The aim of this study was to identify risk variants and haplotypes that impair dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) activity and are, therefore, candidate risk variants for severe toxicity to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) chemotherapy.
Plasma dihydrouracil/uracil (UH /U) ratios were measured as a population marker for DPD activity in a total of 1382 subjects from 4 independent studies. Genotype and haplotype correlations with UH /U ratios were assessed.
Significantly lower UH /U ratios (p < 2 × 10 ) were observed in carriers of the 4 well-studied 5-FU toxicity risk variants with mean differences (MD) of -43.7% for DPYD c.1905 + 1G > A (rs3918290), -46.0% for DPYD c.1679T > G (rs55886062), -37.1%, for DPYD c.2846A > T (rs67376798), and -13.2% for DPYD c.1129-5923C > G (rs75017182). An additional variant, DPYD c.496A > G (rs2297595), was also associated with lower UH /U ratios (P < .0001, MD: -12.6%). A haplotype analysis was performed for variants in linkage disequilibrium with c.496A > G, which consisted of the common variant c.85T > C (rs1801265) and the risk variant c.1129-5923C > G. Both haplotypes carrying c.496A > G were associated with decreased UH /U ratios (H3, P = .003, MD: -9.6%; H5, P = .002, MD: -16.9%). A haplotype carrying only the variant c.85T > C (H2) was associated with elevated ratios (P = .004, MD: +8.6%).
Based on our data, DPYD-c.496A > G is a strong candidate risk allele for 5-FU toxicity. Our data suggest that DPYD-c.85T > C might be protective; however, the deleterious impacts of the linked alleles c.496A > G and c.1129-5923C > G likely limit this effect in patients. The possible protective effect of c.85T > C and linkage disequilibrium with c.496A > G and c.1129-5923C > G may have hampered prior association studies and should be considered in future clinical studies.
本研究旨在识别损害二氢嘧啶脱氢酶(DPD)活性的风险变异体和单倍型,因此,这些是对5-氟尿嘧啶(5-FU)化疗产生严重毒性的候选风险变异体。
在来自4项独立研究的总共1382名受试者中,测量血浆二氢尿嘧啶/尿嘧啶(UH/U)比值作为DPD活性的群体标志物。评估基因型和单倍型与UH/U比值的相关性。
在4个经过充分研究的5-FU毒性风险变异体的携带者中观察到显著较低的UH/U比值(p<2×10),DPYD c.1905+1G>A(rs3918290)的平均差异(MD)为-43.7%,DPYD c.1679T>G(rs55886062)为-46.0%,DPYD c.2846A>T(rs67376798)为-37.1%,DPYD c.1129-5923C>G(rs75017182)为-13.2%。另一个变异体DPYD c.496A>G(rs2297595)也与较低的UH/U比值相关(P<.0001,MD:-12.6%)。对与c.496A>G处于连锁不平衡的变异体进行了单倍型分析,其由常见变异体c.85T>C(rs1801265)和风险变异体c.1129-5923C>G组成。携带c.496A>G的两种单倍型均与UH/U比值降低相关(H3,P=.003,MD:-9.6%;H5,P=.002,MD:-16.9%)。仅携带变异体c.85T>C(H2)的单倍型与比值升高相关(P=.004,MD:+8.6%)。
基于我们的数据,DPYD-c.496A>G是5-FU毒性的一个强有力的候选风险等位基因。我们的数据表明DPYD-c.85T>C可能具有保护作用;然而,连锁等位基因c.496A>G和c.1129-5923C>G的有害影响可能会限制其在患者中的这种作用。c.85T>C的可能保护作用以及与c.496A>G和c.1129-5923C>G的连锁不平衡可能阻碍了先前的关联研究,应在未来的临床研究中予以考虑。
