Post-mortem ABCB1 genotyping reveals an elevated toxicity for female digoxin users

Abstract: These findings demonstrate a link between ABCB1 polymorphisms and increased mortality, and suggest that individualized genotyping should be considered prior to digoxin treatment. This research also exemplifies the value of gender-segregated genotyping studies in helping establish drug safety parameters, while allowing more decisive determination of cause and manner of death in a medico-legal context.

“…This study’s results are consistent with the notion that ABCB1 3435T confers higher SDC [67], but adds to the existing data by suggesting that the interactions with C3435T may be gender-specific. There was a relationship between the frequency of 3435T allele and post-mortem SDC, but surprisingly the results were driven by females.…”

“…This genetic difference may have arisen from an ancient border between two different immigration waves that arrived at different times and could represent two different modes of subsistence, i.e., hunter-gathering (east) and animal husbandry/farming (west) 9 . A similar but less dramatic border has been observed with the autosomal data 8 and even in genes with pharmacogenetic relevance 10, 11 .…”

“…This area continues to be investigated; a recent study confirms that the ABCB1 TTT haplotype may be predictive of elevated digoxin concentrations in patients receiving this medication, especially in females. 75 However, similar to the 2008 digoxin report mentioned, this 2012 study did not include a population of exclusively heart failure patients. The negative finding in heart failure patients hint that perhaps clinical or other factors related to the disease state may override any genetic association altering digoxin response.…”
