RESUMO
A recently discovered haplotype-CYP2C:TG-determines the ultrarapid metabolism of several CYP2C19 substrates. The platelet inhibitor clopidogrel requires CYP2C19-mediated activation: the risk of ischemic events is increased in patients with a poor (PM) or intermediate (IM) CYP2C19 metabolizer phenotype (vs. normal, NM; rapid, RM; or ultrarapid, UM). We investigated whether the CYP2C:TG haplotype affected efficacy/bleeding risk in clopidogrel-treated patients. Adults (n = 283) treated with clopidogrel over 3-6 months were classified by CYP2C19 phenotype based on the CYP2C19*2*17 genotype, and based on the CYP2C19/CYP2C cluster genotype, and regarding carriage of the CYP2:TG haplotype, and were balanced on a number of covariates across the levels of phenotypes/haplotype carriage. Overall, 45 (15.9%) patients experienced ischemic events, and 49 (17.3%) experienced bleedings. By either classification, the incidence of ischemic events was similarly numerically higher in PM/IM patients (21.6%, 21.8%, respectively) than in mutually similar NM, RM, and UM patients (13.2-14.8%), whereas the incidence of bleeding events was numerically lower (13.1% vs. 16.6-20.5%). The incidence of ischemic events was similar in CYP2C:TG carries and non-carries (14.1% vs. 16.1%), whereas the incidence of bleedings appeared mildly lower in the former (14.9% vs. 20.1%). We observed no signal to suggest a major effect of the CYP2C19/CYP2C cluster genotype or CYP2C:TG haplotype on the clinical efficacy/safety of clopidogrel.

Introduction: Considering conflicting previous reports, we aimed to evaluate whether the common ABCB1 polymorphisms (rs1128503, rs2032582, rs1045642, rs4148738) affected the risk of bleeding in rivaroxaban-treated patients. Materials and methods: We report preliminary data from a larger nested case-control study. Consecutive adults started on rivaroxaban for any indication requiring > 6 months of treatment were followed-up to one year. Patients who experienced major or non-major clinically relevant bleeding during the initial 6 months were considered cases, whereas subjects free of bleeding over > 6 months were controls. The polymorphisms of interest (rs1128503, rs2032582, rs1045642, rs4148738) were in a strong linkage disequilibrium, hence patients were classified regarding the "load" of variant alleles: 0-2, 3-5 or 6-8. The three subsets were balanced regarding a range of demographic, comorbidity, comedication and genetic characteristics. A logistic model was fitted to probability of bleeding. Results: There were 60 cases and 220 controls. Raw proportions of cases were similar across the subsets with increasing number of ABCB1 variant alleles (0-2, N = 85; 3-6, N = 133; 6-8, N = 62): 22.4%, 21.8%, and 19.4%, respectively. Fully adjusted probabilities of bleeding were also similar across the subsets: 22.9%, 27.5% and 17.7%, respectively. No trend was observed (linear, t = -0.63, df = 273, P = 0.529; quadratic, t = -1.10, df = 273, P = 0.272). Of the 15 identified haplotypes, the completely variant (c.1236T_c.2677T(A)_c.3435T_c.2482-2236A) (40.7%) and completely wild-type (C_G_C_G) (39.5%) haplotypes prevailed, and had a closely similar prevalence of cases: 21.1% vs. 23.1%, respectively. Conclusions: The evaluated common ABCB1 polymorphisms do not seem to affect the risk of early bleeding in patients started on rivaroxaban.

Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants' interindividual trough concentration variability affects efficacy and safety, especially in bleeding events. Rivaroxaban is metabolised via CYP3A4/5-, CYP2J2-, and CYP-independent mechanisms and is a substrate of two transporter proteins: ABCB1 (MDR1, P-glycoprotein) and ABCG2 (BCRP; breast-cancer-resistance protein). The polymorphisms of these genes may possibly affect the pharmacokinetics of rivaroxaban and, consequently, its safety profile. Rivaroxaban variability may be associated with age, liver and kidney function, concomitant illness and therapy, and pharmacogenetic predisposition. This case series is the first, to our knowledge, that presents multiple risk factors for rivaroxaban-related bleeding (RRB) including age, renal function, concomitant diseases, concomitant treatment, and pharmacogenetic data. It presents patients with RRB, along with their complete clinical and pharmacogenetic data, as well as an evaluation of possible risk factors for RRB. Thirteen patients were carriers of ABCB1, ABCG2, CYP2J2, and/or CYP3A4/5 gene polymorphisms. Possible drug-drug interactions with increased bleeding risk were identified in nine patients. Six patients had eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Our data suggest a possible role of multiple factors and their interactions in predicting RRB; however, they also indicate the need for further comprehensive multidisciplinary research to enable safer use of this product based on a personalised approach.
RESUMO
The present study aimed to assess the association of 16 polymorphisms in genes encoding prothrombotic and cardiovascular risk factors with COVID-19 disease severity: FV G1691A, FV H1299R, FII G20210A, MTHFR C677T, MTHFR A1298, factor XIII V34L, PAI-1 4G/5G, EPCR haplotypes (A1/A2/A3), eNOS -786 T > C, eNOS G894T, LTA C804A, ACE I/D, ITGB3 PIA1/A2, ITGA2B Baka/b, ß-Fbg -455 G > A and ApoB R3500Q. The study included 30 patients with severe COVID-19 and 49 non-severe COVID-19 patients. All studied polymorphisms except ITGA2B Baka/b were determined using multilocus genotyping assays CVD StripAssays (ViennaLab Diagnostics), while ITGA2B was genotyped using a real-time PCR method based on TaqMan technology. A higher frequency of carriers of at least one ITGB3 PIA2 allele was found in severe COVID-19 patients (p = 0.009). The distribution of genotypes was significantly different for ß-Fbg -455 G > A (p = 0.042), with only three homozygous AA genotypes found among severe COVID-19 patients. The association with an increased risk for severe COVID-19 was found for ITGB3, with carriers of at least one ITGB3 PIA2 allele having a 3.5-fold greater risk of severe COVID-19 (p = 0.011). Genotype distribution differences were obtained for the combinations of FV H1299R and FXIII V34L (p = 0.026), ITGB3 PIA1/A2 and ITGA2B Baka/b (p = 0.024), and ACE I/D and PAI-1 4G/5G (p = 0.046). ITGB3 polymorphism emerged as an independent risk factor for severe COVID-19 and homozygosity for ß-Fbg -455 G > A mutation could contribute to disease severity. The combined effect of polymorphisms in genes encoding prothrombotic and cardiovascular risk factors could further contribute to disease severity.

Uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase-2B7 (UGT2B7), enzyme responsible for the elimination of a number of xenobiotics through glucuronidation, is expressed in the gut, kidneys, intestines, and brain. However, data on the frequency of UGT2B7 polymorphisms in the Croatian population are limited. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of the UGT2B7 c.-161C>T (rs7668258) polymorphism in the Croatian population and to compare it with reported frequencies in other populations. This polymorphism is in complete linkage disequilibrium with the UGT2B7 c.802C>T (UGT2B7*2, rs7439366) variant, which is important in clinical medicine. The study reports data of 501 participants from University Hospital Centre Zagreb. All data were collected and analysed retrospectively. Genotyping was performed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using the TaqMan® Drug Metabolism Genotyping Assay for UGT2B7 c.-161C>T (rs7668258). We found that 120 (23.95 %) participants were carriers of the UGT2B7 c.-161CC genotype and 255 (50.9 %) were heterozygous carriers (UGT2B7 c.-161CT), while 126 (25.15 %) were homozygous carriers of the variant allele (UGT2B7 c.-161TT). The frequency of the variant UGT2B7 c.-161C>T allele in this study was T=0.506. The frequency of the UGT2B7 c.-161C>T allelic variants and genotypes in the Croatian population is similar to other European populations.
