BACKGROUND: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a rare entity; in addition, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may impact its course and outcome. We investigated liver-related SNPs regarding its activity, as well as in relation to its stage and treatment response in a Central European AIH cohort.
METHODS: A total of 113 AIH patients (i.e., 30 male/83 female, median 57.9 years) were identified. In 81, genotyping of PNPLA3-rs738409, MBOAT7-rs626238, TM6SF2-rs58542926, and HSD17B13-rs72613567:TA, as well as both biochemical and clinical data at baseline and follow-up, were available.
RESULTS: The median time of follow-up was 2.8 years; five patients died and one underwent liver transplantation. The PNPLA3-G/G homozygosity was linked to a worse treatment response when compared to wildtype [wt] (ALT 1.7 vs. 0.6 × ULN, p < 0.001). The MBOAT7-C/C homozygosity was linked to non-response vs. wt and heterozygosity (p = 0.022). Male gender was associated with non-response (OR 14.5, p = 0.012) and a higher prevalence of PNPLA3 (G/G vs. C/G vs. wt 41.9/40.0/15.0% males, p = 0.03). The MBOAT7 wt was linked to less histological fibrosis (p = 0.008), while no effects for other SNPs were noted. A polygenic risk score was utilized comprising all the SNPs and correlated with the treatment response (p = 0.04).
CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that genetic risk variants impact the treatment response of AIH in a gene-dosage-dependent manner. Furthermore, MBOAT7 and PNPLA3 mediated most of the observed effects, the latter explaining, in part, the predisposition of male subjects to worse treatment responses.
