Association of UGT1A1*6 Polymorphisms with Irinotecan-induced Toxicities:A Meta-analysis / 中国医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To conduct a meta?analysis of literatures to explore the relationship of UGT1A1*6 gene polymorphism and irinotecan toxici?ty,so as to guide clinical treatment. Methods Papers were searched by PubMed database and manual search. The inclusion and exclusion criteria of studies were formulated and the methodologies quality was assessed,data were extracted and the statistical analysis was made using STATA12.0 software. Results A total of 12 articles were included according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients with mutated UGT1A1*6 showed an increased risk for neutropenia compared to wild UGT1A1*6(OR=2.37,95%CI 1.58?3.55,P=0.001). Both homozygous and heterozygous muta?tion showed an increased risk for neutropenia compared to wild type and the homozygous mutation(OR=5.09,95%CI 2.74?9.45,P<0.001) showed an even higher risk for neutropenia compared to the heterozygous mutation(OR=2.07,95%CI 1.37?3.13,P=0.001). For severe diarrhea, mutated UGT1A1*6 showed an increased risk compared to wild type(OR=1.48,95%CI 0.86?2.55,P=0.153),though without statistical signifi?cance. The homozygous mutation performed a significantly increased risk(OR=3.51,95%CI 1.33?9.25,P=0.011)and the heterozygous mutation also showed increased risk,however,the difference between them was not statistically significant. Conclusion UGT1A1*6polymorphisms can pre?dict irinotecan toxicity,especially for incidence of neutropenia.
