Pharmacogenetic Variants and Plasma Concentrations of Antiseizure Drugs: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. JAMA Netw Open 2024; 7:e2425593. [PMID: 39115847 PMCID: PMC11310823 DOI: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2024.25593] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 08/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Importance Precise estimation of a patient's drug metabolism capacity is important for antiseizure dose personalization. Objective To quantify the differences in plasma concentrations for antiseizure drugs associated with variants of genes encoding drug metabolizing enzymes. Data Sources PubMed, Clinicaltrialsregister.eu, ClinicalTrials.gov, International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, and CENTRAL databases were screened for studies from January 1, 1990, to September 30, 2023, without language restrictions. Study Selection Two reviewers performed independent study screening and assessed the following inclusion criteria: appropriate genotyping was performed, genotype-based categorization into subgroups was possible, and each subgroup contained at least 3 participants. Data Extraction and Synthesis The Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines were followed for data extraction and subsequent quality, validity, and risk-of-bias assessments. The results from the included studies were pooled with random-effect meta-analysis. Main Outcomes and Measures Plasma concentrations of antiseizure drugs were quantified with the dose-normalized area under the concentration-time curve, the dose-normalized steady state concentration, or the concentrations after a single dose at standardized dose and sampling time. The ratio of the means was calculated by dividing the mean drug plasma concentrations of carriers and noncarriers of the pharmacogenetic variant. Results Data from 98 studies involving 12 543 adult participants treated with phenytoin, valproate, lamotrigine, or carbamazepine were analyzed. Studies were mainly conducted within East Asian (69 studies) or White or European (15 studies) cohorts. Significant increases of plasma concentrations compared with the reference subgroup were observed for phenytoin, by 46% (95% CI, 33%-61%) in CYP2C9 intermediate metabolizers, 20% (95% CI, 17%-30%) in CYP2C19 intermediate metabolizers, and 39% (95% CI, 24%-56%) in CYP2C19 poor metabolizers; for valproate, by 12% (95% CI, 4%-20%) in CYP2C9 intermediate metabolizers, 12% (95% CI, 2%-24%) in CYP2C19 intermediate metabolizers, and 20% (95% CI, 2%-41%) in CYP2C19 poor metabolizers; and for carbamazepine, by 12% (95% CI, 3%-22%) in CYP3A5 poor metabolizers. Conclusions and Relevance This systematic review and meta-analysis found that CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 genotypes encoding low enzymatic capacity were associated with a clinically relevant increase in phenytoin plasma concentrations, several pharmacogenetic variants were associated with statistically significant but only marginally clinically relevant changes in valproate and carbamazepine plasma concentrations, and numerous pharmacogenetic variants were not associated with statistically significant differences in plasma concentrations of antiseizure drugs.

Pharmacogenetic Aspects of Drug Metabolizing Enzymes and Transporters in Pediatric Medicine: Study Progress, Clinical Practice and Future Perspectives. Paediatr Drugs 2023; 25:301-319. [PMID: 36707496 DOI: 10.1007/s40272-023-00560-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 01/09/2023] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
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.

Abstract
CYP2C9, one of the most abundant hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes, is involved in metabolism of 15–20% of clinically important drugs (warfarin, sulfonylureas, phenytoin, non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs). To avoid adverse events and/or impaired drug-response, CYP2C9 pharmacogenetic testing is recommended. The impact of CYP2C9 polymorphic alleles (CYP2C9*2, CYP2C9*3) and phenoconverting non-genetic factors on CYP2C9 function and expression was investigated in liver tissues from Caucasian subjects (N = 164). The presence of CYP2C9*3 allele was associated with CYP2C9 functional impairment, and CYP2C9*2 influenced tolbutamide 4′-hydroxylase activity only in subjects with two polymorphic alleles, whereas the contribution of CYP2C8*3 was not confirmed. In addition to CYP2C9 genetic polymorphisms, non-genetic factors (co-medication with CYP2C9-specific inhibitors/inducers and non-specific factors including amoxicillin + clavulanic acid therapy or chronic alcohol consumption) contributed to the prediction of hepatic CYP2C9 activity; however, a CYP2C9 genotype–phenotype mismatch still existed in 32.6% of the subjects. Substantial variability in CYP2C9 mRNA levels, irrespective of CYP2C9 genotype, was demonstrated; however, CYP2C9 induction and non-specific non-genetic factors potentially resulting in liver injury appeared to modify CYP2C9 expression. In conclusion, complex implementation of CYP2C9 genotype and non-genetic factors for the most accurate estimation of hepatic CYP2C9 activity may improve efficiency and safety of medication with CYP2C9 substrate drugs in clinical practice.

The association of adjusted plasma valproic acid concentration with CYP2C9 gene polymorphism in patients with epilepsy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Abstract
Background Valproic acid (VPA) is a common antiepileptic drug used to treat both generalized and partial epilepsy. Although there is increasing evidence to suggest that CYP2C9 gene polymorphisms are associated with interindividual variability of VPA metabolism, the results are debatable. Therefore, in the present study, we conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the correlation between CYP2C9 gene polymorphisms and adjusted plasma VPA concentration. Methods The EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched to obtain relevant studies. Eligible articles were reviewed, and data extraction was performed. We calculated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and mean differences (MDs) to assess the strength of the relationship of CYP2C9 gene polymorphisms with adjusted plasma VPA concentration. Results The meta-analysis included 6 studies involving 847 patients with epilepsy. The pooled analysis showed that the CYP2C9 A1075C (AA vs. AC) polymorphism was related to the adjusted plasma concentration of VPA (P=0.02, I2= 82%). Additionally, the AC phenotype statistically significantly increased the adjusted plasma VPA concentration in children compared with the mixed age subgroup (P=0.04, I2= 48%). A similar association was observed between the AC phenotype for Asians (P<0.00001, I2=0%) but not for Caucasians (P=0.34, I2=87%). Discussion Age might be a crucial covariate influencing the dosage-adjusted VPA concentration in patients with epilepsy. A reduced VPA dosage may be recommendable for children, particularly Asian children, who are CYP2C9 A1075C AC carriers. Further studies could provide high-quality evidence to confirm the correlation between VPA pharmacokinetics and CYP2C9 A1075C polymorphisms.

Abstract
Purpose To perform therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of total and free plasma valproic acid (VPA) concentrations in pediatric patients with epilepsy and to analyze related factors. Patients and Methods Pediatric epileptic patients treated in 2015-2019 in our hospital were assessed. Total and free plasma VPA concentrations were obtained by UPLC and LC-MS/MS, respectively. Regression analysis was performed to examine the associations of free plasma VPA with total plasma VPA and plasma protein binding rate. The impacts of individual situation, CYP2C9 genotype, and drug combination on VPA concentration were examined. Results Of the 251 patients, 81 had lower total concentrations than effective therapeutic levels; 86 and 31 patients had infections and central nervous system dysplasia, respectively. VPA's daily doses and free drug concentrations were significantly lower in the CYP2C9 *3/*3 genotype group versus the CYP2C9 *1/*3 and CYP2C9 *1/*1 groups (P<0.05). Free and total VPA concentrations were linked by Y = 0.0004 X2 + 0.042 X + 0.3035 (r=0.6981); VPA plasma protein binding rate and free VPA concentration were related by Y = 0.0003 X2 - 0.0127 X + 0.9777 (r=0.8136). Both total and free VPA concentrations were significantly decreased in patients simultaneously administered phenobarbital, meropenem and biapenem (P<0.05), with therapeutic failure after meropenem/biapenem co-administration. Conclusion Free VPA amounts have nonlinear relationships with total VPA amounts and plasma protein binding rate in epileptic children. Additionally, CYP2C9 *3/*3 expression affects VPA metabolism. Since phenobarbital affects VPA metabolism, TDM is recommended. Meanwhile, carbapenem-co-administration with VPA should be prohibited.

Abstract
BACKGROUND End-stage renal disease is an irreversible status of kidney dysfunction that reduces both renal and non-renal drug clearance. Accumulation of uremic toxins seems to modify the activities of drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes. The aim of the present work was to refine gene expression analysis for efficient and accurate quantification of CYP mRNAs in patients' leukocytes. METHODS We compared six liquid-liquid extraction reagents for RNA isolation and five reverse transcriptase kits for RNA-to-cDNA conversion, and developed quantitative polymerase chain reaction methods for duplex measurements of CYP target genes and the reference gene. The expression of CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 in patients with end-stage kidney disease (N = 105) and in organ donors with healthy kidney function (N = 110) was compared. RESULTS Regarding the RNA yield and purity, TRIzol, Trizolate and TRI reagents were equal; however, TRI reagent was the most advantageous in terms of financial cost. Reverse transcription using Maxima First Strand cDNA Synthesis kit appeared to be the most efficient with the widest range for quantification of the target transcript. The refined method with the detection of various CYPs and the reference gene in duplex PCR efficiently quantified even the low-level CYP expression. In leukocytes of patients with end-stage renal disease, all four CYPs were expressed at significantly lower level than in organ donors with normal kidney function (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Reduced CYP expression was a direct evidence of transcriptional down-regulation of CYP genes in patients with impaired kidney function.

Genetic and Non-genetic Factors Contributing to the Significant Variation in the Plasma Trough Concentration-to-Dose Ratio of Valproic Acid in Children With Epilepsy. Front Pediatr 2020; 8:599044. [PMID: 33553069 PMCID: PMC7855978 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2020.599044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2020] [Accepted: 12/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the potential genetic and non-genetic factors contributing to plasma trough concentration-to-dose (C 0/D) ratio of valproic acid (VPA) in pediatric patients with epilepsy. Study Design: A single-center, retrospective cohort study was performed by collecting data from 194 children aged 1-14 years between May 2018 and November 2018. The oral solution (n = 135) group and the sustained-release (SR) tablet group (n = 59) were defined, and the plasma VPA C 0 was measured. Twenty-six single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were chosen for genotyping with the MassARRAY system. A multiple logistic regression model was used for data analysis. Results: Body weight (BW) and age were positively correlated with the C 0/D ratio in 194 patients, but the positive correlation disappeared after the patients were divided into oral solution and SR tablet subgroups. The average C 0/D ratio was significantly increased by 2.11-fold (P = 0.000) in children who took VPA SR tablets compared with children who were administered VPA oral solutions. No significant association between genetic variants and the C 0/D ratio was found, even for the five well-studied SNPs, namely UGT2B7 G211T, C802T, C161T, T125C, and CYP2C9 * 3 A1075C. However, a significant association between the C 0/D ratio and UGT1A6/9 Del>A (rs144486213) was observed in the VPA oral solution group, but not in the VPA SR tablet group. Conclusions: The dosage forms of sodium valproate, rather than BW, age, or genetic polymorphisms, significantly affected the VPA C 0/D ratios in pediatric patients with epilepsy. Based on our findings, switching the dosage form between solution and SR tablet should be performed cautiously. Total daily dose adjustment should be considered, and the plasma concentration, seizure-control effect, and adverse drug reaction should also be monitored very closely.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genetic polymorphisms of drug metabolizing enzymes can substantially modify the pharmacokinetics of a drug and eventually its efficacy or toxicity; however, inferring a patient's drug metabolizing capacity merely from his or her genotype can lead to false prediction. Non-genetic host factors (age, sex, disease states) and environmental factors (nutrition, comedication) can transiently alter the enzyme expression and activities resulting in genotypephenotype mismatch. Although valproic acid is a well-tolerated anticonvulsant, pediatric patients are particularly vulnerable to valproate injury that can be partly attributed to the age-related differences in metabolic pathways. METHODS CYP2C9 mediated oxidation of valproate, which is the minor metabolic pathway in adults, appears to become the principal route in children. Genetic and non-genetic variations in CYP2C9 activity can result in significant inter- and intra-individual differences in valproate pharmacokinetics and valproate induced adverse reactions. RESULTS The loss-of-function alleles, CYP2C9*2 or CYP2C9*3, display significant reduction in valproate metabolism in children; furthermore, low CYP2C9 expression in patients with CYP2C9*1/*1 genotype also leads to a decrease in valproate metabolizing capacity. Due to phenoconversion, the homozygous wild genotype, expected to be translated to CYP2C9 enzyme with normal activity, is transiently switched into poor (or extensive) metabolizer phenotype. CONCLUSION Novel strategy for valproate therapy adjusted to CYP2C9-status (CYP2C9 genotype and CYP2C9 expression) is strongly recommended in childhood. The early knowledge of pediatric patients' CYP2C9-status facilitates the optimization of valproate dosing which contributes to the avoidance of misdosing induced adverse reactions, such as abnormal blood levels of ammonia and alkaline phosphatase, and improves the safety of children's anticonvulsant therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CYP2C19 is an important drug-metabolizing enzyme, responsible for metabolism of approximately 10% of the drugs on the market. Large inter-individual differences exist in metabolic activities, which are primarily attributed to genetic polymorphism of CYP2C19 gene. Conflicting results have been published about the role of CYP2C19 polymorphisms in metabolism of CYP2C19 substrates and clinical outcomes; thus, we aimed to investigate CYP2C19 genotype-phenotype associations, and we sought to elicit potential causes of discrepancies in the genotype-based prediction by incorporating the liver donors' demographic data, drug administration events and pathological conditions. METHODS (S)-Mephenytoin was used to assess CYP2C19 activities in human liver microsomes derived from 114 Hungarian organ donors. CYP2C19 genotype was determined by SNP genotyping for CYP2C19*2, CYP2C19*3, CYP2C19*4 and CYP2C19*17 variants, and CYP2C19 mRNA levels were measured by qPCR method. Clinical data of the donors were considered in the genotype-based phenotype prediction. RESULTS CYP2C19 phenotype of 40% of the donors was well-predicted from the genotype data, whereas the phenotype of 13% was underestimated displaying higher activity, and of 47% was overestimated displaying lower activity than predicted from CYP2C19 genotype. Among the donors with overestimated phenotype, one was treated with CYP2C19 substrate/inhibitor, 9 were on amoxicillin-clavulanic acid therapy, 7 were chronic alcohol consumers and 9 had disease with inflammatory processes. CONCLUSIONS CYP2C19 genotype only partially determines the CYP2C19 phenotypic appearance; co-medication, diseases with inflammatory processes and aspecific factors, such as chronic alcohol consumption and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid therapy (or any drug therapy resulting in liver injury) seem to be potential phenotype-modifying factors.

Abstract
Despite strong pharmacological support, association studies using genotype-predicted phenotype as a variable have yielded conflicting or inconclusive evidence to promote personalized pharmacotherapy. Unless the patient is a genotypic poor metabolizer, imputation of patient's metabolic capacity (or metabolic phenotype), a major factor in drug exposure-related clinical response, is a complex and highly challenging task because of limited number of alleles interrogated, population-specific differences in allele frequencies, allele-specific substrate-selectivity and importantly, phenoconversion mediated by co-medications and inflammatory co-morbidities that modulate the functional activity of drug metabolizing enzymes. Furthermore, metabolic phenotype and clinical outcomes are not binary functions; there is large intragenotypic and intraindividual variability. Therefore, the ability of association studies to identify relationships between genotype and clinical outcomes can be greatly enhanced by determining phenotype measures of study participants and/or by therapeutic drug monitoring to correlate drug concentrations with genotype and actual metabolic phenotype. To facilitate improved analysis and reporting of association studies, we propose acronyms with the prefixes ‘g’ (genotype-predicted phenotype) and ‘m’ (measured metabolic phenotype) to better describe this important variable of the study subjects. Inclusion of actually measured metabolic phenotype, and when appropriate therapeutic drug monitoring, promises to reveal relationships that may not be detected by using genotype alone as the variable.

Abstract
An increased risk of valproate-induced toxicity has been reported in children, particularly in those younger than 2 years of age. Significant variations in valproate pharmacokinetics and shifts in the metabolic pathways towards CYP2C9-dependent metabolism seem to play some role in the age-related differences in the incidence of adverse events. We present the case of a premature patient with moderate hemorrhage in the subependymal region (grade II - intraventricular hemorrhage without ventricular dilatation), several myoclonic episodes in her right upper arm (series of jerks lasting milliseconds), and epileptiform abnormalities on the EEG (localized spike-and-wave in the left frontal region with preserved background activity who was treated with valproate. Serious side effects, consisting of bone marrow depression, hyperammonemia, and serum alkaline phosphatase elevation, were observed seventeen days after the beginning of valproate therapy. The toxic symptoms were likely the consequence of a reduced ability to metabolize valproate. The patient was demonstrated to carry two loss-of-function mutations in CYP2C9 (CYP2C9*3/*3) resulting in exaggerated blood concentrations of valproate. The present case highlights the importance of assaying inborn errors in CYP2C9 gene in pediatric patients to avoid valproate-evoked serious side effects.
