A next-generation sequencing-based pharmacogenetic study of ABCB1, ABCC1, and ABCC2 variants associated with antiseizure medication response in Turkish epilepsy patients.

OBJECTIVES: Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by a tendency to have recurrent seizures due to abnormal and excessive neuronal activity in the brain. Genetic variants in adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette (ABC) transporter genes, including ABCB1, ABCC1, and ABCC2, may contribute to pharmacoresistance in epilepsy by altering the transport of anti-seizure medications (ASMs) across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This study aims to explore genetic polymorphisms in the ABCB1, ABCC1, and ABCC2 genes in Turkish epilepsy patients and to assess their impact on responsiveness to ASMs. METHODS: Targeted next-generation sequencing was used for molecular genotyping of the ABCB1, ABCC1, and ABCC2 genes in genomic DNA from 35 patients. RESULTS: A total of nine common variants were analyzed in ABCB1 (rs2032582, rs1045642, rs1128503), ABCC1 (rs35626, rs212087, rs246221), and ABCC2 (rs717620, rs22773697, rs3740066). A statistically significant association was found between ABCB1 rs2032582:T>G and ASMs response in the recessive model (TT + TG vs. GG, p = 0.018, OR = 13.13; 95% CI: 1.69-160.1; Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) FDR-adjusted q = 0.09), with the TT + TG genotypes being more frequent among drug-responsive patients. Haplotype analysis showed that only the ABCB1 rs2032582 G allele was significantly more frequent in drug-persistent patients compared with drug-responsive patients (χ2 = 3.916, p = 0.047). However, none of these associations remained statistically significant after false discovery rate (FDR) correction, and all findings should therefore be interpreted as exploratory. SIGNIFICANCE: The findings suggest that the ABCB1 rs2032582:T>G polymorphism may be associated with variability in treatment response among Turkish epilepsy patients. These results emphasize the potential involvement of ABC transporter-mediated drug efflux mechanisms in impacting the effectiveness of ASMs.

Urobiota analysis and genome-wide association study in pediatric recurrent urinary tract infections and vesicoureteral reflux.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common severe bacterial infections in young children, often associated with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). To explore host genetic-microbiota interactions and their clinical implications, we analyzed the urinary microbiota (urobiota) and conducted genome-wide association studies for bacterial abundance traits in pediatric patients with UTI and VUR from the Randomized Intervention for Children with Vesicoureteral Reflux and Careful Urinary Tract Infection Evaluation cohorts. We identified 4 urobiota community types based on relative abundance, characterized by the genera Enterococcus, Prevotella, Pseudomonas, and Escherichia/Shigella, and their associations with VUR, age, and toilet training. Children with VUR exhibited decreased microbial diversity and increased abundance of genera that included opportunistic pathogens, suggesting a disrupted urobiota. We detected genome-wide significant genetic associations with urinary bacterial relative abundances, in or near candidate genes including CXCL12, ABCC1, and ROBO1, which are implicated in urinary tract development and response to infection. We showed that Cxcl12 was induced 12 hours after uropathogenic bacterial infection in mouse bladder. The association with CXCL12 suggests a genetic link between UTI, VUR, and cardiovascular phenotypes later in life. These findings provide the first characterization to our knowledge of host genetic influences on the pediatric urobiota in UTI and VUR, offering insights into the interplay between disease, host genetics, and the urobiota composition.

Whole-Exome and Whole-Genome Sequencing of Candidate Pharmacogenomic and Schizophrenia-Related Genes in Sudanese Families with Schizophrenia.

BACKGROUND: Schizophrenia is considered a neuro-developmental disorder leading to disastrous lifelong disability of the patients and their families. There is a lack of data regarding pharmacogenomics of schizophrenia in Sudan. This study aimed to identify different genes affecting the treatment outcomes in Sudanese patients with schizophrenia. METHODS: A case-control study was conducted on seven families having more than one member diagnosed with schizophrenia. This was a small exploratory family-based sequencing study involving 18 affected individuals and 8 controls from seven families. Ethical clearance and informed consent were obtained. Demographic data were collected using a standardized data collection sheet. DNA was extracted from blood samples collected from patients and control groups. Then, whole-exome and genome sequencing were performed. Sixty-six genes associated with schizophrenia, treatment, and treatment resistance were selected from the variant calling file. Variants showing single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified. These variants were then classified based on their impact on the protein-coding sequence into high- and moderate-impact. Moreover, indel mutations were also identified. RESULTS: Twelve variants of seven genes (COMT, FMO1, LPL, CYP2E1, ABCC1, GRM3, CYP2C9) were identified as genes with impact and potential association with schizophrenia (p-value=0.006632). Forty-three genes had a moderate impact, and they showed a potential association with schizophrenia (p-value=0.0004436). Two variants were indel mutations (CYP2D6, DTNBP1) and showed association with schizophrenia (p-value=0.004741). The p-values were generated from different databases. CONCLUSION: This exploratory family-based sequencing study identified several potentially relevant pharmacogenomic and schizophrenia-associated variants in Sudanese families, warranting validation in larger and ethnically diverse cohorts.

Host Genetic Regulation of NLRP3 Inflammasome Cytokines Reveals Immune and Vascular Pathways in HIV.

People with HIV exhibit elevated inflammation and cardiovascular risk despite antiretroviral therapy. To define the genetic architecture of inflammasome-associated inflammation, we performed whole-genome sequencing and quantified plasma IL-6, IL-1β, and IL-18 in 1,000 ART-suppressed PWH from the U.S. Military HIV Natural History Study. Genome-wide analyses identified 14 loci implicating antiviral defense (DDX17, DDX41, EEA1, BCL11A), lipid metabolism (ABCA1, ABCA12, ABCC1, AGMO), and vascular remodeling (KLHL29, RNF213, ETV1). Transcriptome-wide analyses across cardiovascular and immune tissues identified regulatory programs linking interferon signaling, immune activation, and vascular biology to circulating cytokine levels. Mendelian randomization analyses supported causal relationships between inflammasome-associated cytokines and vascular events. Functional integration with genome-wide CRISPR perturbation datasets in primary CD4+ T cells linked cytokine-associated loci to HIV antiviral pathways and cytokine regulatory networks. External validation in cohorts without HIV demonstrated pathway-level convergence despite limited variant-level overlap. These findings define genetic mechanisms linking inflammasome signaling, antiviral defense, and cardiovascular risk.
