Journal Article
Identification of genetic variants associated with tacrolimus metabolism in kidney transplant recipients by extreme phenotype sampling and next generation sequencing
2019
Overview
An extreme phenotype sampling (EPS) model with targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) identified genetic variants associated with tacrolimus (Tac) metabolism in subjects from the Deterioration of Kidney Allograft Function (DeKAF) Genomics cohort which included 1,442 European Americans (EA) and 345 African Americans (AA). This study included 48 subjects separated into 4 groups of 12 (AA high, AA low, EA high, EA low). Groups were selected by the extreme phenotype of dose-normalized Tac trough concentrations after adjusting for common genetic variants and clinical factors. NGS spanned > 3 Mb of 28 genes and identified 18,661 genetic variants (3961 previously unknown). A group of 125 deleterious variants, by SIFT analysis, were associated with Tac troughs in EAs (burden test, p = 0.008), CYB5R2 was associated with Tac troughs in AAs (SKAT, p = 0.00079). In CYB5R2, rs61733057 (increased allele frequency in AAs) was predicted to disrupt protein function by SIFT and PolyPhen2 analysis. The variants merit further validation.
