Responses to antitubercular drugs like isoniazid (INH) are influenced by genetic polymorphisms in metabolizing enzymes and transporters. This study is aimed at analyzing genetic polymorphisms of NAT2, CYP2E1, and GSTM1 genes in Saudi TB patients, monitoring INH drug levels, and exploring correlations between these genetic variations, drug levels, hepatotoxicity incidence, and clinical outcomes. This prospective cohort design was conducted at King Abdul-Aziz University Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It followed 50 TB patients undergoing first-line anti-TB treatment for 6 months. Genotyping and INH serum concentration measurements were conducted. The mean INH plasma drug levels measured in 30 patients were 2.86 ± 2.80. The presence or absence of the GSTM1 does not statistically affect the plasma INH level between the TB patients with no significant association between GSTM1 and clinical response, while high plasma concentration of INH was significantly associated with improved clinical response. The present study demonstrated no NAT2 and CYP2E1 gene variations in Saudi TB patients but has identified a GSTM1 variant in 68% of patients. The presence or absence of the GSTM1 gene variant appears to not affect INH drug level or clinical outcomes. Clinicians should consider individualized TB treatment based on genetic and demographic factors.
对异烟肼(INH)等抗结核药物的反应受代谢酶和转运蛋白基因多态性的影响。本研究旨在分析沙特结核病患者中NAT2、CYP2E1和GSTM1基因的多态性,监测INH药物水平,并探索这些基因变异、药物水平、肝毒性发生率和临床结果之间的相关性。这项前瞻性队列设计在沙特阿拉伯吉达的阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王大学医院进行。对50例接受一线抗结核治疗6个月的结核病患者进行了随访。进行了基因分型和INH血清浓度测量。30例患者测得的INH血浆药物平均水平为2.86±2.80。GSTM1的存在与否对结核病患者的血浆INH水平没有统计学影响,GSTM1与临床反应之间无显著关联,而INH的高血浆浓度与改善的临床反应显著相关。本研究表明沙特结核病患者中不存在NAT2和CYP2E1基因变异,但在68%的患者中发现了GSTM1变异。GSTM1基因变异的存在与否似乎不影响INH药物水平或临床结果。临床医生应根据遗传和人口统计学因素考虑个体化的结核病治疗。
