Abstract
Background: Immunomodulators are important for management of autoimmune diseases and hematological malignancies. Significant inter-individual variation in drug response/reactions exists due to genetic polymorphisms. We describe frequency of identified genetic polymorphisms among Sri Lankans.
Methods: Sri Lankan data were obtained from an anonymized database of 670 participants. Data on variants and global distribution of Minor Allele frequency (MAF) of other populations (South Asian, Ashkenazi-Jewish, East-Asian, European-Finnish, European-non-Finnish, Latino-American, African/African-American) were obtained from pharmGKB online database.
Results: SLC19A1 (rs1051266) variant had a MAF (95% CI) of 63.3% (60.7-65.9). Other common variants included FCGR3A (rs396991), MTHFR (rs1801133), ITPA (rs1127354), CYP2C9*3 (rs1057910) and NUD15*3 (rs116855232), with MAFs of 35.3% (32.7-37.9), 12.2% (10.4-13.9), 10.9% (9.2-12.6), 9.8% (8.2-11.4), 8.3% (6.8-9.8) respectively. Less commonly present variants included CYP2C9*2 (rs1799853) (2.5%[1.7-3.4]), TPMT*3C (rs1142345) (1.9%[1.1-2.6]), TPMT*3B (rs1800460) (0.2%[0-0.5]), CYP3A5*6 (rs10264272) (0.2%[0-0.4]) and CYP3A4*18 (rs28371759) (0.1%[0-0.2]). The SLC19A1 (rs1051266), NUD15*3 (rs116855232), CYP2C9*3 (rs1057910), FCGR3A (rs396991), and ITPA (rs1127354) showed significantly higher frequencies in Sri Lankans compared to many other populations, exceptions include FCGR3A in Ashkenazi-Jewish and ITPA in East-Asians. Conversely, MTHFR (rs1801133), TPMT*3B (rs1800460), and CYP2C9*2 (rs1799853) were significantly less prevalent among Sri Lankans than in many other populations. Sri Lankans exhibited lower prevalence of TPMT*3C (rs1142345) compared to European-non-Finnish, Latino-Americans, and African/African-Americans; CYP3A4*18 (rs28371759) compared to East-Asians; and CYP3A5*6 (rs10264272) compared to African/African-Americans and Latino-Americans.
Conclusion: Sri Lankans exhibit higher frequencies in variants reducing methotrexate efficacy (SLC19A1), increasing azathioprine myelotoxicity (NUDT15), and lower frequencies in variants linked to increased azathioprine toxicity (TPMT*3B, TPMT*3C), reduced tacrolimus efficacy (CYP3A4*18), and methotrexate toxicity risk (MTHFR). Beneficial variants enhancing rituximab efficacy (FCGR3A) are more prevalent, while those reducing tacrolimus dosage (CYP3A5*6) are less common. This highlights need for targeted medication strategies to improve treatment outcomes.
