Abstract:

To systematically study the susceptible genetic markers for liver injury induced by anti-tuberculosis drugs in the Chinese population, 109 genes related to drug metabolism, transport and immunity were captured by Haloplex capture technique from DNA samples of 41 patients with liver injury induced by anti-tuberculosis drugs and 39 healthy controls, and sequenced completely. Association study was conducted using Plink software. To verify the significant candidate SNPs, the χ 2 study was expanded to the control group from the 1000-person Genome Project of the East Asian population. SIFT and Polyphen2 software were used to predict the functional significance of the associated SNPs. Our results identified the UGT1A4 rs2011404 (χ 2 = 4.6809, P = 0.0305) as a susceptible genetic marker for liver injury induced by anti-tuberculosis drugs, and rs2011404 mutation might contribute to UGT1A4 protein dysfunction. This study has provided a potentially useful reference for establishing the precision medicine in rational uses of anti-tuberculosis drugs in the clinic.
