Characterization of the CYP2D6 Gene Locus and Metabolic Activity in Indo- and Afro-Trinidadians: Discovery of Novel Allelic Variants

Abstract: Our study underscores the importance of thoroughly characterizing the genetic make up of unique populations when considering pharmacogenetic testing for individualized therapy.

“…There are also a number of alleles with g.100C>T that are currently labeled as “uncertain” function (e.g., *37 , *52 , *64 , *87 , *94 , and *95 ). Most experts recommended that these alleles should also receive an activity value of 0.25; however, concerns were raised by some of the experts regarding the lack of evidence (i.e., in vitro or in vivo studies) for most of these alleles (e.g., 100C>T in combination with other SNP(s) may obliterate function, or compensate for the decreased function caused by 100C>T) . Thus, other CYP2D6 alleles containing the 100C>T variant besides *10 will be assessed as part of future CPIC guideline development.…”

“…For example, the determination of activity for an allele is difficult as is and to discriminate activity on a scale of 10% increments seems impossible as there are no data for the vast majority of alleles at this point in time. Second, there is a broad range of interindividual variability among subjects within the same genotype group and third, even if activity could be determined on a 10% scale, percent activities may still need to be translated into a limited number of phenotyping categories for feasibility of clinical implementation.…”

“…Furthermore, the study of populations with complex ancestry such as Latin American populations comprises the fact that novel or rare variants (Fohner et al, 2013;Gaedigk et al, 2010) might appear, leading to poor metabolism or reduced function (Montané-Jaime et al, 2013). In the future, sequencing the CYP2D6 gene in these populations might be suitable to detect relevant genetic variants.…”

“…During the 16 th century, people from the Iberian Peninsula arrived to different places of America leading current Costa Rican, Latin American, and Caribbean populations to have different degrees of admixture (Gaedigk et al, 2010;Llerena et al, 2012;Montané-Jaime, Lalla, Steimer, & Gaedigk, 2013). Latin American populations are products of a process of admixture, mainly including groups of Amerindian, European and African ancestry (Sans, 2000).…”

“…High quality genomic DNA (gDNA) was isolated from whole blood and tissues using silica-based spin columns such as the QIAamp® DNA Blood Mini Kit, DNeasy® Blood and Tissue Kit from Qiagen (Valencia, CA) or by a phenol-chloroform-based procedure 22 . Saliva samples were collected from participants at CAMH in Oragene DNA kits (DNA Genotek, Kanata, ON, Canada).…”
