Synergistic toxicity with copper contributes to NAT2-associated isoniazid toxicity.

ABSTRACT: Anti-tuberculosis (AT) medications, including isoniazid (INH), can cause drug-induced liver injury (DILI), but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to identify genetic factors that may increase the susceptibility of individuals to AT-DILI and to examine genetic interactions that may lead to isoniazid (INH)-induced hepatotoxicity. We performed a targeted sequencing analysis of 380 pharmacogenes in a discovery cohort of 112 patients (35 AT-DILI patients and 77 controls) receiving AT treatment for active tuberculosis. Pharmacogenome-wide association analysis was also conducted using 1048 population controls (Korea1K). NAT2 and ATP7B genotypes were analyzed in a replication cohort of 165 patients (37 AT-DILI patients and 128 controls) to validate the effects of bot
