A Novel Admixture-Based Pharmacogenetic Approach to Refine Warfarin Dosing in Caribbean Hispanics.

ABSTRACT: AIM:This study is aimed at developing a novel admixture-adjusted pharmacogenomic approach to individually refine warfarin dosing in Caribbean Hispanic patients. PATIENTS & METHODS:A multiple linear regression analysis of effective warfarin doses versus relevant genotypes, admixture, clinical and demographic factors was performed in 255 patients and further validated externally in another cohort of 55 individuals. RESULTS:The admixture-adjusted, genotype-guided warfarin dosing refinement algorithm developed in Caribbean Hispanics showed better predictability (R2 = 0.70, MAE = 0.72mg/day) than a clinical algorithm that excluded genotypes and admixture (R2 = 0.60, MAE = 0.99mg/day), and outperformed two prior pharmacogenetic algorithms in predicting effective dose in this population. For patients at the highest risk of adverse events, 45.5% of the dose predictions using the developed pharmacogenetic model resulted in ideal dose as compared with only 29% when using the clinical non-genetic algorithm (p<0.001). The admixture-driven pharmacogenetic algorithm predicted 58% of warfarin dose variance when externally validated in 55 individuals from an independent validation cohort (MAE = 0.89 mg/day, 24% mean bias). CONCLUSIONS:Results supported our rationale to incorporate individual's genotypes and unique admixture metrics into pharmacogenetic refinement models in order to increase predictability when expanding them to admixed populations like Caribbean Hispanics.

Project description:ObjectiveMultiple linear regression (MLR) and machine learning techniques in pharmacogenetic algorithm-based warfarin dosing have been reported. However, performances of these algorithms in racially diverse group have never been objectively evaluated and compared. In this literature-based study, we compared the performances of eight machine learning techniques with those of MLR in a large, racially-diverse cohort.MethodsMLR, artificial neural network (ANN), regression tree (RT), multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), boosted regression tree (BRT), support vector regression (SVR), random forest regression (RFR), lasso regression (LAR) and Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) were applied in warfarin dose algorithms in a cohort from the International Warfarin Pharmacogenetics Consortium database. Covariates obtained by stepwise regression from 80% of randomly selected patients were used to develop algorithms. To compare the performances of these algorithms, the mean percentage of patients whose predicted dose fell within 20% of the actual dose (mean percentage within 20%) and the mean absolute error (MAE) were calculated in the remaining 20% of patients. The performances of these techniques in different races, as well as the dose ranges of therapeutic warfarin were compared. Robust results were obtained after 100 rounds of resampling.ResultsBART, MARS and SVR were statistically indistinguishable and significantly out performed all the other approaches in the whole cohort (MAE: 8.84-8.96 mg/week, mean percentage within 20%: 45.88%-46.35%). In the White population, MARS and BART showed higher mean percentage within 20% and lower mean MAE than those of MLR (all p values < 0.05). In the Asian population, SVR, BART, MARS and LAR performed the same as MLR. MLR and LAR optimally performed among the Black population. When patients were grouped in terms of warfarin dose range, all machine learning techniques except ANN and LAR showed significantly higher mean percentage within 20%, and lower MAE (all p values < 0.05) than MLR in the low- and high- dose ranges.ConclusionOverall, machine learning-based techniques, BART, MARS and SVR performed superior than MLR in warfarin pharmacogenetic dosing. Differences of algorithms' performances exist among the races. Moreover, machine learning-based algorithms tended to perform better in the low- and high- dose ranges than MLR.

Project description:Pharmacogenetic analysis has generated translational data that could be applied to guide treatments according to individual genetic variations. However, pharmacogenetic counseling in some mestizo (admixed) populations may require tailoring to different patterns of admixture. The identification and clustering of individuals with related admixture patterns in such populations could help to refine the practice of pharmacogenetic counseling. This study identifies related groups in a highly admixed population-based sample from Mexico, and analyzes the differential distribution of actionable pharmacogenetic variants. A subsample of 1728 individuals from the Mexican Genomic Database for Addiction Research (MxGDAR/Encodat) was analyzed. Genotyping was performed with the commercial PsychArray BeadChip, genome-wide ancestry was estimated using EIGENSOFT, and model-based clustering was applied to defined admixture groups. Actionable pharmacogenetic variants were identified with a query to the Pharmacogenomics Knowledge Base (PharmGKB) database, and functional prediction using the Variant Effect Predictor (VEP). Allele frequencies were compared with chi-square tests and differentiation was estimated by FST. Seven admixture groups were identified in Mexico. Some, like Group 1, Group 4, and Group 5, were found exclusively in certain geographic areas. More than 90% of the individuals, in some groups (Group 1, Group 4 and Group 5) were found in the Central-East and Southeast region of the country. MTRR p.I49M, ABCG2 p.Q141K, CHRNA5 p.D398N, SLCO2B1 rs2851069 show a low degree of differentiation between admixture groups. ANKK1 p.G318R and p.H90R, had the lowest allele frequency of Group 1. The reduction in these alleles reduces the risk of toxicity from anticancer and antihypercholesterolemic drugs. Our analysis identified different admixture patterns and described how they could be used to refine the practice of pharmacogenetic counseling for this admixed population.

Project description:Warfarin is the most common oral anticoagulant. Because of a narrow therapeutic range, interindividual differences in drug responses, and the risk of bleeding, there are many challenges in using warfarin. We need to predict the warfarin maintenance dose. However, ethnic-specific algorithms may be required, and some Chinese algorithms do not perform adequately. Therefore, we aimed to establish a Han Chinese appropriate algorithm.We recruited a study group consisting of 361 Han Chinese patients receiving warfarin treatment who had heart valve replacements. Genotyping of 38 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 13 candidate genes was carried out using the MassARRAY. In the derivation cohort, a multiple linear regression model was constructed to predict the warfarin dosage. We evaluated the accuracy of our algorithm in the validation cohort and compared it with the other 5 algorithms based on Han Chinese and other races.We established a Han Chinese-specific pharmacogenetic-guided warfarin dosing algorithm. Warfarin maintenance dosage (mg/day) = 1.787 - 0.023 × (Age) + 1.151 × (BSA [m]) + 0.917 × (VKORC1 AG) + 4.619 × (VKORC1 GG) + 0.595 × (CYP4F2 TT) + 0.707 × (CYP2C19 CC). It explained 58.3% of the variance in warfarin doses in Han Chinese patients and was superior to the other 5 algorithms. The ability of the 6 algorithms which estimate the required dose correctly was tested. Our model had a mean absolute error of 0.74 mg/day, the other 5 models have mean absolute error of 0.81 mg/day,1.05 mg/day, 1.24 mg/day, 1.18 mg/day, and 0.85 mg/day, respectively. Our model had a mean percentage error of 26.9%, the other 5 models have the mean percentage error of 27.7%, 27.2%, 52.3%, 45.7%, and 29.3%, respectively.Physicians can not adopt algorithm from other race directly to predict warfarin dose in patients with heart valve replacements, they should establish a new algorithm or adjust another algorithm to fit their patients. The algorithm established in this study has the potential to assist physicians in determining warfarin doses that are close to the appropriate doses.
