ABSTRACT: Background
Hyperlipidemia is a common adverse effect of sirolimus (SRL). We previously showed significant associations of ABCB1 3435C>T and IL-10 -1082G>A with log-transformed SRL dose-adjusted weighted-normalized trough. We further examined to see whether these polymorphisms were also associated with SRL-induced dyslipidemia.Methods
Genotyping was performed for ABCB1 1236C>T, 2677 G>T/A, and 3435C>T; CYP3A4 -392A>G; CYP3A5 6986A>G and 14690G>A; IL-10 -1082G>A; TNF -308G>A; and ApoE ε2, ε3, and ε4 alleles. The longitudinal changes of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and triglyceride (TG) levels after SRL treatment before statin therapy were analyzed by a linear mixed-effects model, with adjustments for selected covariates for each lipid.<
