Genome-Wide Association Study of HIV-Related Lipoatrophy in Thai Patients: Association of a DLGAP1 Polymorphism with Fat Loss.

ABSTRACT: HIV-related lipoatrophy (LA) is a major adverse drug effect among HIV patients receiving the antiretroviral drug stavudine (d4T) in Southeast Asia. Although the development of LA could be observed in almost all HIV patients administered d4T for extended periods, there is considerable variation in the duration required to develop LA within this patient population. This study aimed to identify host genetic polymorphisms affecting the rate of LA onset in Thai HIV patients. We performed a genome-wide association study of HIV-related LA among patients at the Bamrasnaradura Infectious Diseases Institute, Thailand. Genotypes of HIV patients who developed LA within 2 years of treatment were compared with those of patients who did not develop LA after at least 4 years of treatment (non-LA patients). Genotypes of 49 LA and 92 non-LA patients at 578,525 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were determined by Illumina bead arrays. The TaqMan real-time PCR method was used in a replication study. Five SNPs in the bead arrays, which showed the lowest p values in a comparison of LA with non-LA patients, were further tested in independent and sex-matched subpopulations consisting of 95 LA and 95 non-LA patients. This replication study revealed a significant association of LA with an SNP (rs12964965) in the gene encoding the Disks Large Homolog-Associated Protein 1 (DLGAP1), even after the correction for five multiple comparisons. These results strongly suggested involvement of the DLGAP1 gene product in the development of LA in Thai HIV patients.

Project description:In Thailand, the combined generic anti-retroviral drug stavudine/lamivudine/nevirapine (d4T/3TC/NVP) has been used to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals since 2001. Due to relatively frequent adverse effects, d4T gradually has been replaced with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). Although the frequency of adverse drug effects with TDF is lower than that with d4T, TDF is known to induce kidney dysfunction, especially in the proximal tubules. It has been reported that renal tubular transporters, including members of the multi-drug resistant (MDR) protein family, are implicated in tenofovir extrusion and may, therefore, confer susceptibility to TDF-induced kidney tubular dysfunction (KTD). We have explored the association between KTD and polymorphisms in genes that encode adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC)-type MDRs.HIV-infected patients receiving TDF-containing antiretroviral regimens for at least one year were enrolled in the study. The levels of beta2-microglobulin in urine and creatinine (Cr) were measured. Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms, ABCC2 C-24T (rs717620), ABCC2 G1429A (rs2273697), and ABCC4 T4976C (rs1059751), were analyzed using TaqMan SNP genotyping assays.A total of 273 HIV-infected patients were recruited. The median number of years of TDF treatment was 5.04 with interquartile range (IQR) of 3.9-6.7. Despite the length of treatment with TDF, 98.5% patients maintained an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of >60 mL/min as calculated by the CKD-EPI formula. Fifty-four patients (19.8%) showed beta2-microglobulinuria (median 2636 ?g/g Cr with IQR of 1519-13197 ?g/g Cr). The allele frequency of ABCC4 T4976C among those 54 patients was 0.602, compared to 0.475 among the 219 remaining patients (p = 0.018).Approximately 20% of HIV-infected patients receiving TDF showed beta2-microglobulinuria. The C allele at position 4976 of the ABCC4 gene was associated with beta2-microglobulinuria in this population. This polymorphism may help to identify patients at greater risk for developing TDF-associated KTD.
