Comparison of CYP2C9 , CYP2C19 , CYP2D6 , ABCB1 , and SLCO1B1 gene-polymorphism frequency in Russian and Nanai populations

The efficiency and safety of drug therapy depends on the peculiarities of functioning of the P450 cytochrome group and transporting proteins. There are significant differences for single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) frequency. We studied the peculiarities of P450 cytochrome polymorphisms, SLCO1B1 transporting protein, and P-glycoprotein carriage in healthy volunteers in the Nanai ethnic group living in Russia, and compared them to the carriage of SNPs in the Russian population according to literature data. After performing the real-time polymerase chain reactions on the samples from 70 healthy volunteers from the Nanai group, for the polymorphism we determined 70 CC-genotype carriers. As for the polymorphism, we found 62 AA-genotype carriers and eight AC-genotype carriers. For the polymorphism, we determined 39 GG-genotype carriers and 28 GA-genotype carriers, for the polymorphism 58 GG-genotype carriers and 12 GA-genotype carriers, and for the polymorphism 67 CC-genotype carriers and three CT-genotype carriers. For the polymorphism, the GG genotype had 68 carriers, and the GA genotype two carriers. For the polymorphism, there were 19 CC-genotype carriers and 39 CT-genotype carriers. For the polymorphism, the TT genotype had 41 carriers and the CT genotype 25 carriers. The distribution of genotypes fitted the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for all the polymorphisms, except those of . There were also significant differences in allele frequencies for some polymorphisms between the Nanais and the Russians. In the Nanai population, there are polymorphisms connected with the decrease in safety and efficiency of drug therapy. Studying the ethnic differences might influence the determination of priority in the introduction of pharmacogenetic tests in clinical practice in different regions of Russia.
