چکیده

INTRODUCTION The UGT1A1*28 (rs8175347) polymorphism is associated with hyperbilirubinemia. The presence of 6 TA-repeats in the UGT1A1 gene promoter region corresponds to normal UGT1TA1 activity. A detection of 7 TA-repeats in hetero- or homozygous individuals [(TA)6/(TA)7 and (TA)7/(TA)7] is associated with lower UGT1TA1 activity, which may eventually result in the development of Gilbert syndrome and/or modified individual response to drugs metabolized by this enzyme. ATV contributes to the decreased levels of UGT1A1, which may lead to elevations of indirect bilirubin, jaundice and even to therapy discontinuation. We evaluated the prevalence of the UGT1A1*28 among HIV-infected patients and the dependence of the frequency and severity of AE during ATV treatment on individual genetic characteristics. MATERIALS AND METHODS 47 HIV-infected patients was screen for UGT1A1 genotype and the presence of UGT1A1*28. All patients received ATV in the HAART regimen for 48 weeks. Changes in the total, direct and indirect bilirubin, ALT, AST, GGT and jaundice were evaluated. Statistical analysis was performed using Microsoft Office Excel for Windows XP Professional 2007 and Biostat. RESULTS All patients were followed up in the AIDS Center (males 72.3%, median age 33 years, median CD4+ count-282 cells/µl (19.5%)). HBV/HCV was in 36.2% patients. Ten patients had risk factors that could affect bilirubin turnover (chronic cholecystitis, biliary dyskinesia, etc.). Genotype (TA)6/(TA)6 was found in 42.6% patients, (TA)6/(TA)7-42.6% and (TA)7/(TA)7-14.9%. Overall prevalence of UGT1A1*28 was 57.4%, and homozygous allele frequency was 14.9%. G3/4 of indirect bilirubin were detected in 36.2% patients [(TA)6/(TA)6 in 10-20%, (TA)6/(TA)7-25-40%, (TA)7/(TA)7-72-86%], and significant jaundice in 10.6% [80% with (TA)7/(TA)7]. The OR for hyperbilirubinemia>40 µmol/L in patients with heterozygous UGT1A1*28 was increased 3 times over patients without this allele (OR 3.07, 95% CI 1.54-4.6) and 34 times as compared with homozygotes (OR 33.9, 95% CI 31.45-36.35). The presence of additional risk factors increased the probability of G3/4 hyperbilirubinemia. No significant changes in the ALT, AST, and GGT levels were observed. CONCLUSIONS The risk of severe hyperbilirubinemia during ATV treatment is minimal for patients without UGT1A1*28 and no more than one additional risk factor and for patients with UGT1A1*28 and no additional risk factors; patients with homozygous genotype UGT1A1*28 are at the highest risk.

Short communication: UGT1A1*28 variant allele is a predictor of severe hyperbilirubinemia in HIV-infected patients on HAART in southern Brazil.

Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has increased the survival of HIV-infected patients. However, adverse effects play a major role in adherence to HAART. Some protease inhibitors (mainly atazanavir and indinavir) act as inhibitors of uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT1A1), the enzyme responsible for hepatic conjugation of bilirubin. Variations in the promoter region of t...

High prevalence of the UGT1A1*28 variant in HIV-infected individuals in Greece

Hyperbilirubinaemia with or without jaundice is one of the side effects of atazanavir boosted with low-dose ritonavir (ATV/rit) related to the drug plasma levels, as a result of its metabolism by UGT1A1 - uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyl transferase. Genotyping for UGT1A1*28 before initiation of antiretroviral therapy containing atazanavir may aid in identifying individuals at risk of hyperbili...

Hyperbilirubinemia is frequently observed in Caucasian HIV patients treated with atazanavir. UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 polymorphism, UGT1A1*28, which is associated with atazanavir-induced hyperbilirubinemia, is less common in Asians than in Caucasians. However, little is known about the incidence of atazanavir-associated hyperbilirubinemia in Asian populations. Our objective was to invest...

Background: Abacavir is an anti-retroviral medication used to treat HIV infected/AIDS patients and its efficacy has been proven in randomized clinical trials. The most significant adverse reaction associated with abacavir is the acute hypersensitivity phenomenon which manifests in many forms and in severe cases could result in death. Hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir has been closely linked...

Impact of UGT1A1 gene polymorphisms on plasma dolutegravir trough concentrations and neuropsychiatric adverse events in Japanese individuals infected with HIV-1

BACKGROUND Dolutegravir (DTG) is metabolized mainly by uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1), and partly by cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A). Therefore, we focused on UGT1A1 gene polymorphisms (*6 and *28) in Japanese individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 to examine the relationship between their plasma trough concentration of DTG and gene polymorphis...
