The main active metabolite of tamoxifen is endoxifen, which has high affinity towards the receptor and reaches high plasma concentrations. Endoxifen results from cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP2D6 action. CYP2D6 is subject to genetic polymorphism, with a prevalence of enzyme deficiency of approximately 7% in most European populations. Enzyme deficiency is reliably predicted by genotyping of known CYP2D6 deficiency alleles. Poor metabolizers (homozygote carriers of deficiency alleles) exhibit lower endoxifen plasma concentrations. Retrospective analyses of tamoxifen study data according to CYP2D6 genotypes reveal a poorer oncological outcome for subjects with deficiency alleles in most studies (level 3 evidence). Data from randomized controlled studies (level 1 evidence) on the use of CYP2D6 typing for tamoxifen therapy are lacking. However, CYP2D6 genotyping before initiating tamoxifen therapy and avoidance of tamoxifen in postmenopausal women with a CYP2D6 enzyme deficiency seem warranted. Prescribing information does not list CYP2D6 status as a contraindication for tamoxifen. Pharmacological supression of hot flashes by comedication with CYP2D6 inhibitors (e.g., fluoxetine, paroxetine) must be avoided because such patients will become functional Poor metabolizers with lower endoxifen levels."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1515/JLM.2009.048"],["dc.identifier.isi","000270609700007"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/56569"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Walter De Gruyter & Co"],["dc.relation.issn","0342-3026"],["dc.title","CYP2D6 and tamoxifen: pharmacogenetic reinvention of an established drug?"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Another point of interest was to conduct a comprehensive analysis in tumor and normal intestine tissue from the same patient, searching for somatic hotspots. Material and Methods: In our study, 146 Bulgarian patients with sporadic colorectal cancer and 160 healthy volunteers were enrolled. CYP3A5 polymorphisms were identified using rapid-cycle real-time amplification with allele-specific probes and subsequent melting curve analysis on a LightCycler (TM). Results: The allele frequencies were comparable in both groups: frequency of CYP3A5 2 = 0.3% in patients vs. 0.6% in controls; frequency of CYP3A5 3 = 90.8% in patients vs. 93.1% in controls; in both groups no CYP3A5 3B and CYP3A5 6 variants were detected (p > 0.05).

In total, 15 clinical chemistry parameters were determined at 0 h, 24 h, and 72 h. Samples were stored at 4 degrees C. Statistical differences were evaluated using a generalized estimating equation regression model. Results: Significant differences could be demonstrated for almost every parameter when comparing the separation tubes to the reference collection system.

Genetic and functional properties of these alleles remain unknown. METHODS: We performed analyses of the genetic variability of CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 genes using AmpliChip genotyping in cohorts from two distinct Papua New Guinea (PNG) populations (Kunjingini, n=88; Alexishafen, n=84) focussing on the genetic characterisation of PNG-specific alleles by re-sequencing. RESULTS: Previously unknown CYP2D6 alleles have population frequencies of 24% (Kunjingini) and 12% (Alexishafen). An allele similar to CYP2D6 1, but carrying the 1661G>C substitution, was the second most frequent CYP2D6 allele (20% Kunjingini and 10% Alexishafen population frequency). Sequencing suggests the CYP2D6 1661G>C allele originated from a cross-over between CYP2D6 1 and 2 and thus is predicted to confer fully active CYP2D6 enzyme. Two additional predicted full activity alleles [1661G>C;4180G>C] and 31G>A were found in the Kunjingini cohort (frequencies 3 c/c and 1%, respectively) and a novel predicted reduced activity allele [100C>T;1039C>T] was found in the Alexishafen cohort (frequency 2%). A high frequency of ultra-rapid (15%) and notably low frequencies of intermediate and poor CYP2D6 metabolizers (<5%) and a high frequency of poor CYP2C19 metabolizers were observed in PNG. Both CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 showed heterozygote excess that may be explained by exogamy and recent introduction of alleles by migration that are yet to reach HWE in relatively isolated populations. CONCLUSION: The CYP2D6 1661 allele common in Oceania may be regarded as functionally equivalent to the full activity CYP2D6 1 allele."],["dc.identifier.fs","576822"],["dc.identifier.pmid","21532842"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/6920"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/61291"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.issn","1948-1756"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Universitätsmedizin Göttingen"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.subject.ddc","610"],["dc.title","CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 in Papua New Guinea: High frequency of previously uncharacterized CYP2D6 alleles and heterozygote excess."],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Deficient ITPA activity leads to intracellular accumulation of ITP/dITP and would, under thiopurine therapy, lead to accumulation of unusual thio-inosine metabolites (thio-ITP) with the potential for adverse metabolic effects. ITPA is a promising candidate for a more comprehensive understanding of thiopurine pharmacogenetics. We therefore studied the haplotype structure, haplotype-phenotype association, and promoter function of ITPA in a Western European population. ITPA haplotyping was performed based on haplotype tagging SNPs (selected from HapMap data) in healthy 130 controls. Haplotypes were reconstructed, and the haplotype-phenotype association was assessed by haplotype trend regression. A 1.5 kb upstream region and stepwise deletions thereof were tested for promoter activity in reporter gene assays in HcpG2 and CCRF-CEM cells. Transcription factor binding (Sp1, Sp3)to the proximal promoter region was studied by chromatin immunoprecipitation. Among haplotypes with a frequency greater than 0.01, we did not find any new low-activity haplotypes besides those carrying 94C>A or IVS2 + 21A>C variants. Two promoter SNPs had no influence on promoter activity. An approximately 200 bp sized GC-rich proximal promoter region was sufficient to fully drive reporter gene activity. Chromatin immunoprecipitation showed binding of Sp I and Sp3 transcription factors to this region. Only the two haplotypes carrying 94C>A or IVS2 + 21A>C were associated with reduced enzyme activity. The gene promoter is associated with a CpG island and driven by Sp-family transcription factors.

METHODS: Tregs percentages obtained by both flow cytometry and qPCR methods in 35 adult IBD patients, 18 out of them with Crohn's disease (CD) and 17 with ulcerative colitis (UC) were compared to each other as well as to scores on two IBD activity questionnaires using the Harvey Bradshaw Index (HBI) for CD patients and the Simple Colitis Clinical Activity Index (SCCAI) for UC patients. The Treg percentages by flow cytometry were defined as CD4(+)CD25(high)CD127(low)FOXP3(+) cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, whereas the Treg percentages by qPCR method were determined as FOXP3 promoter demethylation in genomic DNA. RESULTS: We found an average of 1.56% +/- 0.78% Tregs by using flow cytometry, compared to 1.07% +/- 0.53% Tregs by using qPCR in adult IBD patients. There were no significant correlations between either the percentages of Tregs measured by flow cytometry or qPCR and the HBI or SCCAI questionnaire scores in CD or UC patients, respectively. In addition, there was no correlation between Treg percentages measured by qPCR and those measured by flow cytometry (r = -0.06, P = 0.73; Spearman Rho). These data suggest that, either Treg-related immune function or the clinical scores in these IBD patients did not accurately reflect actual disease activity. Until the cause(s) for these differences are more clearly defined, the results suggest caution in interpreting studies of Tregs in various inflammatory disorders.
