The Relationships of ABCB1 3435C>T and CYP2B6 516G>T With High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol in HIV-Infected Patients Receiving Efavirenz

Abstract: Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are associated with a favorable increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) level. Isolated studies have found a direct correlation between efavirenz (EFV) exposure and HDL-c level changes. Here we explore the impact that drug disposition variants associated with EFV exposure have on changes in HDL-c level. Seventy-six patients on first-line EFV-based regimens were genotyped for CYP2B6 516G>T and ABCB1 3435C>T. There was a 37% increase (+0.3… Show more

“…Consistent with previous studies in HIV-infected children 3,4,18 and adults 13,19,20 starting efavirenz-or nevirapine-based therapy, HDL concentrations increased over the first years of efavirenz treatment. In our study, an indirect response model assuming that HDL and LDL elimination was inhibited by efavirenz best described the relationship between efavirenz plasma concentration and evolution of HDL and LDL concentrations over time in HIV-infected children.…”

“…Evidence indicates a link of ABCB1 variants with circulating lipid profiles, mainly LDL-C, and the efficacy of statins [26]. Furthermore, ABCB1 3435C>T (rs1045642) has been associated with efavirenz induced changes in HDL-C [32]. We did not observe association with HDL-C response to atenolol at this SNP in our study; however, because we did observe association in this gene, ABCB1 and drug associated HDL-C change warrants further investigation.…”

“…Genetic variation in the ABCB1 gene influences efavirenz pharmacokinetics 7 and cellular cholesterol transport. 8 Plasma efavirenz concentration displays a wide between-patient variability partly due to ethnic and pharmacogenetic factors. 9 Therefore, interindividual variation in efavirenz exposure due to pharmacogenetic variations may influence the extent of enzyme induction.…”
