Abstract

Background: Plasma concentrations of antiretrovirals (ARVs) regimens have considerably varied in individuals of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) because of variations in the expression of drug-metabolizing and transporter genes. Transporter genes play an important role in the disposition of drugs. Polymorphism in transporter gene (ABCC3) affects the MRP3 expression and varies the treatment outcome.

Method: We examined the polymorphism of ABCC3-1767G/A gene in a total of 165 HIV patients (out of 165 HIV patients, 34 were with and 131 were without hepatotoxicity) and 156 healthy individuals using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method.

Results: In univariate analysis, we found a decreased prevalence of ABCC3 1767GA, 1767GA+AA genotypes, and 1767A allele in patients with hepatotoxicity as compared to patients without hepatotoxicity (23.5% vs. 28.2% and 23.5% vs. 30.53%; 11.76% vs. 16.41%), while a higher prevalence of 1767AA genotype was observed in HIV patients in comparison with healthy controls (2.3% vs. 1.3%, odds ratio [OR] = 1.71, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.23-15.03, p = .89). The frequency of ABCC3-1767AA genotype was dispersed higher in individuals with early and advanced HIV disease stage in comparison with healthy controls (5.3% vs. 1.3%, OR = 4.73, p = .70; 8.9% vs. 1.3%, OR = 1.89, p = .91). A higher occurrence of ABCC3-1767AA genotype was found in tobacco using HIV patients without hepatotoxicity compared with nonusers (4.7% vs. 1.1%, OR = 4.28, p = .52). The distribution of ABCC3-1767GA genotype was higher in nevirapine receiving HIV patients irrespective of their hepatotoxicity status as compared to nonusers (30.4% vs. 9.1%, OR = 3.34, p = .22; 29.4% vs. 16.7%, OR = 1.69, p = .77). In multivariate analysis, HIV patients receiving nevirapine and with hepatotoxicity was found to have a significant risk for severity of hepatotoxicity (OR = 4.56, 95% CI: 1.60-12.99, p = .004).

Conclusion: ABCC3 1767G/A polymorphism was not significantly associated with susceptibility to ARV-associated hepatotoxicity, although ABCC3 1767AA genotype designated a risk for acquisition of hepatotoxicity and advancement of the disease. Nevirapine usage emerged as an independent risk factor for hepatotoxicity severity.
