چکیده

Methotrexate (MTX) is the most used drug in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment. However, it shows variability in clinical response, which is explained by an association with genetic polymorphisms. This study aimed to elucidate the role of the two gene polymorphism C677T and A1298C of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) in response to MTX in Algerian RA patients. Study included 54 early RA patient treated with MTX for one year. MTX efficiency and toxicity were evaluated at 6 and 12 months respectively and the two gene polymorphisms were genotyped. No association was found between A1298C polymorphism and MTX toxicity. However, T allele of the C677T polymorphism was associated with the occurrence of MTX adverse effects (p = 0,019, OR: 3,63, 95% CI [1,12 - 12,80]). No association was found between C677T polymorphism and MTX efficiency, while A allele of the A1298C polymorphism was associated with good and moderate response (p = 0,02, OR = 3,28, 95% CI: [1,11- 9,42]). The study of RA biological markers kinetics showed that MTX did not affect antibodies rate unlike inflammatory markers. Our study suggests that MTHFR C677T and A1298C genotyping are associated to MTX toxicity and efficiency, respectively, in RA patients. This offers new perspectives in the personalization of RA treatment in Algeria.

Lack of association between MTHFR gene polymorphisms and response to methotrexate treatment in Pakistani patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphisms have been reported to be associated with response to methotrexate (MTX) in certain populations of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study aims at investigating any relationship of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in MTHFR gene, C677T and A1298C with response to therapy with MTX in Pakistani RA patients. Allelic...
