OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of GSTP1， XRCC1， ABCB1， MTHFR gene polymorphisms on efficacy and toxic effect of chemotherapy regimen containing oxaliplatin in patients with stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ colorectal cancer patients. METHODS Clinical data of 76 patients with stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ colorectal cancer who received chemotherapy regimen containing oxaliplatin （XELOX，FOLFOX） were collected from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from September 2018 to March 2020. The correlation of genotypes with progression-free survival （PFS） and toxic effect was analyzed by using univariate and multivariate COX regression model. RESULTS Carriers of the ABCB1 3435T＞C locus C allele （TC/CC） had a significantly higher risk of progression compared to TT genotype patients [HR＝2.39， 95%CI （1.05，5.50）， P＝0.038]. The risk of progression in patients at stage Ⅳ was significantly higher than those at stage Ⅲ [HR＝8.11， 95%CI（3.39，19.40）， P＜0.001]. Chemotherapy regimen， Karnofsky performance status score and tumor site had no significant effect on disease progression （P＞0.05）. Mutations in gene loci were not correlated with adverse reactions （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Patients carrying ABCB1 TC/CC and receiving chemotherapy regimen containing oxaliplatin have a higher risk of disease progression， which may be associated with longer PFS in patients （TT genotype） with stage Ⅳ colorectal cancer receiving the chemotherapy， while GSTP1， XRCC1， and MTHFR gene polymorphisms have no significant impact.

miR604A>G gene polymorphism is associated with recurrent pregnancy loss in Turkish women

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Recurrent pregnancy loss is considerably a reproductive health problem for couples. Genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors play an important role in the development of recurrent pregnancy loss. While there are many causes, genetic and epigenetic factors are common. In this study, we aimed to examine the association between miR604 (rs2368393) A>G gene polymorphism and the risk of recurrent miscarriage in the Turkish population. METHODS: The study included 250 participants (i.e., 150 patients and 100 controls). DNA samples were isolated from peripheral blood, and polymerase chain reactions and restriction fragment length polymorphism methodologies were applied. RESULTS: The genotype distribution and allele frequencies of miR604A>G gene showed statistically significant differences between patients and control groups (p=0.002 and p<0.002, respectively). CONCLUSION: As a result of the study, we found that the AA genotype and A allele of the miR604A>G gene were statistically significant for the risk of recurrent pregnancy loss in Turkish women.

The relationship between MMP-2 rs243865, MMP-9 rs398242 and CXCL-12 rs1801157 gene polymorphisms with Japanese encephalitis disease and disease outcome in North Indian population

Background & objectives: Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is one of the most important causes of acute and uncontrolled inflammatory disease in Asia. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and chemokines play a detrimental role in the host response to JE disease, aetiology, and disease outcome. Evidently, MMPs are widely circulated in the brain and regulate various process including microglial activation, inflammation, blood-brain barrier disruption as well as affects central nervous system (CNS). The present study was to assess the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms of MMP-2, MMP-9 and chemokine (CXCL-12/SDF1-3’) in the north Indian population. Methods: We performed case-control study comprising of 125 patients and 125 healthy controls in north Indian population. Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood and gene polymorphism have been determined by PCR-RFLP method. Results: MMP-2, MMP-9 and CXCL-12 gene was not significantly associated with JE disease, but homozygous (T/T) genotype of MMP-2 was statically associated with disease outcome (p=0.05, OR=0.110). A/G and G/G genotype of CXCL-12 was significantly associated with severity of disease. (p=0.032, OR=5.500, p=0.037, OR= 9.167). The serum level of MMP-2 was observed significantly increased in JE patients with homozygous (T/T) genotype whereas increased MMP-9 level was associated with heterozygous genotype. Interpretation & conclusion: MMP-2, MMP-9 and CXCL-12 gene polymorphism were not associated with JE susceptibility, but MMP-2 may be contributed to disease protection. CXCL-12 was associated with disease severity. In our concern this is the first report from northern India.

Prediction of the Impact of CYP2C19 Polymorphism on Drug-Drug Interaction between Voriconazole and Tacrolimus Using Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic Modelling

Abstract Voriconazole increases tacrolimus blood concentration significantly when coadministrated. The recommendation of reducing tacrolimus to 1/3 in voriconazole package insert seems not to be satisfactory in clinical practice. In vitro studies demonstrated that the magnitude of inhibition depends on the concentration of voriconazole, while voriconazole exposure is determined by the genotype status of CYP2C19. CYP2C19 gene polymorphism challenges the management of drug-drug interactions(DDIs) between voriconazole and tacrolimus. This work aimed to predict the impact of CYP2C19 polymorphism on the DDIs by using physiologically based pharmacokinetics (PBPK) models. The precision of the developed voriconazole and tacrolimus models was reasonable by evaluating the pharmacokinetic parameters fold error, such as AUC0-24, Cmax and tmax. Voriconazole increased tacrolimus concentration immediately in all population. The simulated duration of DDIs disappearance after voriconazole withdrawal were 146h, 90h and 66h in poor metabolizers (PMs), intermediate metabolizers (IMs) and extensive metabolizers(EMs), respectively. The developed and optimized PBPK models in this study can be applied to assit the dose adjustment for tacrolimus with and without voriconazole.

To investigate the clinical role of T-cell transcription factor (TBX21) and adenylate cyclase 9 antibody (ADCY9) gene polymorphisms in the development of childhood asthma. METHODS: Two hundred Han Chinese wheezing children aged 5 years and younger in Henan region from July 2016 to January 2017 were selected as the study group, and another 100 Han Chinese healthy children aged 5 years and younger in the same period were selected as the control group. Oral mucosal exfoliated cells were collected from both groups, and the genotypes of TBX21 gene rs2240017 polymorphic locus and ADCY9 gene rs2230739 polymorphic locus were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, and the risk level of asthma was assessed based on the test results. The children in the low-risk and high-risk groups were compared in terms of serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels, API positivity rate and allergic disease incidence, and the correlation between the risk level of asthma-related genetic polymorphisms and serum IgE levels, API and allergic disease incidence was analyzed. All children were followed up until 6 years of age to confirm the diagnosis of asthma, and the incidence of asthma was compared between the low-risk and high-risk groups. Children with asthma were treated with inhaled glucocorticoids and leukotriene receptor antagonists for 3 months, and the control of asthma and the impairment of lung function were compared between the low-risk and high-risk groups. RESULTS: The genotype detection results of rs2240017 polymorphic locus of TBX21 gene and rs2230739 polymorphic locus of ADCY9 gene in the study group compared with those in the control group were statistically significant (P<0.001). The percentages of CC, CT, and TT genotypes of rs2240017 polymorphic locus of TBX21 gene were 19.50%, 56.00%, and 24.50%, respectively, and the percentages of CC, CG, and GG genotypes of rs2230739 polymorphic locus of ADCY9 gene were 86.00%, 10.00%, and 4.00%, respectively, in 200 children with wheezing; serum IgE level, API positivity rate and allergic disease incidence were higher in the high-risk group than in the low-risk group (P< 0.001, <0.001, 0.021, respectively). The degree of risk of asthma-related gene polymorphisms in children with wheezing was positively correlated with serum IgE levels, API positivity, and the incidence of allergic diseases (P<0.001); the incidence of asthma (81.48%) and impaired lung function (74.07%) were higher in the high-risk group than in the low-risk group (4.90%, 3.50%) (P<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between the asthma control rate of children with asthma in the high-risk group (79.55%) compared with the asthma control rate of children with asthma in the low-risk group (100.00%) (P=0.433). CONCLUSION: Gene polymorphisms at rs2240017 locus of TBX21 gene and rs2230739 locus of ADCY9 gene are closely associated with asthma development and impaired lung function in children with wheezing.

Objective To analyze the effects of fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene, IL-6, and HSP-60 gene polymorphism on the incidence rate and prognosis of breast cancer (BCa) for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Results A total of 1551 patients with BCa were included in the experimental group and 1605 women of the same age who participated in physical examination were included in the control group. The clinical data of the 3156 participants were collected through the baseline data questionnaire, and the genotypes of FTO, IL-6, and HSP-60 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) were determined through blood sample detection. The predictive value of the three SNPs for the incidence risk of BCa for T2DM patients was evaluated. The OS of 1168 patients with BCa was obtained through follow-up, and the effects of the three SNPs and T2DM on OS of BCa patients were evaluated. Results The three loci were FTO rs3751812, IL-6 rs1800796, and HSP-60 rs2605039. The BCa incidence rate for T2DM women with wild homozygous SNP genotype was significantly higher than that for non-T2DM women (FTO: χ2=3.530, P=0.013; IL-6: χ2=6.288, P=0.029; HSP-60: χ2=4.926, P=0.005). The three wild homozygous genotypes were independent risk factors that influenced the incidence rate of BCa (all P < 0.05). Patients with HSP-60 rs2605039 (GT+TT) genotype had better OS (P=0.031). Conclusion FTO, IL-6, and HSP-60 gene polymorphisms have certain value in BCa prediction for T2DM patients. Patients with BCa and HSP-60 rs2605039 GT+TT genotype have high OS.

Factors influencing bilirubin elevation and its correlation with UGT1A1 gene polymorphism in the early postoperative period of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt / 中华肝脏病杂志

Objective: To investigate the factors influencing total bilirubin elevation and its correlation with UGT1A1 gene polymorphism in the early postoperative period of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). Methods: 104 cases with portal hypertension and esophageal variceal hemorrhage (EVB) treated with elective TIPS treatment were selected as the study subjects and were divided into a bilirubin-elevated group and a normal bilirubin group according to the total bilirubin elevation level during the early postoperative period. Univariate analysis and logistic regression were used to analyze the factors influencing total bilirubin elevation in the early postoperative period. PCR amplification and first-generation sequencing technology were used to detect the polymorphic loci of the UGT1A1 gene promoter TATA box, enhancer c.-3279 T > G, c.211G > A, and c.686C > A. Logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation of four locus alleles and genotypes with elevated total bilirubin in the early postoperative period. Results: Among the 104 cases, 47 patients were in the bilirubin elevated group, including 35 males (74.5%) and 12 females (25.5%), aged (50.72 ± 12.56) years. There were 57 cases in the normal bilirubin group, including 42 males (73.7%) and 15 females (26.3%), aged (51.63 ± 11.10) years. There was no statistically significant difference in age (t = -0.391, P = 0.697) and gender (χ(2) = 0.008, P = 0.928) between the two groups of patients. Univariate analysis revealed that preoperative alanine transaminase (ALT) level (χ(2) = 5.954, P = 0.015), total bilirubin level (χ(2) = 16.638, P < 0.001), MELD score (χ(2) = 10.054, P = 0.018), Child-Pugh score (χ(2) = 6.844, P = 0.022), and postoperative portal vein branch development (χ(2) = 6.738, P = 0.034) were statistically significantly different between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative ALT level, total bilirubin level, and portal vein branch development after TIPS were correlated with the elevated total bilirubin in the early postoperative period. The polymorphism of the c.211G > A locus of the UGT1A1 gene correlation had elevated total bilirubin in the early postoperative period of TIPS. The risk of elevated total bilirubin was increased in the population carrying allele A (P = 0.001, OR = 4.049) in the early postoperative period. Allelic polymorphisms in the TATA box promoter region and enhancer c.-3279 T > G and c.686C > A had no statistically significant difference between the bilirubin-elevated group and the normal bilirubin group. Conclusion: The preoperative ALT level, total bilirubin level, and portal vein branch development are correlated with the elevated total bilirubin in early postoperative patients. The polymorphisms of the UGT1A1 gene and enhancer c.211G > A are correlated with the occurrence of elevated total bilirubin in the early postoperative period of TIPS. Allele A carrier may have a higher risk of elevated total bilirubin in the early postoperative period.

Application of gene detection in individualized treatment of lipid-lowering drugs / 中国药房

The main clinical manifestation of dyslipidemia is hyperlipidemia， which is an important risk factor leading to the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis， coronary heart disease and stroke. In clinical practice， lipid-lowering drugs are mainly used for treatment， but there are issues such as individual differences and genetic effects. Therefore， it is necessary to perform gene detection on patients， so as to guide individualized application of lipid-lowering drugs. This review mainly previews the definition of gene detection and the individualized treatment of lipid-lowering drugs， and introduces the application of gene detection in the individualized treatment of lipid-lowering drugs （statins， fibrates， nicotinic acid and ezetimibe）. Among them， the gene polymorphisms of APOE， SLCO1B1 and CYP450 family play a key role in the efficacy and safety of statins； the gene polymorphisms of APOA/B/C family have a significant impact on the efficacy of fenofibrate； the gene polymorphisms of HCAR2 and DGAT2 have an important impact on the efficacy of niacin； the gene polymorphisms of NPC1L1 have a significant impact on the efficacy of ezetimibe. It is suggested to conduct genotype detection for patients with dyslipidemia to select appropriate treatment strategies， so as to provide individualized medication guidance.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of gene polymorphism on opioid-induced constipation. METHODS The target genes related to opioid-induced constipation were screened out through searching guidelines， databases and evidence-based medical data， and then 100 cancer pain patients who received opioid drugs for analgesia were included as the study subjects. According to whether there were adverse effects of constipation after medication or not， they were divided into test group and control group， with 50 cases in each group. The target gene was detected by PCR or fluorescence in situ hybridization. The SNPStats program was used to carry out Hardy-Weinberg balance test and correlation analysis between gene polymorphism and opioid-induced constipation. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the relevant predictive factors of opioid-induced constipation， and receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve of subjects was drawn to analyze the effectiveness of each predictive factor in predicting opioid-induced constipation. RESULTS CYP2D6， CYP3A5*3， ABCB1 and OPRM1 were selected as target genes for detection. The results of genotype detection showed that the frequency distribution of CYP2D6 （rs1065852， rs1135822， rs16947， rs28371725， rs28371735）， CYP3A5*3 （058rs776746）， ABCB1 （062rs1045642）， OPRM1 （047rs1799971） alleles were consistent with Hardy-Weinbergbalance test. The correlation analysis results showed that the proportion of genotype GG and AG in CYP3A5*3 （058rs776746， 163.com A＞G） and genotype AA and AG in OPRM1 （047rs1799971， A＞G） of patients was significantly higher in test group than that in the control group （P＜0.05）. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that medication duration， CYP3A5*3 and OPRM1 gene polymorphism could be used as predictors of opioid- induced constipation in patients （P＜0.05）. The ROC curve analysis results showed that the areas under the ROC curves for medication duration and CYP3A5*3， OPRM1 gene polymorphism were 0.648， 0.640 and 0.670， respectively， with the optimal cutoff values of 124.0， 0.5 and 0.5， respectively. CONCLUSIONS Genotype GG and AG in CYP3A5*3 （058rs776746，A＞G） and genotype AA and AG in OPRM1 （047rs1799971，A＞G） are associated with opioid-induced constipation， which are expected to become clinical predictors of opioid-induced constipation， and more attention should be paid to the occurrence of constipation in patients who have been taking opioids for a long time.

The number of successfully sequenced samples of CYP2A6∗2, CYP2A6∗10, CYP2A6∗17, CYP2B6∗4, CYP2B6∗6, and CYP2B6∗18 were 326, 319, 328, 318, 322 and 328 respectively. The frequencies of variant alleles of CYP2A6∗2, CYP2A6∗10, CYP2A6∗17, CYP2B6∗4, CYP2B6∗6, and CYP2B6∗18 in Kazak population are: 0.61%, 0%, 0%, 30.97%, 22.98%, 0%. Conclusions　Mutation alleles affecting the metabolism of artemisinins exist in the Kazak population in Xinjiang. When using artemisinins, the relationship between the drug effect and individual pharmacogenetic background should be further explored.

Association of insulin signaling pathway -related gene polymorphisms and gene -gene interactions with MAFLD in obese children / 中南大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVES@#Insulin signaling pathway plays an important role in metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), however, the association between polymorphisms of genes related to insulin signaling pathway and MAFLD remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the association between insulin signaling pathway-related gene polymorphisms and gene-gene interactions with MAFLD susceptibility in obese children so as to provide scientific basis for further study of genetic mechanism.@*METHODS@#A total of 502 obese children with MAFLD who admitted to Hunan Provincial Children's Hospital from September 2019 to October 2021, were recruited as a case group, and 421 obese children with non-MAFLD admitted during the same period were recruited as a control group. Socio-demographic information, preterm birth history, eating habits, and exercise status of the subjects were collected by inquiry survey, and anthropometric information was collected by physical measurement. At the same time, 2 mL of venous blood was collected to extract DNA, and the polymorphism of insulin signaling pathway-related genes (5 representative candidate genes, 12 variants) was detected. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the association between insulin signaling pathway-related gene polymorphisms and MAFLD in obese children.@*RESULTS@#After adjusting for confounder factors, INS rs3842748 was significantly associated with the risk of MAFLD in obese children in allele, heterozygous, and dominant models [OR and 95% CI 1.749 (1.053 to 2.905), 1.909 (1.115 to 3.267), 1.862 (1.098 to 3.157), all P<0.05]; INS rs3842752 was significantly associated with the risk of MAFLD in obese children in heterozygous and dominant models [OR and 95% CI 1.736 (1.028 to 2.932), 1.700 (1.015 to 2.846), all P<0.05]. NR1H3 rs3758674 was significantly correlated with the risk of MAFLD in obese children in allele model [OR and 95% CI 0.716 (0.514 to 0.997), P<0.05]. SREBP-1c rs2297508 was significantly associated with the risk of MAFLD in obese children in allele and dominant models [OR and 95% CI 0.772 (0.602 to 0.991) and 0.743 (0.557 to 0.991), all P<0.05]. SREBP-1c rs8066560 was significantly associated with the risk of MAFLD in obese children in allele, heterozygous, and dominant models [OR and 95% CI 0.759 (0.589 to 0.980), 0.733 (0.541 to 0.992), 0.727 (0.543 to 0.974), all P<0.05]. NR1H3 rs3758674 mutant C and SREBP-1c rs2297508 mutant G had interaction in the development of MAFLD in obese children [OR and 95% CI 0.407 (0.173 to 0.954), P<0.05].@*CONCLUSIONS@#The INS, NR1H3, and SREBP-1c gene polymorphisms in the insulin signaling pathway are associated with the susceptibility of MAFLD in obese children, but the functions and mechanisms of these genes need to be further studied.

Recent research on the association between depressive disorder and gene polymorphisms in adolescents / 中国当代儿科杂志

Biogenetics plays an important role in the pathogenesis of depressive disorder in adolescents. Various genetic polymorphism studies have updated the understanding of adolescent depressive disorder. However, due to the influence of gene-environment interaction and age of puberty, the influence of gene polymorphisms on adolescent depressive disorder is complicated to clarify. Investigating and clarifying the relationship between gene polymorphisms and adolescent depressive disorder will promote the research on the pathogenesis of this disorder and provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of this disorder. This article reviews the genetic polymorphisms related to adolescent depressive disorder.

Relationship between ANKK1 gene polymorphism and atypical antipsychotic drug-induced metabolic syndrome / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE To explore the relationship between the ANKK1 rs1800497 polymorphism and atypical antipsychotic drug-induced metabolic syndrome （MS）. METHODS Totally 94 patients with schizophrenia were included， and ANKK1 rs1800497 genotypes of patients were detected by micro-fluorescence immunoassay； social demographic information， clinical characteristics and other data were collected. The χ2 test was used to compare the correlation between the sex of patients and the occurrence of MS， and the correlation between gene polymorphism and the occurrence of MS and its risk factors.RESULTS Totally 94 patients included 24 cases （25.53%） of GG， 51 cases （54.26%） of GA and 19 cases of AA （20.21%）. Among them， there were 45 cases （47.87%） of MS， and the incidence of MS in male was higher than that in female （P＜0.05）. Genotype analysis showed that ANKK1 rs1800497 polymorphism was not associated with MS （P＝0.452）. ANKK1 rs1800497 A allele was significantly associated with hyperglycemia （χ2＝4.379， P＝0.036）， while it was not related to abdominal obesity， hypertension， high level of TG and low level of HDL-C （P＞0.05）， suggesting that for patients with schizophrenia， allele A was a relative risk factor for inducing hyperglycemia [OR＝2.008，95%CI（1.039， 3.881）]. CONCLUSIONS ANKK1 rs1800497 polymorphism has no correlation with the induction of MS by atypical antipsychotics， while the schizophrenia patients with A allele are more likely to induce hyperglycemia. The incidence of MS in male patients is significantly higher than that in female patients.
