Clinically relevant genetic variants of drug-metabolizing enzyme and transporter genes detected in Thai children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder.

ABSTRACT: Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) among drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters (DMETs) influence the pharmacokinetic profile of drugs and exhibit intra- and interethnic variations in drug response in terms of efficacy and safety profile. The main objective of this study was to assess the frequency of allelic variants of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination-related genes in Thai children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. Blood samples were drawn from 119 patients, and DNA was extracted. Genotyping was performed using the DMET Plus microarray platform. The allele frequencies of the DMET markers were generated using the DMET Console software. Thereafter, the genetic variations of significant DMET genes were assessed. The frequencies of SNPs across the genes coding for DMETs were determined. After filtering the SNPs, 489 of the 1,931 SNPs passed quality control. Many clinically relevant SNPs, including CYP2C19*2, CYP2D6*10, CYP3A5*3, and SLCO1B1*5, were found to have frequencies similar to those in the Chinese population. These data are important for further research to investigate the interpatient variability in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs in clinical practice.

Project description:Human genetic studies have implicated more than a hundred genes in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Understanding how variation in implicated genes influence expression of co-occurring conditions and drug response can inform more effective, personalized approaches for treatment of individuals with ASD. Rapidly translating this information into the clinic requires efficient algorithms to sort through the myriad of genes implicated by rare gene-damaging single nucleotide and copy number variants, and common variation detected in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). To pinpoint genes that are more likely to have clinically relevant variants, we developed a functional annotation pipeline. We defined clinical relevance in this project as any ASD associated gene with evidence indicating a patient may have a complex, co-occurring condition that requires direct intervention (e.g., sleep and gastrointestinal disturbances, attention deficit hyperactivity, anxiety, seizures, depression), or is relevant to drug development and/or approaches to maximizing efficacy and minimizing adverse events (i.e., pharmacogenomics). Starting with a list of all candidate genes implicated in all manifestations of ASD (i.e., idiopathic and syndromic), this pipeline uses databases that represent multiple lines of evidence to identify genes: (1) expressed in the human brain, (2) involved in ASD-relevant biological processes and resulting in analogous phenotypes in mice, (3) whose products are targeted by approved pharmaceutical compounds or possessing pharmacogenetic variation and (4) whose products directly interact with those of genes with variants recommended to be tested for by the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG). Compared with 1000 gene sets, each with a random selection of human protein coding genes, more genes in the ASD set were annotated for each category evaluated (p ≤ 1.99 × 10-2). Of the 956 ASD-implicated genes in the full set, 18 were flagged based on evidence in all categories. Fewer genes from randomly drawn sets were annotated in all categories (x = 8.02, sd = 2.56, p = 7.75 × 10-4). Notably, none of the prioritized genes are represented among the 59 genes compiled by the ACMG, and 78% had a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant in ClinVar. Results from this work should rapidly prioritize potentially actionable results from genetic studies and, in turn, inform future work toward clinical decision support for personalized care based on genetic testing.
