Population genetic structure of variable drug response

Geographic patterns of genetic variation, including variation at drug metabolizing enzyme (DME) loci and drug targets, indicate that geographic structuring of inter-individual variation in drug response may occur frequently. This raises two questions: how to represent human population genetic structure in the evaluation of drug safety and efficacy, and how to relate this structure to drug response. We address these by (i) inferring the genetic structure present in a heterogeneous sample and (ii…

It is found that ADME genes show significantly greater variation in levels of population differentiation, and numerous signals of recent positive selection onADME genes are found, suggesting that genetic differentiation at ADme genes could contribute to population heterogeneity in drug responses.

It is concluded that genotyping of hospital patients and people from the hospital catchment area confers no advantage over using samples from appropriate existing ethnic group collections or publicly available data, and given the current NHS England Black African grouping, a decision as to whether to test would have to apply to all patients of recent Black African ancestry.

This study provides the first conclusive demonstration that the diverse demographic histories of human populations have produced dramatic differences in genomewide patterns of LD, and suggests that demographic history has such a profound effect on LD that it will not be possible to predict patterns a priori but thatIt will be necessary to empirically evaluate the patterns in all populations of interest.

The A/A genotype may either be a direct cause of increased CYP1A2 activity, or be genetically linked to polymorphisms conferring high inducibility, and further studies are needed to define the role of this polymorphism on the pharmacokinetics of drugs metabolised by CYP 1A2 and in the activation of carcinogens.
