Exome sequencing allows detection of relevant pharmacogenetic variants in epileptic patients

Résumé

Beyond the identification of causal genetic variants in the diagnosis of Mendelian disorders, exome sequencing can detect numerous variants with potential relevance for clinical care. Clinical interventions can thus be conducted to improve future health outcomes for patients and their at-risk relatives, such as predicting late-onset genetic disorders accessible to prevention, treatment or identifying differential drug efficacy and safety. To evaluate the interest of such pharmacogenetic information, we designed an "in house" pipeline to determine the status of 122 PharmGKB (Pharmacogenomics Knowledgebase) variant-drug combinations in 31 genes. This pipeline was applied to a cohort of 90 epileptic patients who had previously an exome sequencing (ES) analysis, to determine the frequency of pharmacogenetic variants. We performed a retrospective analysis of drug plasma concentrations and treatment efficacy in patients bearing at least one relevant PharmGKB variant. For PharmGKB level 1A variants, CYP2C9 status for phenytoin prescription was the only relevant information. Nineteen patients were treated with phenytoin, among phenytointreated patients, none were poor metabolizers and four were intermediate metabolizers. While being treated with a standard protocol (10-23 mg/kg/30 min loading dose followed by 5 mg/kg/8 h maintenance dose), all identified intermediate metabolizers had toxic plasma concentrations (20 mg/L). In epileptic patients, pangenomic sequencing can provide information about common pharmacogenetic variants likely to be useful to guide therapeutic drug monitoring, and in the case of phenytoin, to prevent clinical toxicity caused by high plasma levels.
