Abstract
Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) gene as well as several other clinical factors can contribute to the elevation of liver function test values in tuberculosis (TB) patients receiving antitubercular therapy (ATT).
Research design and methods: A prospective study involving dynamic monitoring of the liver function tests among 130 TB patients from baseline to 98 days post ATT initiation was undertaken to assess the influence of pharmacogenomic and clinical variables on the elevation of liver function test values. Genomic DNA was extracted from serum samples for the assessment of NAT2 SNPs. Further, within this study population, we conducted a case control study to identify the odds of developing ATT-induced drug-induced liver injury (DILI) based on NAT2 SNPs, genotype and phenotype, and clinical variables.
Results: NAT2 slow acetylators had higher mean [90%CI] liver function test values for 8-28 days post ATT and higher odds of developing DILI (OR: 2.73, 90%CI: 1.05-7.09) than intermediate acetylators/rapid acetylators.
Conclusion: The current study findings provide evidence for closer monitoring among TB patients with specific NAT2 SNPs, genotype and phenotype, and clinical variables, particularly between the period of more than a week to one-month post ATT initiation for better treatment outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Advances in drug development technologies are yielding innovative new therapies, from potentially lifesaving medicines to lifestyle products. In recent years, however, the cost of developing new drugs has soared, and concerns over drug resistance and pharmacoeconomics have come to the fore. Adverse reactions experienced at the clinical trial level serve as a constant reminder of the importance of rigorous safety and toxicity testing. Furthermore the advent of pharmacogenomics and ‘individualized’ approaches to therapy will demand a fresh approach to drug evaluation and healthcare delivery.
Clinical Pharmacology provides an essential role in integrating the expertise of all of the specialists and players who are active in meeting such challenges in modern biomedical practice.
