may play a role in the haemodynamic response to dobutamine during the first hours and days of life.
