Updated DPYD HapB3 haplotype structure and implications for pharmacogenomic testing.

ABSTRACT: The DPYD gene encodes dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase, the rate-limiting enzyme for the metabolism of fluoropyrimidines 5-fluorouracil and capecitabine. Genetic variants in DPYD have been associated with altered enzyme activity, therefore accurate detection and interpretation is critical to predict metabolizer status for individualized fluoropyrimidine therapy. The most commonly observed deleterious variation is the causal variant linked to the previously described HapB3 haplotype, c.1129-5923C>G (rs75017182) in intron 10, which introduces a cryptic splice site. A benign synonymous variant in exon 11, c.1236G>A (rs56038477) is also linked to HapB3 and is commonly used for testing. Previously, these single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been reported to be in perfect linkage disequilibrium (LD); therefore, c.1236G>A is often utilized as a proxy for the function-altering intronic variant. Clinical genotyping of DPYD identified a patient who had c.1236G>A, but not c.1129-5923C>G, suggesting that these two SNPs may not be in perfect LD, as previously assumed. Additional individuals with c.1236G>A, but not c.1129-5923C>G, were identified in the Children's Mercy Data Warehouse and the All of Us Research Program version 7 cohort substantiating incomplete SNP linkage. Consequently, testing only c.1236G>A can generate false-positive results in some cases and lead to suboptimal dosing that may negatively impact patient therapy and prospect of survival. Our data show that DPYD genotyping should include the functional variant c.1129-5923C>G, and not the c.1236G>A proxy, to accurately predict DPD activity.

Project description:ObjectiveThe goal of pharmacogenomics is the translation of genomic discoveries into individualized patient care. Recent advances in the means to survey human genetic variation are fundamentally transforming our understanding of the genetic basis of interindividual variation in therapeutic response. The goal of this study was to systematically evaluate high-throughput genotyping technologies for their ability to assay variation in pharmacogenetically important genes (pharmacogenes). These platforms are either being proposed for or are already being widely used for clinical implementation; therefore, knowledge of coverage of pharmacogenes on these platforms would serve to better evaluate current or proposed pharmacogenetic association studies.MethodAmong the genes included in our study are drug-metabolizing enzymes, transporters, receptors, and drug targets, of interest to the entire pharmacogenetic community. We considered absolute and linkage disequilibrium (LD)-informed coverage, minor allele frequency spectrum, and functional annotation for a Caucasian population. We also examined the effect of LD, effect size, and cohort size on the power to detect single nucleotide polymorphism associations.ResultsIn our analysis of 253 pharmacogenes, we found that no platform showed more than 85% coverage of these genes (after accounting for LD). Furthermore, the lack of coverage showed a marked increase at minor allele frequencies of less than 20%. Even after accounting for LD, only 30% of the missense polymorphisms (which are enriched for low-frequency alleles) were covered by HapMap, with still lower coverage on the other platforms.ConclusionWe have conducted the first systematic evaluation of the Axiom Genomic Database, Omni 2.5 M, and the Drug Metabolizing Enzymes and Transporters chip. This study is the first to utilize the 1000 Genomes Project to present a comprehensive evaluative framework. Our results provide a much-needed assessment of microarray-based genotyping and next-generation sequencing technologies' ability to survey fully the variation in genes of particular interest to the pharmacogenetics community. Our findings demonstrate the limitations of genome-wide methods and the challenges of implementing pharmacogenomic tests into the clinical context.
