ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
No information is currently available on genetic determinants of short-term response to drug withdrawal in medication overuse headache (MOH). In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the role of 14 polymorphisms in 8 candidate genes potentially relevant for drug addiction (OPRM1, DRD2, DBH, COMT, BDNF, SLC6A4, 5HT2A, and SLC1A2) as predictors for detoxification outcome of MOH patients at 2 months of follow-up.METHODS:
Genotyping was conducted by PCR, PCR-RFLP analysis, or real-time PCR allelic discrimination assay on genomic DNA extracted from peripheral blood. The association between gene variants and risk of unsuccessful detoxification was evaluated by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.RESULTS:
One hundred and eight MOH patients with effective drug withdrawal therapy and 65 MOH patients with unsuccessful detoxification were available for the analysis. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, triptan overuse (odds ratio (OR) 0.271, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.083-0.890, P = 0.031) and TT genotype carriage of DRD2 NcoI (OR 0.115, 95% CI 0.014-0.982, P = 0.048) emerged as independent predictors for unsuccessful detoxification. In addition, carriers of at least four of the six top-ranked gene variants (P < 0.10) were found at higher odds for unsuccessful detoxification than patients with ≤3 high-risk genotypes (OR 3.40, 95% CI 1.65-7.01, P = 0.001).CONCLUSION:
This exploratory study suggests that DRD2 NcoI may be a genetic determinant of detoxification outcome in MOH patients. Our findings also show that an approach based on the combination of multiple genetic markers could be clinically useful for identification of MOH patients at higher risk for unsuccessful detoxification.
