Abstract
Introduction
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) enhance the immune system's ability to target and destroy cancer cells, but can also trigger immune-related adverse events (irAEs), such as acute kidney injury (ICI-AKI), complicating patient management. Limited knowledge of genetic predispositions to ICI-AKI highlights the need for genomic studies to improve therapeutic strategies.
Objective
To identify genetic predispositions for ICI-AKI using large-scale real-world data.
Methods
A systematic literature search led to 14 candidate variants related to irAEs. We performed a candidate variant association study with these variants using the All of Us cohort. An ICI-treated cohort and a general cohort were established to evaluate ICI-AKI risk. Logistic regression, adjusted for sex, evaluated the impact of each candidate genotype, separately for self-reported and ancestry-estimated race. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis assessed genetic effects on AKI-free survival.
Results
The ICI cohort (n = 414) showed a one-year AKI incidence rate of 23.2 %, significantly higher than the general cohort (6.5 %, n = 213,282). The rs16957301 variant (chr13:100324308, T > C) in the PCCA gene was a significant risk genotype for ICI-AKI among self-reported White (Beta=0.93, CI: 0.32 – 1.54, ORs= 2.53, Bonferroni-corrected P-value=0.047) and ancestry estimated Europeans (Beta = 0.94, CI: 0.31 – 1.57, ORs= 2.56, Bonferroni-corrected P-value=0.044). Self-reported White with the rs16957301 risk genotypes (TC/CC) developed AKI significantly earlier (3.6 months) compared to the reference genotype (TT, 7.0 months, log-rank P = 0.04). Consistent results were found in ancestry-estimated Europeans. This variant did not present significant AKI risks in the general cohort (Beta: −0.008–0.035, FDR: 0.75–0.99).
Conclusion
Our findings suggest that rs16957301 in PCCA may serve as an ICI-AKI risk marker in Caucasians. Further studies are needed to validate this association and explore risks in other populations.
