Association of ABCC2 Haplotypes to Mycophenolic Acid Pharmacokinetics in Stable Kidney Transplant Recipients.

ABSTRACT: Mycophenolic acid exhibits significant interpatient pharmacokinetic variability attributed to factors including race, sex, concurrent medications, and enterohepatic circulation of the mycophenolic acid glucuronide metabolite to mycophenolic acid. This conversion by enterohepatic circulation is mediated by the multidrug resistance-associated protein 2, encoded by ABCC2. This study investigated ABCC2 haplotype associations with mycophenolic acid pharmacokinetics in 147 stable kidney transplant recipients receiving mycophenolic acid in combination with calcineurin inhibitors. The role of the ABCC2 genotypes -24C>T (rs717620), 1249C>T (rs2273697), and 3972C>T (rs3740066) were evaluated in prospective, cross-sectional pharmacokinetic studies of stable recipients receiving mycophenolic acid and
