Correlation of Genetic Polymorphism of CYP3A5 to Cyclophosphamide Efficacy and Toxicity in Rhabdomyosarcoma Pediatric Egyptian Cancer Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) accounts for 50% of soft tissue sarcomas and 7% of pediatric malignancies. Cyclophosphamide (CPA) is the cornerstone of therapy and is a prodrug that is activated by the highly polymorphic drug-metabolizing enzyme CYP3A5. We aim to examine the possible CYP3A5 polymorphism association with CPA efficacy, survival outcomes, and toxicity in Egyptian pediatric RMS patients.

Methods

The three non-functional SNPs, CYP3A5*3 rs776746 (C_26201809_30), CYP3A5*6 rs10264272 (C_30203950_10), and CYP3A5*7 rs41303343 (C_32287188_10) were genotyped by real-time PCR. We conducted a cohort retrospective study of 150 pediatric RMS patients treated with CPA-based first-line treatment to analyze the association between these genotypes and CPA efficacy/toxicities
