Impact of CYP2C19, CYP3A4, ABCB1, and FMO3 genotypes on plasma voriconazole in Thai patients with invasive fungal infections.

ABSTRACT: Voriconazole is the first-line antifungal choice in the treatment of invasive fungal infections (IFIs). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in drug-metabolizing and transporter genes may affect voriconazole pharmacokinetics. This study aimed to determine the frequency of the CYP2C19 rs4244285, rs4986893, rs72552267, and rs12248560, CYP3A4 rs4646437, ABCB1 rs1045642, and FMO3 rs2266782 alleles and determine the association between these genetic variants and voriconazole concentrations in Thai patients with invasive fungal infections. The study comprised 177 Thai patients with IFIs in whom seven SNPs in CYP2C19, CYP3A4, ABCB1, and FMO3 were genotyped using TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) 5´ nuclease assays, and voriconazole plasma concentrations were measured by high-p
