CYP2B6 Genetic Polymorphisms, Depression, and Viral Suppression in Adults Living with HIV Initiating Efavirenz-Containing Antiretroviral Therapy Regimens in Uganda: Pooled Analysis of Two Prospective Studies.

ABSTRACT: Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CYP2B6 have been shown to predict variation in plasma efavirenz concentrations, but associations between these SNPs and efavirenz-mediated depression and viral suppression are less well described. We evaluated three SNPs in CYP2B6 (rs3745274, rs28399499, and rs4803419) in Ugandan persons living with HIV. To define exposure, we used previously published pharmacokinetic modeling data to categorize participants as normal, intermediate, and poor efavirenz metabolizers. Our outcomes were probable depression in the first 2 years after antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation (mean score of >1.75 on the Hopkins Symptom Depression Checklist) and viral suppression 6 months after ART initiation. We fit generalized estimating equation and modified Poisson regression models adjusted for demographic, clinical, and psychosocial characteristics with or without individuals with depression at the time of ART initiation. Among 242 participants, there were no differences in the pre-ART depression or viral load by efavirenz metabolism strata (p?>?.05). Participants were classified as normal (32%), intermediate (50%), and poor (18%) metabolizers. Seven percent (56/242) of follow-up visits met criteria for depression. Eighty-five percent (167/202) of participants who completed a 6-month visit achieved viral suppression. CYP2B6 metabolizer strata did not have a statistically significant association with either depression [adjusted risk ratio (aRR) comparing intermediate or poor vs. normal, 1.46; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.72-2.95] or 6-month viral suppression (aRR, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.88-1.15). However, in analyses restricted to participants without pre-ART depression, poorer CYP2B6 metabolism was associated with increased odds of depression (adjusted odds ratio, 4.11; 95% CI, 1.04-16.20). Efavirenz-metabolizing allele patterns are strongly associated with risk of incident depression. Future work should elucidate further region-specific gene-environment interactions and whether alternate polymorphisms may be associated with efavirenz metabolism.

Project description:Abstract Background Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CYP2B6 have previously been associated with a 10-fold range in trough plasma efavirenz concentrations, but associations between these SNPs and efavirenz (EFV)-mediated viral suppression and tolerability remain unclear. Methods We evaluated three SNPs in CYP2B6 (rs3745274, rs28399499, and rs4803419, Illumina OmniExpress) among HIV-infected Ugandans observed in a cohort study every 3–4 months from 2005–2015. Genotypes from these SNPs were used to group participants into previously described pharmacokinetic strata: extensive (EXT), intermediate (INT), and slow metabolizers (Figure 1). The primary outcomes were viral suppression, defined by an undetectable viral load in the first measurement a minimum of three months after ART initiation, and incident depression in the first two years, defined by a mean score >1.75 on the Hopkins Symptom Checklist. We fitted standard and generalized estimating equations (GEE) logistic regression models for viral suppression and depression, respectively. Models were adjusted for clinical and demographic covariates that reached a significance of P < 0.25 in unadjusted models. Results Among 103 participants with genotyping, there were no differences in pre-ART viral load or depression by metabolism strata (P > 0.5). Minor allele frequencies for rs3745274, rs28399499, and rs4803419 were 33%, 7%, and 4%, respectively. Approximately 79%, 78%, and 94% of participants were suppressed at their first viral load measurement in the extensive, intermediate, and slow metabolizer strata, respectively (Figure 2; P = 0.35). In adjusted models, metabolism strata were not associated with viral suppression (AORINT 0.81, 95% CI 0.26–2.56; AORSLOW 3.92, 95% CI 0.39–39.40) or with depression (AORINT 1.95, 95% CI 0.75–5.09; AORSLOW 0.72, 95% CI 0.17–3.02; Table). Conclusion We did not identify an association between efavirenz-metabolizing polymorphisms and viral suppression or depression in a cohort of HIV-infected individuals initiating ART in southwestern Uganda. Future work should reassess these relationships with larger samples and longer-term outcomes and explore additional polymorphisms that may be associated with efavirenz metabolism in this population.
