The effect of genetic variants in the transcription factor TSPYL family on the CYP3A4 mediated cyclosporine metabolism in kidney transplant patients.

ABSTRACT: CYP3A4 activity shows considerable interindividual variability. Although studies indicate 60%-80% is heritable, common single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in CYP3A4 together only explain ~10%. Transcriptional factors, such as the testis-specific Y-encoded-like proteins (TSPYLs) family, have been reported to regulate the expression of CYP enzymes including CYP3A4 in vitro. Here, we investigated the effect of genetic variants in TSPYL on CYP3A4 activity using data from a clinical study and a human liver bank. Five SNVs (rs3828743, rs10223646, rs6909133, rs1204807, and rs1204811) in TSPYL were selected because of a reported effect on CYP3A4 expression in vitro or suggested clinical effect. For the clinical study, whole blood concentrations, clinical data, and DNA were available from 295 kidney
