The minor allele(A) on the CES1 SNP rs2244613 was associated with increased trough plasma dabigatran concentrations and a higher risk for minor bleeding (OR 2.71; 95% CI 1.05-7.00; P=0.034).
Observational (n=198)
Do ABCB1 and CES1 genetic polymorphisms affect dabigatran pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and bleeding risk in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation?
CES1 genetic polymorphisms (rs8192935 and rs2244613) significantly alter dabigatran pharmacokinetics and increase minor bleeding risk in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.
Odds Ratio: 2.71 (95% CI 1.05–7)
p-value: p=0.034
AIMS: Our study aimed to determine the impact of genetic polymorphisms of ABCB1 and CES1 on the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of dabigatran in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). METHODS: We conducted a prospective study and enrolled NVAF patients treated with dabigatran. Blood samples were obtained from each patient and used for genotyping and determination of plasma dabigatran concentration (PDC) and coagulation parameters including activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and thrombin time. Patients' demographics and clinical outcomes from scheduled follow-up visits were all recorded. Statistical analysis was performed to identify the impact of genetic polymorphisms on the PK/PD and bleeding risk of dabigatran. RESULTS: A total of 198 patients were included in analysis. For the ABCB1 polymorphisms rs4148738 and rs1045642, no significant association was found with dabigatran PK/PD. For the CES1 polymorphism rs8192935, the minor allele(C) was associated with increased trough PDCs (ANOVA: P < .001; CC vs. TT genotype, P < .001; CT vs. TT genotype, P = .014) and with APTT values at trough level (P = .015). For the CES1 polymorphism rs2244613, the minor allele(A) carriers had higher levels of trough PDC than noncarriers (ANOVA: P < .001; AA vs. CC genotype, P < .001; CA vs. CC genotype, P = .004) and increased risk for minor bleeding (P = .034; odds ratio = 2.71, 95% confidence interval 1.05-7.00). CONCLUSION: Our study indicated that the minor allele(C) on the CES1 SNP rs8192935 was associated with PDCs and APTT values at trough level. The minor allele(A) on the CES1 SNP rs2244613 was associated with increased trough PDCs and higher risk for minor bleeding in NVAF patients treated with dabigatran.
Ji et al. (2020) conducted an observational in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) (n=198). CES1 and ABCB1 genetic polymorphisms vs. Noncarriers / wild-type genotypes was evaluated on minor bleeding (OR 2.71, 95% CI 1.05-7.00, p=0.034). The minor allele(A) on the CES1 SNP rs2244613 was associated with increased trough plasma dabigatran concentrations and a higher risk for minor bleeding (OR 2.71; 95% CI 1.05-7.00; P=0.034).
