Follow-Up of Adefovir Dipivoxil Induced Osteomalacia: Clinical Characteristics and Genetic Predictors.

ABSTRACT: Adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) is widely used for chronic hepatitis B therapy in China. To explore the clinical features and prognosis of ADV-induced osteomalacia and to analyze the association between osteomalacia and genetic variants in 51 drug transporters genes. Clinical and follow-up data of the ADV-treated patients were collected. Target capture sequencing was used to identify genetic variations of 51 drug transporter genes. A total of 193 hepatitis B patients treated with ADV were enrolled, of whom 140 had osteomalacia. The other 53 without osteomalacia were included in the control group. The median duration of ADV treatment before the onset of osteomalacia was 6.5 years (range:1.5-7 years). We found that most patients with osteomalacia had hypophosphatemia, high serum alkaline phosphatas
