Identification of genetic variants associated with capecitabine-induced hand-foot syndrome through integration of patient and cell line genomic analyses.

ABSTRACT: A primary challenge in identifying replicable pharmacogenomic markers from clinical genomewide association study (GWAS) trials in oncology is the difficulty in performing a second large clinical trial with the same drugs and dosage regimen. We sought to overcome this challenge by incorporating GWAS results from cell-based studies using the same chemotherapy as a clinical cohort.In this study, we test whether the overlap between genetic variants identified in a preclinical study and a clinical study on capecitabine is more than expected by chance. A GWAS of capecitabine-induced cytotoxicity was performed in 164 lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from the CEU HapMap population and compared with a GWAS of hand-foot syndrome (HFS), the most frequent capecitabine-induced adverse drug reaction, in Spanish breast and colorectal cancer patients (n=160) treated with capecitabine.We observed an overlap of 16 single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with capecitabine-induced cytotoxicity (P<0.001) in lymphoblastoid cell lines and HFS (P<0.05) in patients, which is a greater overlap than expected by chance (genotype-phenotype permutation empirical P=0.015). Ten tag single nucleotide polymorphisms, which cover the overlap loci, were genotyped in a second patient cohort (n=85) and one of them, rs9936750, was associated with capecitabine-induced HFS (P=0.0076).The enrichment results imply that cellular models of capecitabine-induced cytotoxicity may capture components of the underlying polygenic architecture of related toxicities in patients.
