SLCO1A2, SLCO1B1 and SLCO2B1 polymorphisms influences chloroquine and primaquine treatment in Plasmodium vivax malaria.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The association of transporters gene polymorphisms with chloroquine/primaquine malaria treatment response was investigated in a Brazilian population.

Patients & methods

Totally, 164 Plasmodium vivax malaria infected patients were included. Generalized estimating equations were performed to determine gene influences on parasitemia and/or gametocytemia clearance over treatment time.

Results

Significant interaction between SLCO2B1 genotypes and treatment over time for parasitemia clearance rate on day 2 were observed (p _FDR = 0.002). SLCO1A2 and SLCO1B1 gene treatment over time interactions were associated with gametocytemia clearance rate (p _FDR = 0.018 and p _FDR = 0.024). ABCB1, ABCC4 and SLCO1B3 were not associated with treatment r
