Background: The multidrug resistance protein, MDR1 is involved in the transport of numerous drugs. Polymorphism of MDR1 is linked with the treatment outcome. Antiretroviral (ARV) regimen is being used to manage the progression of HIV infection. Ethnic disparities have been observed in the distribution of MDR1 genotypes.
Methods: MDR1 polymorphisms (1236 C/T, 3435 C/T) was genotyped in 34 HIV-infected individuals with ARV-associated hepatotoxicity, 131 HIV-infected individuals without ARV-associated hepatotoxicity, and one-fifty-five healthy individuals by utilization of PCR-RFLP.
Results: The incidence of haplotype TC of MDR1 was found to be more in HIV infected individuals with hepatotoxicity than the non-hepatotoxic ones, thus indicating a greater risk for hepatotoxicity severity (OR=1.96, P=0.06). Whereas the haplotypes TT and CC were found to be linked with a reduced risk for hepatotoxicity severity (OR= 0.16, P=0.006; OR= 0.46, P=0.06). A higher occurrence of MDR1 1236TT genotype was seen among patients with hepatotoxicity who consumed alcohol (28.6% versus 14.8%, OR=1.50). In patients with hepatotoxicity on nevirapine, there was an increased incidence of MDR1 1236TT genotype in contrast with efavirenz (21.7% versus 9.1%, OR=2.11). In HIV-infected people on nevirapine, the incidence of MDR1 1236CT, 1236TT genotypes was found to be more as compared to the ones on efavirenz (43.7% versus 33.3%, OR=1.66; 12.6% versus 8.3%, OR=1.96). Also a higher occurrence of MDR1 1236TT genotype was found in the hepatotoxicity cases on nevirapine, who consume alcohol as compared to the alcohol nonusers on nevirapine (40.0% versus 16.67%, OR=2.21).
Conclusion: Haplotype TC was associated with the increased severity of hepatotoxicity because of synergistic effect. In the HIV infected individuals on nevirapine who consume alcohol, the presence of MDR1 1236TT and 3435CT genotypes may have a combined effect on vulnerability to hepatotoxicity severity and progression of HIV infection.
