ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the association between polymorphisms in the SLC22A2 gene and the hematological toxicity of oxaliplatin in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients receiving chemotherapy. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
A total of 81 patients with colon or rectal cancer were included in the study. The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs3127573, rs316019, and rs1869641 of the SLC22A2 gene were selected for genotyping using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequence analysis. Oxaliplatin-associated hematological toxicities were evaluated using the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, Version 5.0).RESULTS:
The rs1869641 genotype was significantly associated with the occurrence of thrombocytopenia (p = 0.047), whereas the rs316019 genotype was significantly associated with severity of leucopenia and neutropenia (p = 0.004 and 0.001, respectively). The rs3127573 genotype was not associated with hematological toxicities arising during chemotherapy with oxaliplatin.CONCLUSION:
It is shown here, for the first time, that the rs316019 gene variant of the SLC22A2 gene may be associated with the hematological toxicity of oxaliplatin. Patients with genotype CA/AA of rs316019 are more likely to develop serious hematological adverse effects.
