Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)α −308 G/G promoter polymorphism and TNFα levels correlate with a better response to adalimumab in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract: A relationship between DAS28 improvement, the -308 G/G polymorphism, and increased circulating TNFalpha levels was found in Chilean RA patients treated with adalimumab.

“…We contacted the authors of these two studies, who reconfirmed their data. Nevertheless, analysis of the four remaining studies (8,13,15,16) showed no significant heterogeneity (I 2 ¼ 0%), and the overall difference in DAS28 score decreased, but remained significantly different from zero (difference ¼ 0.53, 95% CI: 0.18, 0.88, P ¼ 0.0033). Five of the six studies, which reported DAS28 score also used this as the criterion to determine responsiveness to the TNF-a inhibitor.…”

“…7 At present, there are a handful of small studies that have set out to examine whether the G to A polymorphism at position À308 in the promoter of the TNFa gene influences clinical response to TNF blockade in patients with moderate-to-severe RA. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Owing to the relatively small number of patients exposed to anti-TNF-a agents in all of the pharmacogenetic studies in RA to date, each individual study had insufficient power to conclusively determine if the À308 variant of the TNF-a gene would be helpful in predicting patients that respond poorly to TNF-a blockade. Lee et al 17 carried out a metaanalysis investigating the association of TNF-a À308 G/A polymorphism with responsiveness to TNF-a-blockers in RA.…”

“…However, Marotte et al [16] reported controversial results that TNF-α -308 SNP was not associated with response to infliximab therapy in RA patients. In another report, TNFα -308 GG promoter polymorphism had better response to adalimumab therapy than GA phenotype in 81 active RA patients [18].…”

“…As an example, one study has shown that patients bearing the GGC haplotype of TNF gene (-238G/-308G/-857C) in a homozygous form showed low response rate to ADA treatment (26), whereas in another study, TNF -308 homozygous (G/G) patients showed better response than heterozygous (G/A) patients (27). In other studies the development of antibodies directed against adalimumab has been shown to be associated with interleukin-(IL)10 polymorphisms (28).…”
