Abstract
Recent breakthroughs in human genetics and in information technologies have markedly expanded our understanding at the molecular level of the response to drugs, i.e., pharmacogenetics (PGx), across therapy areas. This review is restricted to PGx for cardiovascular (CV) drugs. First, we examined the PGx information in the labels approved by regulatory agencies in Europe, Japan, and North America and related recommendations from expert panels. Out of 221 marketed CV drugs, 36 had PGx information in their labels approved by one or more agencies. The level of annotations and recommendations varied markedly between agencies and expert panels. Clopidogrel is the only CV drug with consistent PGx recommendation (i.e., "actionable"). This situation prompted us to dissect the steps from discovery of a PGx association to clinical translation. We found 101 genome-wide association studies that investigated the response to CV drugs or drug classes. These studies reported significant associations for 48 PGx traits mapping to 306 genes. Six of these 306 genes are mentioned in the corresponding PGx labels or recommendations for CV drugs. Genomic analyses also highlighted the wide between-population differences in risk allele frequencies and the individual load of actionable PGx variants. Given the high attrition rate and the long road to clinical translation, additional work is warranted to identify and validate PGx variants for more CV drugs across diverse populations and to demonstrate the utility of PGx testing. To that end, pre-emptive PGx combining genomic profiling with electronic medical records opens unprecedented opportunities to improve healthcare, for CV diseases and beyond. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Despite spectacular breakthroughs in human molecular genetics and information technologies, consistent evidence supporting PGx testing in the cardiovascular area is limited to a few drugs. Additional work is warranted to discover and validate new PGx markers and demonstrate their utility. Pre-emptive PGx combining genomic profiling with electronic medical records opens unprecedented opportunities to improve healthcare, for CV diseases and beyond.

Abstract
In recent years, with advancements in medicine, the survival period of patients with tumours has significantly increased. The adverse effects of tumour treatment on patients, especially cardiac toxicity, have become increasingly prominent. In elderly patients with breast cancer, treatment-related cardiovascular toxicity has surpassed cancer itself as the leading cause of death. Moreover, in recent years, an increasing number of novel antitumour drugs, such as multitargeted agents, antibody‒drug conjugates (ADCs), and immunotherapies, have been applied in clinical practice. The cardiotoxicity induced by these drugs has become more pronounced, leading to a complex and diverse mechanism of cardiac damage. The risks of unintended cardiovascular toxicity are increased by high-dose anthracyclines, immunotherapies, and concurrent radiation, in addition to traditional cardiovascular risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, and obesity. However, these factors do not fully explain why only a subset of individuals experience treatment-related cardiac toxicity, whereas others with similar clinical features do not. Recent studies indicate that genetics play a significant role in susceptibility to the development of cardiovascular toxicity from cancer therapies. These genes are involved in drug metabolism, oxidative damage, cardiac dysfunction, and other processes. Moreover, emerging evidence suggests that epigenetics also plays a role in drug-induced cardiovascular toxicity. We conducted a review focusing on breast cancer as an example to help oncologists and cardiologists better understand the mechanisms and effects of genetic factors on cardiac toxicity. In this review, we specifically address the relationship between genetic alterations and cardiac toxicity, including chemotherapy-related genetic changes, targeted therapy-related genetic changes, and immune therapy-related genetic changes. We also discuss the role of epigenetic factors in cardiac toxicity. We hope that this review will improve the risk stratification of patients and enable therapeutic interventions that mitigate these unintended adverse consequences of life-saving cancer treatments.

Risk of anthracycline-induced cardiac dysfunction in adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors: role of genetic susceptibility loci. THE PHARMACOGENOMICS JOURNAL 2024; 24:21. [PMID: 38951505 DOI: 10.1038/s41397-024-00343-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024]
Abstract
There is a known genetic susceptibility to anthracycline-induced cardiac dysfunction in childhood cancer survivors, but this has not been adequately shown in adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients. Our aim was to determine if the previously identified variants associated with cardiac dysfunction in childhood cancer patients affect AYA cancer patients similarly. Forty-five variants were selected for analysis in 253 AYAs previously treated with anthracyclines. We identified four variants that were associated with cardiac dysfunction: SLC10A2:rs7319981 (p = 0.017), SLC22A17:rs4982753 (p = 0.019), HAS3:rs2232228 (p = 0.023), and RARG:rs2229774 (p = 0.050). HAS3:rs2232228 and SLC10A2:rs7319981 displayed significant effects in our AYA cancer survivor population that were in the opposite direction than that reported in childhood cancer survivors. Genetic variants in the host genes were further analyzed for additional associations with cardiotoxicity in AYA cancer survivors. The host genes were then evaluated in a panel of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes to assess changes in levels of expression when treated with doxorubicin. Significant upregulation of HAS3 and SLC22A17 expression was observed (p < 0.05), with non-significant anthracycline-responsivity observed for RARG. Our study demonstrates that there is a genetic influence on cardiac dysfunction in AYA cancer patients, but there may be a difference in the role of genetics between childhood and AYA cancer survivors.

Improved Cardiomyopathy Risk Prediction Using Global Longitudinal Strain and N-Terminal-Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide in Survivors of Childhood Cancer Exposed to Cardiotoxic Therapy. J Clin Oncol 2024; 42:1265-1277. [PMID: 38207238 PMCID: PMC11095874 DOI: 10.1200/jco.23.01796] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To leverage baseline global longitudinal strain (GLS) and N-terminal-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) to identify childhood cancer survivors with a normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at highest risk of future treatment-related cardiomyopathy. METHODS St Jude Lifetime Cohort participants ≥5 years from diagnosis, at increased risk for cardiomyopathy per the International Guideline Harmonization Group (IGHG), with an LVEF ≥50% on baseline echocardiography (n = 1,483) underwent measurement of GLS (n = 1,483) and NT-proBNP (n = 1,052; 71%). Multivariable Cox regression models estimated hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs for postbaseline cardiomyopathy (modified Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events ≥grade 2) incidence in association with echocardiogram-based GLS (≥-18) and/or NT-proBNP (>age-sex-specific 97.5th percentiles). Prediction performance was assessed using AUC in models with and without GLS and NT-proBNP and compared using DeLong's test for IGHG moderate- and high-risk individuals treated with anthracyclines. RESULTS Among survivors (median age, 37.6; range, 10.2-70.4 years), 162 (11.1%) developed ≥grade 2 cardiomyopathy 5.1 (0.7-10.0) years from baseline assessment. The 5-year cumulative incidence of cardiomyopathy for survivors with and without abnormal GLS was, respectively, 7.3% (95% CI, 4.7 to 9.9) versus 4.4% (95% CI, 3.0 to 5.7) and abnormal NT-proBNP was 9.9% (95% CI, 5.8 to 14.1) versus 4.7% (95% CI, 3.2 to 6.2). Among survivors with a normal LVEF, abnormal baseline GLS and NT-proBNP identified anthracycline-exposed, IGHG-defined moderate-/high-risk survivors at a four-fold increased hazard of postbaseline cardiomyopathy (HR, 4.39 [95% CI, 2.46 to 7.83]; P < .001), increasing to a HR of 14.16 (95% CI, 6.45 to 31.08; P < .001) among survivors who received ≥250 mg/m2 of anthracyclines. Six years after baseline, AUCs for individual risk prediction were 0.70 for models with and 0.63 for models without GLS and NT-proBNP (P = .022). CONCLUSION GLS and NT-proBNP should be considered for improved identification of survivors at high risk for future cardiomyopathy.

Functional Validation of Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity-Related Genes. JACC CardioOncol 2024; 6:38-50.

Abstract
Background Genome-wide association studies and candidate gene association studies have identified more than 180 genetic variants statistically associated with anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC). However, the lack of functional validation has hindered the clinical translation of these findings. Objectives The aim of this study was to functionally validate all genes associated with AIC using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs). Methods Through a systemic literature search, 80 genes containing variants significantly associated with AIC were identified. Additionally, 3 more genes with potential roles in AIC (GSTM1, CBR1, and ERBB2) were included. Of these, 38 genes exhibited expression in human fetal heart, adult heart, and hiPSC-CMs. Using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/Cas9-based genome editing, each of these 38 genes was systematically knocked out in control hiPSC-CMs, and the resulting doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) phenotype was assessed using hiPSC-CMs. Subsequently, functional assays were conducted for each gene knockout on the basis of hypothesized mechanistic implications in DIC. Results Knockout of 26 genes increased the susceptibility of hiPSC-CMs to DIC. Notable genes included efflux transporters (ABCC10, ABCC2, ABCB4, ABCC5, and ABCC9), well-established DIC-associated genes (CBR1, CBR3, and RAC2), and genome-wide association study-discovered genes (RARG and CELF4). Conversely, knockout of ATP2B1, HNMT, POR, CYBA, WDR4, and COL1A2 had no significant effect on the in vitro DIC phenotype of hiPSC-CMs. Furthermore, knockout of the uptake transporters (SLC28A3, SLC22A17, and SLC28A1) demonstrated a protective effect against DIC. Conclusions The present findings establish a comprehensive platform for the functional validation of DIC-associated genes, providing insights for future studies in DIC variant associations and potential mechanistic targets for the development of cardioprotective drugs.

Abstract
Anthracyclines remain the cornerstone of numerous chemotherapeutic protocols, with beneficial effects against haematological malignancies and solid tumours. Unfortunately, the clinical usefulness of anthracyclines is compromised by the development of cardiotoxic side effects, leading to dose limitations or treatment discontinuation. There is no absolute linear correlation between the incidence of cardiotoxicity and the threshold dose, suggesting that genetic factors may modify the association between anthracyclines and cardiotoxicity risk. And the majority of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with anthracycline pharmacogenomics were identified in the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) and solute carrier (SLC) transporters, generating increasing interest in the pharmacogenetic implications of their genetic variations for anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC). This review focuses on the influence of SLC and ABC polymorphisms on AIC and highlights the prospects and clinical significance of pharmacogenetics for individualised preventive approaches.

Abstract
The contributions of cooperative groups to performing large-cohort clinical trials and long-term survivorship studies have facilitated advances in treatment, supportive care and, ultimately, survival for patients with paediatric cancers. As a result, the number of childhood cancer survivors in the USA alone is expected to reach almost 580,000 by 2040. Despite these substantial improvements, childhood cancer survivors continue to have an elevated burden of chronic disease and an excess risk of early death compared with the general population and therefore constitute a large, medically vulnerable population for which delivery of high-quality, personalized care is much needed. Data from large survivorship cohorts have enabled the identification of compelling associations between paediatric cancers, cancer therapy and long-term health conditions. Effectively translating these findings into clinical care that improves the quality and quantity of life for survivors remains an important focus of ongoing research. Continued development of well-designed clinical studies incorporating dissemination and implementation strategies with input from patient advocates and other key stakeholders is crucial to overcoming these gaps. This Review highlights the global progress made and future efforts that will be needed to further increase the quality and quantity of life-years gained for childhood cancer survivors.

Abstract
The human 25-kDa Lipocalin 2 (LCN2) was first identified and purified as a protein that in part is associated with gelatinase from neutrophils. This protein shows a high degree of sequence similarity with the deduced sequences of rat α2-microglobulin-related protein and the mouse protein 24p3. Based on its typical lipocalin fold, which consists of an eight-stranded, anti-parallel, symmetrical β-barrel fold structure it was initially thought that LCN2 is a circulating protein functioning as a transporter of small lipophilic molecules. However, studies in Lcn2 null mice have shown that LCN2 has bacteriostatic properties and plays a key role in innate immunity by sequestering bacterial iron siderophores. Numerous reports have further shown that LCN2 is involved in the control of cell differentiation, energy expenditure, cell death, chemotaxis, cell migration, and many other biological processes. In addition, important roles for LCN2 in health and disease have been identified in Lcn2 null mice and multiple molecular pathways required for regulation of Lcn2 expression have been identified. Nevertheless, although six putative receptors for LCN2 have been proposed, there is a fundamental lack in understanding of how these cell-surface receptors transmit and amplify LCN2 to the cell. In the present review we summarize the current knowledge on LCN2 receptors and discuss inconsistencies, misinterpretations and false assumptions in the understanding of these potential LCN2 receptors.

Abstract
Improvements in the treatment of childhood cancer have considerably enhanced survival rates over the last decades to over 80% as of today. However, this great achievement has been accompanied by the occurrence of several early and long-term treatment-related complications major of which is cardiotoxicity. This article reviews the contemporary definition of cardiotoxicity, older and newer chemotherapeutic agents that are mainly involved in cardiotoxicity, routine process diagnoses, and methods using omics technology for early and preventive diagnosis. Chemotherapeutic agents and radiation therapies have been implicated as a cause of cardiotoxicity. In response, the area of cardio-oncology has developed into a crucial element of oncologic patient care, committed to the early diagnosis and treatment of adverse cardiac events. However, routine diagnosis and the monitoring of cardiotoxicity rely on electrocardiography and echocardiography. For the early detection of cardiotoxicity, in recent years, major studies have been conducted using biomarkers such as troponin, N-terminal pro b-natriuretic peptide, etc. Despite the refinements in diagnostics, severe limitations still exist due to the increase in the above-mentioned biomarkers only after significant cardiac damage has occurred. Lately, the research has expanded by introducing new technologies and finding new markers using the omics approach. These new markers could be used not only for early detection but also for the early prevention of cardiotoxicity. Omics science, which includes genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, offers new opportunities for biomarker discovery in cardiotoxicity and may provide an understanding of the mechanisms of cardiotoxicity beyond traditional technologies.

Influence of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms on Clinical Outcomes of Capecitabine-Based Chemotherapy in Colorectal Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15061821. [PMID: 36980706 PMCID: PMC10046456 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15061821] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2023] [Revised: 03/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 03/19/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this systematic review was to provide a comprehensive overview of the literature published in the last decade on the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in genes involved in the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic pathways of capecitabine with treatment outcomes among colorectal cancer patients. A systematic search of the literature published in the last 10 years was carried out in two databases (Medline and Scopus) using keywords related to the objective. Quality assessment of the studies included was performed using an assessment tool derived from the Strengthening the Reporting of Genetic Association (STREGA) statement. Thirteen studies were included in this systematic review. Genes involved in bioactivation, metabolism, transport, mechanism of action of capecitabine, DNA repair, and folate cycle were associated with toxicity. Meanwhile, genes related to DNA repair were associated with therapy effectiveness. This systematic review reveals that several SNPs other than the four DPYD variants that are screened in clinical practice could have an impact on treatment outcomes. These findings suggest the identification of future predictive biomarkers of effectiveness and toxicity in colorectal cancer patients treated with capecitabine. However, the evidence is sparse and requires further validation.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cancer patients are at risk for treatment-related myocardial dysfunction and heart failure during or after treatment. Risk prediction models have the potential to play an important role in identifying patients at high or low risk in order to take appropriate measures. Here, we review their current role. RECENT FINDINGS More and more risk prediction models are currently being developed. Unfortunately, they vary widely in their ability to identify patients and survivors at risk for myocardial dysfunction or heart failure, from very poor to strong. Part of this variation might be explained by methodological limitations of the models, but due to a lack of reporting it is not possible to completely assess this. There lies great potential in the improvement of the quality and the use of risk prediction models to inform patients and clinicians on the absolute risk of cardiac events in order to guide care.

Abstract
As the activity of certain drug metabolizing enzymes or transporter proteins can vary with age, the effect of ontogenetic and genetic variation on the activity of these enzymes is critical for the accurate prediction of treatment outcomes and toxicity in children. This makes pharmacogenetic research in pediatrics particularly important and urgently needed, but also challenging. This review summarizes pharmacogenetic studies on the effects of genetic polymorphisms on pharmacokinetic parameters and clinical outcomes in pediatric populations for certain drugs, which are commonly prescribed by clinicians across multiple therapeutic areas in a general hospital, organized from those with the most to the least pediatric evidence among each drug category. We also further discuss the research status of the gene-guided dosing regimens and clinical implementation of pediatric pharmacogenetics. More and more drug-gene interactions are demonstrated to have clinical validity for children, and pharmacogenomics in pediatrics have shown evidence-based benefits to enhance the efficacy and precision of existing drug dosing regimens in several therapeutic areas. However, the most important limitation to the implementation is the lack of high-quality, rigorous pediatric prospective clinical studies, so adequately powered interventional clinical trials that support incorporation of pharmacogenetics into the care of children are still needed.

[PMID: 36536332 PMCID: PMC9761983 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-022-10434-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2021] [Accepted: 12/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma is the most common bone tumor in children and adolescents. Despite multiagent chemotherapy, only 71% of patients survives and these survivors often experience long-term toxicities. The main objective of this systematic review is to provide an overview of the discovery of novel associations of germline polymorphisms with treatment response and/or chemotherapy-induced toxicities in osteosarcoma. METHODS: MEDLINE and Embase were systematically searched (2010-July 2022). Genetic association studies were included if they assessed > 10 germline genetic variants in > 5 genes in relevant drug pathways or if they used a genotyping array or other large-scale genetic analysis. Quality was assessed using adjusted STrengthening the REporting of Genetic Association studies (STREGA)-guidelines. To find additional evidence for the identified associations, literature was searched to identify replication studies. RESULTS After screening 1999 articles, twenty articles met our inclusion criteria. These range from studies focusing on genes in relevant pharmacokinetic pathways to whole genome sequencing. Eleven articles reported on doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy. For seven genetic variants in CELF4, GPR35, HAS3, RARG, SLC22A17, SLC22A7 and SLC28A3, replication studies were performed, however without consistent results. Ototoxicity was investigated in one study. Five small studies reported on mucosistis or bone marrow, nephro- and/or hepatotoxicity. Six studies included analysis for treatment efficacy. Genetic variants in ABCC3, ABCC5, FasL, GLDC, GSTP1 were replicated in studies using heterogeneous efficacy outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Despite that results are promising, the majority of associations were poorly reproducible due to small patient cohorts. For the future, hypothesis-generating studies in large patient cohorts will be necessary, especially for cisplatin-induced ototoxicity as these are largely lacking. In order to form large patient cohorts, national and international collaboration will be essential.

Pharmacogenetics of Drug Metabolism: The Role of Gene Polymorphism in the Regulation of Doxorubicin Safety and Efficacy. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14215436. [PMID: 36358854 PMCID: PMC9659104 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14215436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2022] [Revised: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 11/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary The effectiveness and safety of the anti-cancer agent doxorubicin (anthracycline group medicine) depend on the metabolism and retention of the drug in the human organism. Polymorphism of cytochrome p450 (CYP)-encoding genes and detoxifying enzymes such as CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 were found responsible for variations in the doxorubicin metabolism. Transmembrane transporters such as p-glycoproteins were reported to be involved in cancer tissue retention of doxorubicin. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family members, including ABCB1 transporters (also known as Multi-Drug Resistance 1 (MDR1)) proteins, were determined to pump out doxorubicin from breast cancer cells, therefore reducing the drug effectiveness. This study critically discusses the latest data about the role of CYP3A4, CYP2D6, and ABCB1 gene polymorphism in the regulation of doxorubicin’s effects in breast cancer patients. The assessment of genetic differences in the expression of doxorubicin metabolizing and transporting enzymes should be explored for the development of personalized medical treatment of breast cancer patients. Abstract Breast cancer (BC) is the prevailing malignancy and major cause of cancer-related death in females. Doxorubicin is a part of BC neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy regimens. The administration of anthracycline derivates, such as doxorubicin, may cause several side effects, including hematological disfunction, gastrointestinal toxicity, hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and cardiotoxicity. Cardiotoxicity is a major adverse reaction to anthracyclines, and it may vary depending on individual differences in doxorubicin pharmacokinetics. Determination of specific polymorphisms of genes that can alter doxorubicin metabolism was shown to reduce the risk of adverse reactions and improve the safety and efficacy of doxorubicin. Genes which encode cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP3A4 and CYP2D6), p-glycoproteins (ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family members such as Multi-Drug Resistance 1 (MDR1) protein), and other detoxifying enzymes were shown to control the metabolism and pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin. The effectiveness of doxorubicin is defined by the polymorphism of cytochrome p450 and p-glycoprotein-encoding genes. This study critically discusses the latest data about the role of gene polymorphisms in the regulation of doxorubicin’s anti-BC effects. The correlation of genetic differences with the efficacy and safety of doxorubicin may provide insights for the development of personalized medical treatment for BC patients.

Abstract
Polygenic models have emerged as promising prediction tools for the prediction of complex traits. Currently, the majority of polygenic models are developed in the context of predicting disease risk, but polygenic models may also prove useful in predicting drug outcomes. This study sought to understand how polygenic models incorporating pharmacogenetic variants are being used in the prediction of drug outcomes. A systematic review was conducted with the aim of gaining insights into the methods used to construct polygenic models, as well as their performance in drug outcome prediction. The search uncovered 89 papers that incorporated pharmacogenetic variants in the development of polygenic models. It was found that the most common polygenic models were constructed for drug dosing predictions in anticoagulant therapies (n = 27). While nearly all studies found a significant association with their polygenic model and the investigated drug outcome (93.3%), less than half (47.2%) compared the performance of the polygenic model against clinical predictors, and even fewer (40.4%) sought to validate model predictions in an independent cohort. Additionally, the heterogeneity of reported performance measures makes the comparison of models across studies challenging. These findings highlight key considerations for future work in developing polygenic models in pharmacogenomic research.

Genetic Susceptibility and Mechanisms Underlying the Pathogenesis of Anthracycline-Associated Cardiotoxicity. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:5818612.

Abstract
Anthracyclines are chemotherapeutic agents widely used to treat a variety of cancers, and these drugs have revolutionized our management of cancer patients. The dose-dependent cardiotoxicity of anthracyclines, however, remains one of the leading causes of chemotherapy treatment-associated mortality in cancer survivors. Patient threshold doses leading to anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC) are highly variable among affected patients. This variability is largely ascribed to genetic variants in individuals' genomes. Here, we briefly discuss the prevailing mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of AIC, and then, we review the genetic variants, mostly identified through human genetic approaches and identified in cancer survivors. The identification of all genetic susceptibilities and elucidation of underlying mechanisms of AIC can help improve upfront risk prediction assessment for potentially severe cardiotoxicity disease and provide valuable insights into the understanding of AIC pathophysiology, which can be further leveraged to develop targeted pharmacogenetic therapies for those at high risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adult survivors of childhood cancer are at increased risk of cardiac late effects. METHODS Using whole-genome sequencing data from 1,870 survivors of European ancestry in the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort (SJLIFE) study, genetic variants were examined for association with ejection fraction (EF) and clinically assessed cancer therapy-induced cardiac dysfunction (CCD). Significant findings were validated in 301 SJLIFE survivors of African ancestry and 4,020 survivors of European ancestry from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS). All statistical tests were 2-sided. RESULTS A variant near KCNK17 showed genome-wide significant association with EF (rs2815063-A: EF reduction = 1.6%; P = 2.1 × 10-8) in SJLIFE survivors of European ancestry, which replicated in SJLIFE survivors of African ancestry (EF reduction: 1.5%; P = .004). The rs2815063-A also showed a 1.80-fold (P = .008) risk of severe/disabling or life-threatening CCD and replicated in 4,020 CCSS survivors of European ancestry (OR = 1.40; P = .039). Notably, rs2815063-A was specifically associated among survivors exposed to doxorubicin only, with a stronger effect on EF (3.3% EF reduction) and CCD (2.97-fold). Whole blood DNA methylation data in 1,651 SJLIFE survivors of European ancestry showed significant correlation of rs2815063-A with dysregulation of KCNK17 enhancers (false discovery rate <5%), which replicated in 263 survivors of African ancestry. Consistently, the rs2815063-A was associated with KCNK17 downregulation based on RNA-sequencing of 75 survivors. CONCLUSIONS Leveraging the two largest cohorts of childhood cancer survivors in North America and survivor-specific polygenomic functional data, we identified a novel risk locus for CCD which showed specificity with doxorubicin-induced cardiac dysfunction and highlighted dysregulation of KCNK17 as the likely molecular mechanism underlying this genetic association.

Abstract
Anthracyclines are a major component of chemotherapies used in many pediatric and adult malignancies. Anthracycline-associated cardiotoxicity (ACT) is a dose-dependent adverse effect that has substantial impact on morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the identification of genetic variants associated with increased risk of ACT has the potential for significant clinical impact to improve patient care. The goal of this review is to summarize the current evidence supporting genetic variants associated with ACT, identify gaps and limitations in current knowledge, and propose future directions for incorporating genetics into clinical practice for patients treated with anthracyclines. We will discuss mechanisms of ACT that could be illuminated by genetics and discuss clinical applications for the cardiologist/cardio-oncologist.

Abstract
Chemotherapy and targeted therapies have significantly improved the prognosis of oncology patients. However, these antineoplastic treatments may also induce adverse cardiovascular effects, which may lead to acute or delayed onset of cardiac dysfunction. These common cardiovascular complications, commonly referred to as cardiotoxicity, not only may require the modification, suspension, or withdrawal of life-saving antineoplastic therapies, with the risk of reducing their efficacy, but can also strongly impact the quality of life and overall survival, regardless of the oncological prognosis. The onset of cardiotoxicity may depend on the class, dose, route, and duration of administration of anticancer drugs, as well as on individual risk factors. Importantly, the cardiotoxic side effects may be reversible, if cardiac function is restored upon discontinuation of the therapy, or irreversible, characterized by injury and loss of cardiac muscle cells. Subclinical myocardial dysfunction induced by anticancer therapies may also subsequently evolve in symptomatic congestive heart failure. Hence, there is an urgent need for cardioprotective therapies to reduce the clinical and subclinical cardiotoxicity onset and progression and to limit the acute or chronic manifestation of cardiac damages. In this review, we summarize the knowledge regarding the cellular and molecular mechanisms contributing to the onset of cardiotoxicity associated with common classes of chemotherapy and targeted therapy drugs. Furthermore, we describe and discuss current and potential strategies to cope with the cardiotoxic side effects as well as cardioprotective preventive approaches that may be useful to flank anticancer therapies.

Abstract
Historically genetics has not been considered when prescribing drugs for children. However, it is clear that genetics are not only an important determinant of disease in children but also of drug response for many important drugs that are core agents used in the therapy of common problems in children. Advances in therapy and in the ethical construct of children's research have made pharmacogenomic assessment for children much easier to pursue. It is likely that pharmacogenomics will become part of the therapeutic decision-making process for children, notably in areas such as childhood cancer where weighing benefits and risks of therapy is crucial.

Abstract
The human Solute Carrier 22 family (SLC22), also termed the organic ion transporter family, consists of 28 distinct multi-membrane spanning proteins, which phylogenetically cluster together according to their charge specificity for organic cations (OCTs), organic anions (OATs) and organic zwitterion/cations (OCTNs). Some SLC22 family members are well characterized in terms of their substrates, transport mechanisms and expression patterns, as well as their roles in human physiology and pharmacology, whereas others remain orphans with no known ligands. Pharmacologically, SLC22 family members play major roles as determinants of the absorption and disposition of many prescription drugs, and several including the renal transporters, OCT2, OAT1 and OAT3 are targets for many clinically important drug-drug interactions. In addition, mutations in some of these transporters (SLC22A5 (OCTN2) and SLC22A12 (URAT1) lead to rare monogenic disorders. Genetic polymorphisms in SLC22 transporters have been associated with common human disease, drug response and various phenotypic traits. Three members in this family were deorphaned in very recently: SLC22A14, SLC22A15 and SLC22A24, and found to transport specific compounds such as riboflavin (SLC22A14), anti-oxidant zwitterions (SLC22A15) and steroid conjugates (SLC22A24). Their physiologic and pharmacological roles need further investigation. This review aims to summarize the substrates, expression patterns and transporter mechanisms of individual SLC22 family members and their roles in human disease and drug disposition and response. Gaps in our understanding of SLC22 family members are described. Significance Statement In recent years, three members of the SLC22 family of transporters have been deorphaned and found to play important roles in the transport of diverse solutes. New research has furthered our understanding of the mechanisms, pharmacological roles, and clinical impact of SLC22 transporters. This minireview provides overview of SLC22 family members of their physiologic and pharmacologic roles, the impact of genetic variants in the SLC22 family on disease and drug response, and summary of recent studies deorphaning SLC22 family members.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Pharmacogenomic insights provide an opportunity to optimize medication dosing regimens and patient outcomes. However, the potential for interindividual genomic variability to guide medication dosing and toxicity monitoring is not yet standard of care. In this review, we present advances for the thiopurines, anthracyclines and vincristine and provide perspectives on the actionability of pharmacogenomic guidance in the future. RECENT FINDINGS The current guideline on thiopurines recommends that those with normal predicted thiopurine methyltransferase and NUDT15 expression receive standard-of-care dosing, while 'poor metabolizer' haplotypes receive a decreased 6-mercaptopurine starting dose to avoid bone marrow toxicity. Emerging evidence established significant polygenic contributions that predispose to anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity and suggest this knowledge be used to identify those at higher risk of complications. In the case of vincristine, children who express CYP3A5 have a significantly reduced risk of peripheral neuropathy compared with those expressing an inactive form or the CYP3A4 isoform. SUMMARY The need for adequately powered pediatric clinical trials, coupled with the study of epigenetic mechanisms and their influence on phenotypic variation and the integration of precision survivorship into precision approaches are featured as important areas for focused investments in the future.

Abstract
The purpose of this review was to systematize data on molecular genetic markers of increased risk of cardiotoxic effects, as well as to search for risk and protective variants of candidate genes. Today, the therapy of malignant neoplasms is based on the use of anthracyclines – drugs of the cytostatic mechanism of action. Along with their effectiveness, these drugs can have a cardiotoxic effect on cardiomyocytes by increasing the amount of reactive oxygen species and disrupting mitochondrial biogenesis. Pathological disorders lead to an increased risk of myocardial dysfunction and a number of other cardiovascular pathologies in patients receiving chemotherapy using anthracyclines. The cardiotoxic effect of anthracyclines leads to cardiomyopathy, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and thrombosis. Early detection of cardiotoxic damage leads to reducing the negative effects of these drugs due to changes in chemotherapy tactics. It is known that the risk of cardiotoxic myocardial damage is genetically determined and controlled by more than 80 genes. In this review, the description of basic molecules such as ATP-binding cassette transporters and solute carrier family (SLC transporters), carbonyl reductase, molecules of antioxidant defense, xenobiotic and iron metabolism was performed. In addition, a special attention is paid to the study of epigenetic and post-translational regulation. The available data are characterized by some inconsistency that may be explained by the ethnic differences of the studied populations. Thus, a more detailed research of various ethnic groups, gene-gene interactions between potential candidate genes and epigenetic regulation is necessary. Thus, understanding the contribution of genetic polymorphism to the development of cardiotoxicity will help to assess the individual risks of cardiovascular pathology in patients with various types of cancer, as well as reduce the risk of myocardial damage by developing individual preventive measures and correcting chemotherapy.

Molecules 2021; 26:5629.

Abstract
Over the years, my colleagues and I have come to realise that the likelihood of pharmaceutical drugs being able to diffuse through whatever unhindered phospholipid bilayer may exist in intact biological membranes in vivo is vanishingly low. This is because (i) most real biomembranes are mostly protein, not lipid, (ii) unlike purely lipid bilayers that can form transient aqueous channels, the high concentrations of proteins serve to stop such activity, (iii) natural evolution long ago selected against transport methods that just let any undesirable products enter a cell, (iv) transporters have now been identified for all kinds of molecules (even water) that were once thought not to require them, (v) many experiments show a massive variation in the uptake of drugs between different cells, tissues, and organisms, that cannot be explained if lipid bilayer transport is significant or if efflux were the only differentiator, and (vi) many experiments that manipulate the expression level of individual transporters as an independent variable demonstrate their role in drug and nutrient uptake (including in cytotoxicity or adverse drug reactions). This makes such transporters valuable both as a means of targeting drugs (not least anti-infectives) to selected cells or tissues and also as drug targets. The same considerations apply to the exploitation of substrate uptake and product efflux transporters in biotechnology. We are also beginning to recognise that transporters are more promiscuous, and antiporter activity is much more widespread, than had been realised, and that such processes are adaptive (i.e., were selected by natural evolution). The purpose of the present review is to summarise the above, and to rehearse and update readers on recent developments. These developments lead us to retain and indeed to strengthen our contention that for transmembrane pharmaceutical drug transport "phospholipid bilayer transport is negligible".

Abstract
Aim: Cardiovascular disease represents one of the main causes of secondary morbidity and mortality in patients with childhood cancer. Patients & methods: To further address this issue, we analyzed cardiovascular complications in relation to common and rare genetic variants derived through whole-exome sequencing from childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia survivors (PETALE cohort). Results: Significant associations were detected among common variants in the TTN gene, left ventricular ejection fraction (p ≤ 0.0005), and fractional shortening (p ≤ 0.001). Rare variants enrichment in the NOS1, ABCG2 and NOD2 was observed in relation to left ventricular ejection fraction, and in NOD2 and ZNF267 genes in relation to fractional shortening. Following stratification according to risk groups, the modulatory effect of rare variants was additionally found in the CBR1, ABCC5 and AKR1C3 genes. None of the associations was replicated in St-Jude Lifetime Cohort Study. Conclusion: Further studies are needed to confirm whether the described genetic markers may be useful in identifying patients at increased risk of these complications.

Abstract
Anthracyclines, chemotherapeutic agents that have contributed to significant improvements in cancer survival, also carry risk of both acute and chronic cardiotoxicity. This has led to significantly elevated risks of cardiac morbidity and mortality among cancer survivors treated with these agents. Certain treatment related, demographic, and medical factors increase an individual's risk of anthracycline induced cardiotoxicity; however, significant variability among those affected suggests that there is an underlying genetic predisposition to anthracycline induced cardiotoxicity. The current narrative review seeks to summarize the literature to date that has identified genetic variants associated with anthracycline induced cardiotoxicity. These include variants found in genes that encode proteins associated with anthracycline transportation and metabolism, those that encode proteins associated with the generation of reactive oxygen species, and those known to be associated with cardiac disease. While there is strong evidence that susceptibility to anthracycline induced cardiotoxicity has genetic underpinnings, the majority of work to date has been candidate gene analyses. Future work should focus on genome-wide analyses including genome-wide association and sequencing-based studies to confirm and expand these findings.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is widely used in the treatment of cancer patients, but the cardiotoxicity induced by chemotherapy is still a major concern to most clinicians. Currently, genetic methods have been used to detect patients with high risk of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity (CIC), and our study evaluated the correlation between genomic variants and CIC. The systematic literature search was performed in the PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), China Biology Medicine disc (CBMdisc), the Embase database, China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI) and Wanfang database from inception until June 2020. Forty-one studies were identified that examined the relationship between genetic variations and CIC. And these studies examined 88 different genes and 154 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Our study indicated 6 variants obviously associated with the increased risk for CIC, including CYBA rs4673 (pooled odds ratio, 1.93; 95% CI, 1.13–3.30), RAC2 rs13058338 (2.05; 1.11–3.78), CYP3A5 rs776746 (2.15; 1.00–4.62) ABCC1 rs45511401 (1.46; 1.05–2.01), ABCC2 rs8187710 (2.19; 1.38–3.48), and HER2-Ile655Val rs1136201 (2.48; 1.53–4.02). Although further studies are required to validate the diagnostic and prognostic roles of these 6 variants in predicting CIC, our study emphasizes the promising benefits of pharmacogenomic screening before chemotherapy to minimize the CIC.

Abstract
Anthracyclines are effective chemotherapeutic agents, commonly used in the treatment of a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. However, their use is associated with a significant risk of cardiovascular toxicities and may result in cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Cardiomyocyte toxicity occurs via multiple molecular mechanisms, including topoisomerase II-mediated DNA double-strand breaks and reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation via effects on the mitochondrial electron transport chain, NADPH oxidases (NOXs), and nitric oxide synthases (NOSs). Excess ROS may cause mitochondrial dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum stress, calcium release, and DNA damage, which may result in cardiomyocyte dysfunction or cell death. These pathophysiologic mechanisms cause tissue-level manifestations, including characteristic histopathologic changes (myocyte vacuolization, myofibrillar loss, and cell death), atrophy and fibrosis, and organ-level manifestations including cardiac contractile dysfunction and vascular dysfunction. In addition, these mechanisms are relevant to current and emerging strategies to diagnose, prevent, and treat anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy. This review details the established and emerging data regarding the molecular mechanisms of anthracycline-induced cardiovascular toxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The CBR3 V244M single nucleotide polymorphism has been linked to the risk of anthracycline-related cardiomyopathy in survivors of childhood cancer. There have been limited prospective studies examining the impact of CBR3 V244M on the risk for anthracycline-related cardiotoxicity in adult cohorts. OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the presence of associations between CBR3 V244M genotype status and changes in echocardiographic parameters in breast cancer patients undergoing doxorubicin treatment. METHODS We recruited 155 patients with breast cancer receiving treatment with doxorubicin (DOX) at Roswell Park Comprehensive Care Center (Buffalo, NY) to a prospective single arm observational pharmacogenetic study. Patients were genotyped for the CBR3 V244M variant. 92 patients received an echocardiogram at baseline (t0 month) and at 6 months (t6 months) of follow up after DOX treatment. Apical two-chamber and four-chamber echocardiographic images were used to calculate volumes and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) using Simpson's biplane rule by investigators blinded to all patient data. Volumetric indices were evaluated by normalizing the cardiac volumes to the body surface area (BSA). RESULTS Breast cancer patients with CBR3 GG and AG genotypes both experienced a statistically significant reduction in LVEF at 6 months following initiation of DOX treatment for breast cancer compared with their pre-DOX baseline study. Patients homozygous for the CBR3 V244M G allele (CBR3 V244) exhibited a further statistically significant decrease in LVEF at 6 months following DOX therapy in comparison with patients with heterozygous AG genotype. We found no differences in age, pre-existing cardiac diseases associated with myocardial injury, cumulative DOX dose, or concurrent use of cardioprotective medication between CBR3 genotype groups. CONCLUSIONS CBR3 V244M genotype status is associated with changes in echocardiographic parameters suggestive of early anthracycline-related cardiomyopathy in subjects undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer.

Abstract
Using the chemical doxorubicin (DOX), the objective of the present study was to evaluate the impact of dose metrics selection in the new approach method of integrating physiologically-based kinetic (PBK) modelling and relevant human cell-based assays to inform a priori the point of departure for human health risk. We reviewed the literature on the clinical consequences of DOX treatment to identify dosing scenarios with no or mild cardiotoxicity observed. Key concentrations of DOX that induced cardiomyocyte toxicity in vitro were derived from studies of our own and others. A human population-based PBK model of DOX was developed and verified against pharmacokinetic data. The model was then used to predict plasma and extracellular and intracellular heart concentrations of DOX under selected clinical settings and compared with in vitro outcomes, based on several dose metrics: Cmax (maximum concentration) or AUC (area under concentration-time curve) in free or total form of DOX. We found when using in vitro assays to predict cardiotoxicity for DOX, AUC is a better indicator. Our study illustrates that when appropriate dose metrics are used, it is possible to combine PBK modelling with in vitro-derived toxicity information to define margins of safety and predict low-risk human exposure levels.

Abstract
Despite the known risk of cardiotoxicity, anthracyclines are widely prescribed chemotherapeutic agents. They are broadly characterized as being a robust effector of cellular apoptosis in rapidly proliferating cells through its actions in the nucleus and formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). And, despite the early use of dexrazoxane, no effective treatment strategy has emerged to prevent the development of cardiomyopathy, despite decades of study, suggesting that much more insight into the underlying mechanism of the development of cardiomyopathy is needed. In this review, we detail the specific intracellular activities of anthracyclines, from the cell membrane to the sarcoplasmic reticulum, and highlight potential therapeutic windows that represent the forefront of research into the underlying causes of anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Advances in pediatric cancer therapies have dramatically improved the likelihood of survival. As survivors are aging, however, we are now understanding that treatment carries a significant risk of cardiovascular toxicity, which can develop immediately, or even many years after completing therapy. Anthracycline derivates are some of the most commonly used agents in pediatric oncology treatment protocols, which have a dose-dependent correlation with the development of cardiac toxicity. As we learn more about the mechanisms of toxicity, we are developing prevention strategies, including improvements in surveillance, to improve early diagnosis of heart disease. Current survivorship surveillance protocols often include screening echocardiograms to evaluate systolic function by measuring the ejection fraction or fractional shortening. However, these measurements alone are not enough to capture early myocardial changes. The use of additional imaging biomarkers, serum biomarkers, electrocardiograms, as well as cholesterol and blood pressure screening, are key to the early detection of cardiomyopathy and cardiovascular disease. Medical treatment strategies are the same as those used for heart failure from other causes, but earlier recognition and implementation can lead to improved long term outcomes.

Abstract
Advances in cancer treatment have significantly improved the survival of patients with cancer, but, unfortunately, many of these treatments also have long-term complications. Cancer treatment-related cardiotoxicities are becoming a significant clinical problem that a new discipline, Cardio-Oncology, was established to advance the cardiovascular care of patients with growing cancer populations. Anthracyclines are a class of chemotherapeutic agents used to treat many cancers in adults and children. Their clinical use is limited by anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC), which can lead to heart failure. Early-onset cardiotoxicity appears within a year of treatment, whereas late-onset cardiotoxicity occurs > 1 year and even up to decades after treatment completion. The pathophysiology of AIC was hypothesized to be caused by generation of reactive oxygen species that lead to lipid peroxidation, defective mitochondrial biogenesis, and DNA damage of the cardiomyocytes. The accumulation of anthracycline metabolites was also proposed to cause mitochondrial damage and the induction of cardiac cell apoptosis, which induces arrhythmias, contractile dysfunction, and cardiomyocyte death. This paper will provide a general overview of cardiotoxicity focusing on the effect of anthracyclines and their epigenetic molecular mechanisms on cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Anthracyclines are an integral part of chemotherapy regimens used to treat a variety of childhood-onset and adult-onset cancers. However, the development of cardiac dysfunction and heart failure often compromises the clinical utility of anthracyclines. The risk of cardiac dysfunction increases with anthracycline dose. This anthracycline-cardiac dysfunction association is modified by several demographic and clinical factors, such as age at anthracycline exposure (<4 years and ≥65 years); female sex; chest radiation; presence of cardiovascular risk factors (diabetes, hypertension); and concurrent use of cyclophosphamide, paclitaxel, and trastuzumab. However, the clinical variables alone yield modest predictive power in detecting cardiac dysfunction. Recently, attention has focused on the molecular basis of anthracycline-related cardiac dysfunction, providing an initial understanding of the mechanism of anthracycline-related cardiomyopathy. This review describes the current state of knowledge with respect to the pathogenesis of anthracycline-related cardiomyopathy and identifies the critical next steps to mitigate this problem. Anthracycline chemotherapy results in an increased risk of cardiac dysfunction. Most recent studies have suggested that there is a genetic basis for anthracycline-related cardiac dysfunction. Integration of genetics with the clinical characteristics may be used to enhance the ability to predict the risk for anthracycline-related cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Childhood cancer survivors are at risk for developing cardiovascular disease and pulmonary disease related to cancer treatment. This might not become apparent until many years after treatment and varies from subclinical to life-threatening disease. Important causes are anthracyclines and radiotherapy involving heart, head, or neck for cardiovascular disease, and bleomycin, busulfan, nitrosoureas, radiation to the chest, and lung or chest surgery for pulmonary disease. Most effects are dose dependent, but genetic risk factors have been discovered. Treatment options are limited. Prevention and regular screening are crucial. Survivors should be encouraged to adopt a healthy lifestyle, and modifiable risk factors should be addressed.

Abstract
Elevated mitochondrial matrix superoxide and/or hydrogen peroxide concentrations drive a wide range of physiological responses and pathologies. Concentrations of superoxide and hydrogen peroxide in the mitochondrial matrix are set mainly by rates of production, the activities of superoxide dismutase-2 (SOD2) and peroxiredoxin-3 (PRDX3), and by diffusion of hydrogen peroxide to the cytosol. These considerations can be used to generate criteria for assessing whether changes in matrix superoxide or hydrogen peroxide are both necessary and sufficient to drive redox signaling and pathology: is a phenotype affected by suppressing superoxide and hydrogen peroxide production; by manipulating the levels of SOD2, PRDX3 or mitochondria-targeted catalase; and by adding mitochondria-targeted SOD/catalase mimetics or mitochondria-targeted antioxidants? Is the pathology associated with variants in SOD2 and PRDX3 genes? Filtering the large literature on mitochondrial redox signaling using these criteria highlights considerable evidence that mitochondrial superoxide and hydrogen peroxide drive physiological responses involved in cellular stress management, including apoptosis, autophagy, propagation of endoplasmic reticulum stress, cellular senescence, HIF1α signaling, and immune responses. They also affect cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, and the cell cycle. Filtering the huge literature on pathologies highlights strong experimental evidence that 30-40 pathologies may be driven by mitochondrial matrix superoxide or hydrogen peroxide. These can be grouped into overlapping and interacting categories: metabolic, cardiovascular, inflammatory, and neurological diseases; cancer; ischemia/reperfusion injury; aging and its diseases; external insults, and genetic diseases. Understanding the involvement of mitochondrial matrix superoxide and hydrogen peroxide concentrations in these diseases can facilitate the rational development of appropriate therapies.

Abstract
Pharmacogenomics (PGx) implementation in clinical practice is steadily increasing. PGx uses genetic information to personalize medication use, which increases medication efficacy and decreases side effects. The availability of clinical PGx guidelines is essential for its implementation in clinical settings. Currently, there are few organizations/associations responsible for releasing those guidelines, including the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium, Dutch Pharmacogenetics Working Group, the Canadian Pharmacogenomics Network for Drug Safety and the French National Network of Pharmacogenetics. According to the US FDA, oncology medications are highly correlated to PGx biomarkers. Therefore, summarizing the PGx guidelines for oncology drugs will positively impact the clinical decisions for cancer patients. This review aims to scrutinize side-by-side available clinical PGx guidelines in oncology.

Abstract
An individual's inherited genetic makeup and acquired genomic variants may account for a significant portion of observable variability in therapy efficacy and toxicity. Pharmacogenomics (PGx) is the concept that treatments can be modified to account for these differences to increase chances of therapeutic efficacy while minimizing risk of adverse effects. This is particularly applicable to oncology in which treatment may be multimodal. Each tumor type has a unique genomic signature that lends to inclusion of targeted therapy but may be associated with cumulative toxicity, such as cardiotoxicity, and can impact quality of life. A greater understanding of therapeutic agents impacted by PGx and subsequent implementation has the potential to improve outcomes and reduce risk of drug-induced adverse effects.

Abstract
Recent therapeutic advances have significantly improved the short- and long-term survival rates in patients with heart disease and cancer. Survival in cancer patients may, however, be accompanied by disadvantages, namely, increased rates of cardiovascular events. Chemotherapy-related cardiac dysfunction is an important side effect of anticancer therapy. While advances in cancer treatment have increased patient survival, treatments are associated with cardiovascular complications, including heart failure (HF), arrhythmias, cardiac ischemia, valve disease, pericarditis, and fibrosis of the pericardium and myocardium. The molecular mechanisms of cardiotoxicity caused by cancer treatment have not yet been elucidated, and they may be both varied and complex. By identifying the functional genetic variations responsible for this toxicity, we may be able to improve our understanding of the potential mechanisms and pathways of treatment, paving the way for the development of new therapies to target these toxicities. Data from studies on genetic defects and pharmacological interventions have suggested that many molecules, primarily those regulating oxidative stress, inflammation, autophagy, apoptosis, and metabolism, contribute to the pathogenesis of cardiotoxicity induced by cancer treatment. Here, we review the progress of genetic research in illuminating the molecular mechanisms of cancer treatment-mediated cardiotoxicity and provide insights for the research and development of new therapies to treat or even prevent cardiotoxicity in patients undergoing cancer treatment. The current evidence is not clear about the role of pharmacogenomic screening of susceptible genes. Further studies need to done in chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are a serious burden and can negatively impact patient quality of life. One of these ADRs, anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (ACT), occurs in up to 65% of treated patients and can lead to congestive heart failure. Pharmacogenetic studies have helped to reveal the mechanisms of ACT and, consequently, inform current strategies to prevent ACT in the clinic. RECENT FINDINGS Many pharmacogenetic studies have been conducted for ACT, but few have led to the development of clinical practice guidelines and clinical genetic testing for ACT. This is, in part, because of lack of replication in independent patient cohorts and/or validation of an affected biological pathway. Recent advances in pharmacogenetic studies have been made through the use of novel methods that directly implicate dysregulated genes and perturbed biological pathways in response to anthracycline treatment. SUMMARY Furthering the understanding of the genetics and altered biological pathways of ACT through these novel methods can inform clinical treatment strategies and enable refinement of current clinical practice guidelines. This can therefore lead to improvement in clinical pharmacogenetic testing for further reduction of the incidence of ACT in pediatric cancer patients taking anthracyclines.

Abstract
Cancer is the leading cause of death in American children older than 1 year of age. Major developments in drugs such as thiopurines and optimization in clinical trial protocols for treating cancer in children have led to a remarkable improvement in survival, from approximately 30% in the 1960s to more than 80% today. Short-term and long-term adverse effects of chemotherapy still affect most survivors of childhood cancer. Pharmacogenetics plays a major role in predicting the safety of cancer chemotherapy and, in the future, its effectiveness. Treatment failure in childhood cancer-due to either serious adverse effects that limit therapy or the failure of conventional dosing to induce remission-warrants development of new strategies for treatment. Here, we summarize the current knowledge of the pharmacogenomics of cancer drug treatment in children and of statistically and clinically relevant drug-gene associations and the mechanistic understandings that underscore their therapeutic value in the treatment of childhood cancer.

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a class of phase II detoxification enzymes that facilitate the elimination of anthracyclines. As free-radical scavengers, GSTs could play a role in oxidative damage-induced cardiomyopathy. Associations between the GSTμ1 (GSTM1) null genotype and iron-overload-related cardiomyopathy have been reported in patients with thalassemia. METHODS The authors sought to identify an association between the GSTM1 null genotype and anthracycline-related cardiomyopathy in childhood cancer survivors and to corroborate the association by examining GSTM1 gene expression in peripheral blood and human-induced pluripotent stem cell cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) from survivors with and without cardiomyopathy. GSTM1 gene deletion was examined by polymerase chain reaction in 75 survivors who had clinically validated cardiomyopathy (cases) and in 92 matched survivors without cardiomyopathy (controls). Conditional logistic regression analysis adjusting for sex, age at cancer diagnosis, chest radiation, and anthracycline dose was used to assess the association between genotype and cardiomyopathy. Proprietary bead array technology and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction were used to measure GSTM1 expression levels in samples from 20 cases and 20 matched controls. hiPSC-CMs from childhood cancer survivors (3 with cardiomyopathy, 3 without cardiomyopathy) also were examined for GSTM1 gene expression levels. RESULTS A significant association was observed between the risk of cardiomyopathy and the GSTM1 null genotype (odds ratio, 2.7; 95% CI, 1.3-5.9; P = .007). There was significant downregulation of GSTM1 expression in cases compared with controls (average relative expression, 0.67 ± 0.57 vs 1.33 ± 1.33, respectively; P = .049). hiPSC-CMs from patients who had cardiomyopathy revealed reduced GSTM1 expression (P = .007). CONCLUSIONS The current findings could facilitate the identification of childhood cancer survivors who are at risk for anthracycline-related cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Cardiac diseases in the growing population of childhood cancer survivors are of major concern. Cardiotoxicity as a consequence of anthracyclines and chest radiotherapy continues to be relevant in the modern treatment era. Mitoxantrone has emerged as an important treatment-related risk factor and evidence on traditional cardiovascular risk factors in childhood cancer survivors is accumulating. International surveillance guidelines have been developed with the aim to detect and manage cardiac diseases early and prevent symptomatic disease. There is growing interest in risk prediction models to individualize prevention and surveillance. This State-of-the-Art Review summarizes literature from a systematic PubMed search focused on cardiac diseases after treatment for childhood cancer. Here, we discuss the prevalence, risk factors, prevention, risk prediction, and surveillance of cardiac diseases in survivors of childhood cancer.

Abstract
Idelalisib is a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor highly selective for the delta isoform that has shown good efficacy in treating chronic lymphocytic leukemia and follicular lymphoma. In clinical trials, however, idelalisib was associated with rare, but potentially serious liver and lung toxicities. In this study, we used the Collaborative Cross (CC) mouse population to identify genetic factors associated with the drug response that may inform risk management strategies for idelalisib in humans. Eight male mice (4 matched pairs) from 50 CC lines were treated once daily for 14 days by oral gavage with either vehicle or idelalisib at a dose selected to achieve clinically relevant peak plasma concentrations (150 mg/kg/day). The drug was well tolerated across all CC lines, and there were no observations of overt liver injury. Differences across CC lines were seen in drug concentration in plasma samples collected at the approximate Tmax on study Days 1, 7, and 14. There were also small but statistically significant treatment-induced alterations in plasma total bile acids and microRNA-122, and these may indicate early hepatocellular stress required for immune-mediated hepatotoxicity in humans. Idelalisib treatment further induced significant elevations in the total cell count of terminal bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, which may be analogous to pneumonitis observed in the clinic. Genetic mapping identified loci associated with interim plasma idelalisib concentration and the other 3 treatment-related endpoints. Thirteen priority candidate quantitative trait genes identified in CC mice may now guide interrogation of risk factors for adverse drug responses associated with idelalisib in humans.

Abstract
In the past decades, new cancer treatments have been introduced in pediatric oncology leading to improvement in clinical outcomes and survival rates. However, due to inter-individual differences, some children experience severe chemotherapy-induced toxicities or a poor clinical outcome. An explanation for the diversity in response to chemotherapy is genetic variation, leading to differences in expression and activity of metabolizing and transport enzymes as well as drug targets. Pharmacogenetic testing has emerged as a promising tool to predict and limit acute and long-term adverse effects in patients. However, in pediatric oncology, limited number of patients and a considerable diversity in study results complicate the interpretation of test results and its clinical relevance. With this review, we provide an overview of new developments over the past four years regarding relevant polymorphisms related to toxicity in pediatric oncology. The following chemotherapeutics and associated toxicities are discussed: alkylating agents, anthracyclines, asparaginase, methotrexate, platinum compounds, steroids, thiopurines, topoisomerase inhibitors, and vinca alkaloids. Our review identifies several questions regarding the role of genetic variants in chemotherapy-induced toxicities. Ambiguities in the literature stem from small population sizes, differences in (statistical) interpretation and variations in sequencing technologies as well as different clinical outcome definitions. Standardization of clinical outcome data and toxicity definitions within electronic health records combined with the increased availability of genomic sequence techniques in clinical practice will help to validate these models in upcoming years.

Nonpeghylated liposomal doxorubicin combination regimen (R-COMP) for the treatment of lymphoma patients with advanced age or cardiac comorbidity. Hematol Oncol 2020; 38:478-486.

Abstract
Doxorubicin is the most effective single agent in the treatment of non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Its use is limited because of the cardiac toxicity primarily in elderly patients (pts) and in pts with history of cardiac disease. Liposomal doxorubicin has been proven to reduce cardiotoxicity. The aim of this retrospective study was the use of nonpeghylated liposomal doxorubicin (NPLD) in term of efficacy, response rate and incidence of cardiac events. We retrospectively collected the experience of 33 Hematological Italian Centers in using NPLD. Nine hundred and forty‐six consecutive pts treated with R‐COMP (doxorubicin was substituted with NPLD, Myocet) were collected. Median age was 74 years, the reasons for use of NPLD were: age (466 pts), cardiac disease (298 pts), uncontrolled hypertension (126 pts), other reasons (56 pts). According to clinicians' evaluation, 49.9% of pts would not have used standard doxorubicin for different situations (age, cardiomyopathy, previous use of doxorubicin, and uncontrolled hypertension). Overall 687 pts (72.6%) obtained a complete remission (CR). About 5% (n = 51) of subjects developed major cardiotoxic events including heart failure (N = 31), ischemic heart disease (N = 16), acute heart attack (N = 3), and acute pulmonary oedema (N = 1). After a median follow‐up of 32 months, 651 pts were alive and the overall survival (OS) was 72%. After a median observation period of 23 months disease free survival (DFS) was 58%. Either in univariate or in multivariate analysis OS and DFS were not significantly affected by age or cardiac disease. Our findings strongly support that including R‐COMP is effective and safe when the population is at high risk of cardiac events and negatively selected. Moreover, the use of this NPLD permitted that about half of our population had the opportunity to receive the best available treatment.
