Abstract:
The study was designed to investigate the effect of
IMPDH1 gene polymorphism on the pharmacodynamics of mycophenolic acid in the renal transplant patients. 315 patients with renal transplantation were treated with triple immunotherapy (mycophenolic acid + tacrolimus + prednisone). The Agena MassARRAY assay was used to detect the
IMPDH1 genotypes in patients above. The plasma drug concentration of mycophenolic acid (MPA) and its main metabolite mycophenolic acid glucuronide (MPAG) was detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The correlation between
IMPDH1 gene polymorphism (rs10954183, rs12536006, rs13242340, rs2278293, rs2288549) and rejection and postoperative infection in renal transplant recipients were analyzed by SPSS 21 software. The result showed that
IMPDH1 rs2288549 GG is a risk factor for acute rejection after renal transplantation (
P<0.05), and
IMPDH1 rs2278293 CT is a risk factor for infection after renal transplantation (
P<0.05). Above all,
IMPDH1 rs2288549 is an important factor of acute rejection after renal transplantation,
IMPDH1 rs2278293 is an important factor affecting the emergence of infection after renal transplantation. The SNPs may help to optimize clinical medication to reduce the incidence of adverse reaction.
