ABCB1 single nucleotide polymorphisms in the Brazilian population

Abstract: The ABCB1/MDR-1 gene, which encodes P-glycoprotein, is highly polymorphic. We analyzed 278 healthy Brazilian individuals through PCR-RFLP to identify ABCB1 variants and determine the genotypic and allelic frequencies. Genotypic frequencies for C1236T (rs1128503) were 0.31 for CC, 0.60 for CT and 0.09 for TT and allelic frequencies were 0.61 and 0.39 for C and T, respectively. Genotypic frequencies for C3435T (rs1045642) were 0.24 for CC, 0.61 for CT and 0.15 for TT, and allelic frequencies were 0.55 and 0.45 f… Show more

“…In a recent study that was also performed in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, matching the recruitment area and ethnicity of our IBD patients, 278 healthy individuals were analyzed regarding the genotype and allele frequencies of MDR1 gene polymorphisms. The investigators found a peculiar variant distribution, with significant differences between C1236C and C3435T and also between C1236C and C3435C, which differed from the results obtained for several other ethnic groups (34). In this context, it must be emphasized that data from potential source populations, such as Europeans or Africans, cannot be deemed representative of the Brazilian genotype and allele frequencies due to the marked heterogeneity and the extensive admixture of the Brazilian population (35,36).…”

“…[109] The frequencies of the ABCB1 3435C and the 1236C alleles are also much higher in individuals of African descent than in populations of other ethnicity. [111] Recently, a novel CYP3A4 loss-of-function allele (CYP3A4*20) was identified and was shown to be present in 1.2% of the Spanish population. This polymorphism has, however, not been investigated in relation to Tac dose requirement nor toxicity.…”

“…Regarding the ABCB1 c.C3435T, none of the alleles is significantly overrepresented in our population as compared to controls [29,43,[59][60][61][62][63][64][65]. Some studies yet reported a relationship between this polymorphism and obesity or weight gain.…”

“…We searched for recent studies focusing on the allelic frequency of OPRM1 c.A118G, ABCB1 c.C3435T, and COMT p.Val158Met in control Caucasian population [7,40,43]. We screened Caucasian populations and selected in the corresponding articles the data necessary to compare allelic frequencies between control Caucasian populations and our morbidly obese Caucasian population.…”
