Abstract
Purpose: This work was designed to identify the pharmacogenetic profile of Brazilian psychiatric patients receiving psychoactive drug treatment according to ethnicity. Methods: Based on the GnTech® database, this cross-sectional study analyzed data from self-reported sociodemographic and genetic results from the next-generation sequencing panel composed of 26 pharmacogenes from 359 psychotropic drug users. Results: Variant frequencies of multiple pharmacogenes presented differences between ethnicities (CYP3A5, CYP2D6, CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP3A4, UGT1A4, UGT2B15, ABCB1 rs1045642, ADRA2A rs1800544, COMT rs4680, GRIK4 rs1954787, GSK3B rs334558, GSK3B rs6438552, HTR1A rs6295, HTR2A rs7997012, HTR2C rs1414334, MTHFR rs1801131, OPRM1 rs1799971 and 5-HTTLPR), endorsing the necessity of individual-level analyses in drug treatment. Conclusion: A discussion of pharmacogenomic test implementation in psychiatric clinical practice is needed to improve treatment choices, especially in Brazil, a multiethnic country.

Opposite Response to Vitamin K Antagonists: A Report of Two Cases and Systematic Review of Literature. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12101578. [PMID: 36294717 PMCID: PMC9605490 DOI: 10.3390/jpm12101578] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2022] [Revised: 09/18/2022] [Accepted: 09/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) are used in the prophylaxis and treatment of thromboembolic disorders. Despite a high efficacy, their narrow therapeutic window and high response variability hamper their management. Several patients experience fluctuations in dose−response and are at increased risk of over- or under-anticoagulation. Therefore, it is essential to monitor the prothrombin time/international normalized ratio to determine the so-called stable dose and to adjust the dosage accordingly. Three polymorphisms, CYP2C9∗2, CYP2C9∗3 and VKORC1-1639G>A, are associated with increased sensitivity to VKAs. Other polymorphisms are associated with a request for a higher dose and VKA resistance. We described the clinical cases of two patients who were referred to the Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacogenetics Unit of the University Hospital of Salerno for pharmacological counseling. One of them showed hypersensitivity and the other one was resistant to VKAs. A systematic review was performed to identify randomized clinical trials investigating the impact of pharmacogenetic testing on increased sensitivity and resistance to VKAs. Although international guidelines are available and information on the genotype-guided dosing approach has been included in VKA drug labels, VKA pharmacogenetic testing is not commonly required. The clinical cases and the results of the systematically reviewed RCTs demonstrate that the pharmacogenetic-based VKA dosing model represents a valuable resource for reducing VKA-associated adverse events.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to analyse the effects of demographic factors, clinical factors, and genetic polymorphisms of related gene loci on warfarin bleeding-related complications in the Han population. METHODS Retrospective medical record review. The study cases were patients treated at the Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from March 2016 to February 2020, and all received regular warfarin anticoagulation treatment for at least 3 months, and were provided the initial standard dose and stable dose of warfarin. RESULTS Data were collected from 451 qualifying patients (47% male, 53% female). The average age of patients was 53.8 ± 12.2 years, and the average body surface area was 1.6 ± 0.18 m2. There were nine major bleeding events and 141 minor bleeding events. In the univariate logistic analysis, the p-value of the four factors body weight, body surface area (BSA), amiodarone, and rs429358 was < 0.10. However, the final p-values for amiodarone and rs429358 were < 0.05 in the multifactorial logistic analysis. CONCLUSIONS The ApoE (rs429358) gene polymorphism influences bleeding complications in Chinese Han patients treated with warfarin. The sample size of this study was relatively small; hence an international study with a larger sample size is needed in the future.

Abstract
Anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs effectively prevent thrombotic events in patients with cardiovascular diseases, ischemic stroke, peripheral vascular diseases, and other thromboembolic diseases. However, genetic and non-genetic factors affect the response to antithrombotic therapy and can increase the risk of adverse events. This narrative review discusses pharmacogenomic studies on antithrombotic drugs commonly prescribed in Brazil. Multiple Brazilian studies assessed the impact of pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) gene variants on warfarin response. The reduced function alleles CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3, and VKORC1 rs9923231 (c.-1639G>A) are associated with increased sensitivity to warfarin and a low dose requirement to prevent bleeding episodes, whereas CYP4F2 rs2108622 (p.Val433Met) carriers have higher dose requirements (warfarin resistance). These deleterious variants and non-genetic factors (age, gender, body weight, co-administered drugs, food interactions, and others) account for up to 63% of the warfarin dose variability. Few pharmacogenomics studies have explored antiplatelet drugs in Brazilian cohorts, finding associations between CYP2C19*2, PON1 rs662 and ABCC3 rs757421 genotypes and platelet responsiveness or clopidogrel PK in subjects with coronary artery disease (CAD) or acute coronary syndrome (ACS), whereas ITGB3 contributes to aspirin PK but not platelet responsiveness in diabetic patients. Brazilian guidelines on anticoagulants and antiplatelets recommend the use of a platelet aggregation test or genotyping only in selected cases of ACS subjects without ST-segment elevation taking clopidogrel, and also suggest CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotyping before starting warfarin therapy to assess the risk of bleeding episodes or warfarin resistance.

Abstract
We searched PubMed entries and the Lattes database of Brazilian Pharmacogenetics Network investigators, for pharmacogenetic/genomic (PGx) studies in the Brazilian population, focusing on the drugs and genes included in the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) guidelines. Warfarin was the most extensively studied drug in a PGx context: a genomewide association study targeting warfarin stable dose identified significant signals in VKORC1 and CYP2C9, several PGx dosing algorithms were developed based on these and other genes, and the implications of population admixture on extrapolation of dosing recommendations in the CPIC guidelines were examined. A study in renal transplanted patients disclosed association of CYP3A5*6 and CYP3A5*7 with tacrolimus dosing, which led to addition of these variants to CYP3A5*3 in the CPIC tacrolimus guideline. Studies verified predisposition of HIV-positive carriers of UGT1A1*28 to severe atazanavir-induced hyperbilirubinaemia, intolerance to 5-fluorouracyl in gastrointestinal cancer patients with deleterious DPYD variants, failure of HCV-infected carriers of IFNL3 rs12979860 to obtain a sustained viral response to PEG-IFN-α, and hypersensitivity reactions to abacavir in HIV-positive carriers of HLA-B*57:01. No prospective analyses of drug therapy outcomes or cost-effectiveness assessments of PGx-guided therapy were found. In conclusion, the limited adoption of PGx-informed drug prescription in Brazil reflects combination of recognized barriers to PGx implementation worldwide plus factors specific to the Brazilian population. The latter include rarity/absence of genetic variants on which international PGx guidelines are based (eg HLA-B*15.02 for phenytoin and carbamazepine) and the caveat of extrapolating to the admixed Brazilian population, guidelines based on categorical variables, such as continental ancestry (eg warfarin guidelines), "race" or ethnicity.
