The enzymatic activity of CYP2C9 results in broad inter-individual variability in response to certain pharmacotherapies. The present study aimed to screen Tibetan volunteers for CYP2C9 genetic polymorphisms. Previous research has focused on Han Chinese patients, while little is known about the genetic variation of CYP2C9 in Tibetan populations.
We used DNA sequencing to investigate the promoter, exons and surrounding introns, and 3'-untranslated region of the CYP2C9 gene in 96 unrelated healthy Tibetan individuals.
We identified 26 different CYP2C9 polymorphisms in the Tibetan population, including two novel variants detected in exon 9 (50193G>A and 50197G>C). In addition, we determined the allele frequencies of CYP2C9*1 and 3 were 93.75% and 5.73%, respectively. The rare CYP2C955 allele was also found in 0.52% of the study population.
Our results provide information on CYP2C9 polymorphisms in Tibetan individuals, which may help to optimize pharmacotherapy effectiveness by providing personalized medicine to this ethnic group.
细胞色素P450 2C9(CYP2C9)的酶活性导致个体对某些药物治疗的反应存在广泛差异。本研究旨在筛查藏族志愿者的CYP2C9基因多态性。以往研究主要集中在汉族患者,而对藏族人群中CYP2C9基因变异了解甚少。
我们采用DNA测序技术,对96名无血缘关系的健康藏族个体的CYP2C9基因启动子、外显子及其周围内含子和3'非翻译区进行研究。
我们在藏族人群中鉴定出26种不同的CYP2C9多态性,包括在外显子9中检测到的两个新变异(50193G>A和50197G>C)。此外,我们确定CYP2C91和3的等位基因频率分别为93.75%和5.73%。在0.52%的研究人群中还发现了罕见的CYP2C9*55等位基因。
我们的研究结果提供了藏族个体CYP2C9基因多态性的信息,这可能有助于通过为该民族提供个性化医疗来优化药物治疗效果。
