Abstract
Background: T reatment o f chronic hepatitis C i s evolving, a nd direct
acting antivirals ( DAAs) are now a dded to p egylated interferon-α ( Peg-
INF-α) and ribavirin (RBV) for the treatment o f hepatitis C v irus ( HCV)
genotype 1 infection. DAAs c ause d ifferent side effects and can even
worsen RBV induced hemolytic anemia. T herefore, identifying host
genetic d eterminants of R BV bioavailability and therapeutic e fficacy will
remain crucial for individualized treatment. Recent d ata showed
associations between R BV induced h emolytic anemia and genetic
polymorphisms o f concentrative nucleoside transporters s uch as C NT3
(SLC28A3) and i nosine t riphosphatase (ITPA). T o analyze t he
association of genetic variants of SLC28 transporters and ITPA with RBV
induced hemolytic anemia and treatment o utcome. Methods: I n our
study, 173 patients f rom t he S wiss Hepatitis C C ohort Study and 2 2
patients from Swiss Association for the Study of the Liver study 24 (61%
HCV g enotype 1, 3 9% genotypes 2 o r 3) were analyzed for SLC28A2
single nucleotide p olymorphism (SNP) rs11854484, SLC28A3
rs56350726 and SLC28A3 rs10868138 as well as ITPA SNPs rs1127354
and rs7270101. RBV serum levels during treatment were measured in 49
patients. Results: SLC28A2 r s11854484 genotype TT was associated
with significantly higher dosage- and body weight-adjusted RBV levels as
compared to genotypes TC and CC (p=0.04 and p=0.02 at weeks 4 and
8, respectively). ITPA SNPs rs1127354 and rs7270101 were associated
with h emolytic a nemia both in genotype as w ell as i n allelic a nalyses.
SLC28A3 rs56350726 genotype TT (vs. AT/AA, RR=2.1; 95% CI 1.1-4.1)
as well as the T allele (vs. A; RR=1.8, 95% CI 1.1-3.2) were associated
with increased SVR rates. The combined analysis of overall ITPA activity
and SLC28 v ariants together revealed n o significant a dditive effects on
either treatment-related anemia or SVR. Conclusions: T he newly
identified association between RBV serum levels a nd SLC28A2
rs11854484 genotype as well as the replicated association of ITPA and
SLC28A3 g enetic p olymorphisms w ith RBV induced hemolytic anemia
and treatment r esponse underpin the need for further studies on host
genetic d eterminants of R BV bioavailability and therapeutic e fficacy f or
individualized treatment of chronic hepatitis C.
