Identification of pharmacogenetic effects on antiretroviral therapy (ART) has become an important milestone to reach in the advancement of personalised treatment for HIV-positive patients. The therapy schemes are accompanied by multiple side effects. Therapy effectiveness and adverse reactions can be dictated by individual genetic predisposition factors, which should be taken into account for an optimal prescription. Some genetic markers (HLA-B*57:01 and UGT1A1*28), were already proven to improve discontinuation rates, and efforts are allocated to expand the range of clinically-relevant genetic tests.Objective. In this review, an updated summary of genetic polymorphisms and their effects defining patients’ tolerability to ART is presented. The aim of this research is to assess single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) present in the genes that encode proteins involved in ART metabolism and transport. This review will be used to develop a PCR-based testing methodology for the detection and confirmation of risk alleles in the Caucasian population.Materials and methods. Data from 46 original research papers and reviews was analysed. Allele frequencies of the most relevant polymorphisms were checked against the data for European population.Results. As an outcome of this review, a few most promising SNPs were selected for future research. Firstly, ABCC4 rs1751034 and rs3742106 and ABCC10 rs9349256 and rs2125739 were associated with an increased risk of renal impairment, higher plasma concentration, and toxicity when treated with tenofovir. Parallel analysis of ABCC4 and ABCC10 SNP effects on renal impairment together with CYP24A1 rs2248359 that was recently reported as a potential renal toxicity marker might be more informative. Secondly, CYP2B6 rs3745274 that was associated with an increased efavirenz plasma concentration, and increased risk of liver and CNS toxicity should be evaluated. SNPs in CYP2B6, CYP2A6 (rs28399433), and CYP3A4 (rs4646437) should be evaluated in parallel since possession of all three variants might put patients at a much higher risk.Conclusion. Identified alleles could become new markers used in drug prescription protocols if significant effect in Caucasian population will be found. The most relevant SNPs should be tested in in supporting future studies to evaluate the significance for patients with HIV in Russia.","PeriodicalId":37381,"journal":{"name":"HIV Infection and Immunosuppressive Disorders","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44399749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the main factors affecting TB burden is HIV progression and, in turn, PLWH predominantly die of TB.The study purpose was to identify high risk regions of HIV, HIV/TB coinfection in NWFD of Russia between years of 2007 to 2018.Materials and methods. K-means method was applied to identify HIV, HIV/TB incidence, prevalence and mortality rates, as well as share of heterosexual HIV transmission route clusters in 10 regions of NWFD. The need data were extracted from relevant forms of federal statistical observation between 2007 to 2018. NAO was excluded from cluster analysis due to absence of HIV/TB coinfection cases in study period. For holistic understanding of HIV/TB coinfection trends, TB incidence, prevalence and mortality rates were estimated too without including them in cluster analysis.Results. Along with significant reduce in TB cases there was increase in HIV case data in most regions, especially in Arkhangelsk oblast where HIV incidence raised by 617.8% in period analyzed. Meanwhile Kaliningrad oblast became the only region where HIV incidence (–21.5%) and mortality (–65.6%), also HIV/TB incidence (–55.0%) is failed in 2007–2018. Heterosexual HIV transmission risk was high in almost all regions, especially in NAO (100.0%), Pskov (89.2%), Novgorod (78.8%) oblasts. K-means method detected the highest HIV spread in Arkhangelsk oblast (first cluster), lowest — in Kaliningrad, Leningrad, Murmansk oblasts and St. Petersburg (third cluster). Other regions with intermediate HIV case data formed second cluster. HIV/TB coinfection most rapidly spreads in Arkhangelsk, Pskov and Novgorod oblasts (first cluster), most slowly — in Kaliningrad, Leningrad oblasts and in St. Petersburg (third cluster). In other regions, spread of HIV/TB coinfection has average rate, forming second intermediate cluster.Conclusion. Along with significant improvement in TB epidemic, spread of HIV and HIV/TB coinfection in regions of NWFD considered as uneven. In regions with high concentration of HIV cases, HIV and HIV/TB coinfection rates are slowed down. Conversely, highest rates of HIV cases, as well as of HIV/TB coinfection case data, are observed in regions with low HIV accumulation, indicating the need to strengthen TB measures in PLWH in regions with a low spread of HIV.

Description of clinical forms of chronic HCV infection in the observed patients, clarifications of options and causes of virological failures of primary interferon-free therapy (DAAT/1) and the results of repeated interferon-free treatment (DAAT/2).Materials and methods. 8 patients with chronic RNA HCV viremia (subtypes 1b+/–1a and 3а/3ab) were prospectively observed who suffered a virological failure of primary interferon-free therapy with original inhibitors in the form of relapse of RNA HCV viremia and aviremic low-level replication RNA HCV in PBMCs (peripheral mononuclears), but then achieved HCV eradication with a repeated course of interferon-free therapy.Results. Two variants of virological failures of primary interferon-free therapy were noted — relapse of RNA HCV viremia and aviremic low-level replication of RNA HCV in PBMCs. A number of unfavorable prognosis signs (individual clinical and laboratory syndromes and laboratory parameters) were revealed, which were observed in most patients who did not achieve HCV eradication using primary interferon-free therapy with antiviral drugs: HCV-associated syndromes of low-grade systemic inflammation (LGSI), benign lymphoproliferation and autoantibody production, a high level viral load of HCV RNA viral load in blood plasma, HBV-coinfection without HBsAg and cirrhosis of the liver in the outcome of chronic hepatitis C. The target result of repeated interferon-free therapy, confirmed by the sustainable virological response after 12 weeks after the end of the treatment (SVR12), was achieved in all «losers» of primary interferon-free therapy.Conclusion. The unfavorable prognostic signs identified in the majority of «losers» of primary interferon-free therapy in the form of individual clinical and laboratory syndromes and laboratory parameters may be associated with potential virological inefficiency of therapy. Based on logistic regression analysis, the value of each of the identified features for predicting different outcomes of primary interferon-free therapy in a large group of patients with HCV is shown.

There was retrospective analysis of 1440 cases of HIV-infected admission in ICU SBHI «ICH № 2» DZM in 2018–2020. The number of CD4+ cells were estimated in 1185 patients, viral load (VL) is defined in 1173 patients.Statistical analysis is held, using program StatTech v. 2.6.2 (developer — LLC «Statech», Russia).Results. 18,5% of patients had 1 secondary disease, 75,9% were diagnosed a combination of 2 and more various lesions. 275 different combinations of secondary diseases are recorded: from 50 combinations of 2 secondary lesions to 4 combinations of 7 nosological units.
