The data obtained from this study will help with prioritization genotyping in the region.

BackgroundThe efficiency and safety of drug therapy depends on the peculiarities of functioning of the P450 cytochrome group and transporting proteins. There are significant differences for single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) frequency.Materials and methodsWe studied the peculiarities of P450 cytochrome polymorphisms, SLCO1B1 transporting protein, and P-glycoprotein carriage in healthy volunteers in the Nanai ethnic group living in Russia, and compared them to the carriage of SNPs in the Russian population according to literature data.ResultsAfter performing the real-time polymerase chain reactions on the samples from 70 healthy volunteers from the Nanai group, for the CYP2C9*2C430T polymorphism we determined 70 CC-genotype carriers. As for the CYP2C9*3A1075C polymorphism, we found 62 AA-genotype carriers and eight AC-genotype carriers. For the CYP2C19*2G681A polymorphism, we determined 39 GG-genotype carriers and 28 GA-genotype carriers, for the CYP2C19*3G636A polymorphism 58 GG-genotype carriers and 12 GA-genotype carriers, and for the CYP2C19*17C806T polymorphism 67 CC-genotype carriers and three CT-genotype carriers. For the CYP2D6*4G1846A polymorphism, the GG genotype had 68 carriers, and the GA genotype two carriers. For the ABCB1*6C3435T polymorphism, there were 19 CC-genotype carriers and 39 CT-genotype carriers. For the SLCO1B1*5T521C polymorphism, the TT genotype had 41 carriers and the CT genotype 25 carriers. The distribution of genotypes fitted the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium for all the polymorphisms, except those of CYP2C9*2. There were also significant differences in allele frequencies for some polymorphisms between the Nanais and the Russians.ConclusionIn the Nanai population, there are polymorphisms connected with the decrease in safety and efficiency of drug therapy. Studying the ethnic differences might influence the determination of priority in the introduction of pharmacogenetic tests in clinical practice in different regions of Russia.

ObjectivesPrediction of the antipsychotic’s effectiveness is a relevant topic in the field of personalized medicine.MethodsThe research design of this study is a prospective observation with posthoc analysis of associations of genetic polymorphisms with safety parameters and effectiveness of antipsychotic therapy. We observed 53 adolescents with an acute psychotic episode which were prescribed antipsychotics for 14 days. We evaluated the effectiveness of antipsychotics with the Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale and the safety with the UKU Side Effects Rating Scale, Simpson-Angus Scale, and Barnes Akathisia rating scale. We genotyped CYP3A4*22 (rs2740574), CYP3A5*3 (6986A>G, rs7767746), CYP2D6*4, *9, *10 (rs3892097, rs1065852), ABCB1 1236C>T (rs1128503), 2677G>T/A (rs2032582), 3435C>T (rs1045642), DRD2 (rs1800497), DRD4 (rs1800955), HTR2A (rs6313) by the real-time polymerase chain reaction method.ResultsWe found significantly more frequent “increased dream activity” between CYP2D6 intermediate metabolizers and normal metabolizers (54 vs. 22%; p=0.043). The «increased duration of sleep» was more often observed in homozygotes TT of ABCB1 2677G>T/A (50 vs. 15.8%, p=0.006) and TT of 3435C>T (41.7 vs. 8.2%, p=0.007).ConclusionsWe found that CYP2D6 and ABCB1 polymorphisms were associated with the safety of antipsychotics in adolescents with an acute psychotic episode.

Проблема статин-индуцированной миопатии В настоящее время статины широко применяются в клинической практике для лечения гиперлипидемии, для первичной и вторичной профилактики сердечно-сосудистых событий, а также при остром коронарном синдроме (наибольшая доказательная база -макси-мально допустимые дозы). Доказательная база эф-фективности статинов при данных состояниях обшир-на. Однако в последнее время все большую актуальность приобретает проблема безопасности при применении статинов, в частности, со стороны поперечно-полоса-той мускулатуры. И если рабдомиолиз, как опасное для жизни осложнение со стороны поперечно-полосатой мускулатуры, при применении статинов встречается ред-ко (0,15 на 1 миллион назначений), то другие формы статин-индуцированной миопатии у пациентов, при-нимающих данные лекарственные средства (ЛС) [1], мо-гут встречаться часто. Предполагают, что механизмом развития данного осложнения терапии статинами мо-жет быть угнетение синтеза коэнзима Q (что приводит к нарушению в дыхательной цепи), а по некоторым дан-ным это может быть связано со снижением уровня ак-тивного метаболита витамина D [2]. При этом под ста-тин-индуцированной миопатией нужно понимать лю-бые мышечные симптомы или мышечную патологию, под миалгией -миопатию без повышения плазменной креатининсофокиназы (КФК), под миозитом -мио-патию с повышением КФК. И, наконец, рамбомиолиз -это миопатия с повышением КФК более чем в 10 раз The clinical significance of the SLCO1B1 gene polymorphism (encoding an organic anion transport polipeptide) in the development of statin induced myopathy is considered. Possible tactics of statin dose determination on the basis of pharmacogenetic testing is discussed. Indications for the use of this approach in clinical practice that should increase the efficacy and safety of the statin therapy are also considered.

IntroductionStatins are the most commonly prescribed medicines for treatment of hypercholesterolemia. At the same time, up to 25% of patients cannot tolerate or have to discontinue the statin therapy due to statin-induced myopathy. In a majority of cases, statin-induced myopathy is attributed to SLCO1B1 gene polymorphism. The strongest association between statin-induced myopathy and SLCO1B1 gene polymorphism was described for simvastatin. Our research was focused on the frequency of SLCO1B1*5 genetic variant in the Russian population and in the native population of Sakha (Yakutia).Materials and methodsA total of 1,071 hyperlipidemic Russian and 76 hyperlipidemic Sakha (Yakutian) patients were included in the study. Genotypes of SLCO1B1*5 (c.521T>C, rs4149056) were determined with polymerase chain reaction amplification. The results of our study were compared with data about hyperlipidemic patients in available publications.ResultsIn the Russian population 665 (62%) patients had TT genotype of SLCO1B1*5, 346 (32%) patients had TC genotype, and in 60 patients (6%) CC variant was found (Hardy–Weinberg’s chi-square test was 3.1 P=0.21). In comparison with Brazil, France, the People’s Republic of China, Japan, and the native population of Sakha (Yakutia), C-allele, which causes an increased risk of statin-induced myopathy, was found significantly more often in the Russian population. In the native population of Sakha (Yakutia) SLCO1B1 polymorphism was TT – 62 (82%), TC – 11 (14%), CC – 3 (4%) (Hardy–Weinberg’s chi-square test was 5.13 P=0.077). In comparison with data from Brazil, France, the People’s Republic of China, and Japan, C-allele frequency in the Sakha (Yakutian) population was not significantly different.ConclusionThus, we have studied the incidence of pathologic SLCO1B1 c.521C-allele in Russian and Sakha hyperlipidemic patients. The presence of SLCO1B1 C-allele in patients with hyperlipidemia forces us to be more careful in hypolipidemic drug prescription, especially statins, according to a higher risk of statin-induced myopathy development. The fact that SLCO1B1 C-allele is rarer among Sakha patients, could be interesting from the point of studying adverse drug effects frequency and statins’ effectiveness.
