Pharmacogenetics of tenofovir renal toxicity in HIV-positive Southern Africans.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Renal toxicity is more common with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) than with tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF). We investigated whether polymorphisms in genes relevant to tenofovir disposition affect renal toxicity among HIV-positive Southern Africans.

Methods

Genetic sub-study of adults randomized to initiate TAF or TDF together with dolutegravir and emtricitabine was conducted. Outcomes were changes from week 4 to 48 in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and from baseline to week 48 in urine retinol-binding protein and urine β2-microglobulin adjusted for urinary creatinine (uRBP/Cr and uB2M/Cr). Primary analyses prioritized 14 polymorphisms previously reported to be associated with tenofovir disposition or renal outcomes, and all polymorphisms
