CYP3A and CYP2B6 Genotype Predicts Glucose Metabolism Disorder among HIV Patients on Long-Term Efavirenz-Based ART: A Case-Control Study.

Long-term antiretroviral treatment (cART) increases the risk of glucose metabolism disorders (GMDs). Genetic variation in drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters may influence susceptibility to cART-associated GMDs. We conducted a case-control study to investigate the association of pharmacogenetic variations with cART-induced GMDs. A total of 240 HIV patients on long-term efavirenz-based cART (75 GMD cases and 165 controls without GMDs) were genotyped for CYP3A4*1B, CYP3A5 (*3,*6), CYP2B6*6, UGT2B7*2, ABCB1 (c.3435C>T, c.4036A>G), and SLCO1B1 (*1b, *5). GMD cases were defined as the presence of impaired fasting glucose, insulin resistance, or diabetes mellitus (DM). Case-control genotype/haplotype association and logistic regression analysis were performed by adjusting for age, sex, and BMI. The major CYP3A haplotype were CYP3A5*3 (53.8%), CYP3A4*1B (17.3%), combinations of CYP3A4*1B, and CYP3A5*6 (10.9%), and CYP3A wild type (7%). CYP3A5*6 allele (p = 0.005) and CYP3A5*6 genotype (p = 0.01) were significantly associated with GMD cases. Multivariate analysis indicated CYP3A haplotype as a significant predictor of GMD (p = 0.02) and IFG (p = 0.004). CYP2B6*6 significantly predicted DM (p = 0.03). CYP3A haplotype and CYP2B6*6 genotype are independent significant predictors of GMD and DM, respectively, among HIV patients on long-term EFV-based cART.
