Genetics of CYP450 Flashcards
what absence of activity polymorphism is relatively common?
CYP3A5
what absence of activity polymorphism is relatively rare?
CYP2A6
which two decrease in activity polymorphism is relatively common?
CYP2D6 & CYP2C19
which CYP has polymorphism which increases activity only?
CYP2E1
what is a typical substrate of CYP2D6
- contains a basic nitrogen
- and hydrophobic region
- mainly ionised at physiological pH
- cardiovascular agents, antipsychotics or antidepressants
What is almost exclusively metabolised by CYP2D6 to 4-OHD
Debrisoquine
what does the metabolic ratio of debrisoquine mean
Metabolic ratio of 1- amount of parent = metabolite
Ratio >1 = more parent, less metabolite
Ratio <1 = less parent, more metabolite
what is the average debrisoquine metabolic ratio
0.4 to 0.5
what are the 3 CYP2D6 allele which cause complete loss of function
*3 = A2539 deletion = frameshift
*4 = G1846A = splicing defect
*5 = Complete loss of CYP
which CYP2D6 alleles have reduced activity
9,10,*17
why are some people ‘ultrarapids’ in relation to CYP2D6
amplification, multiple number of copies
What are psuedogenes and how were they hypothesied to occur
-gene with no introns which cause amplification
- past infections from a virus which contain reverse transcriptase
what CYP2D6 allele is most common in europe
3,4,*5 and *6
what CYP2D6 allele is most common in china
*5 and *10
where is amplification of CYP2D6 most common
southern Europe and Africa
_ in Spain may reflect migration of population in Northern Africa, where gene _ are more common, when Spain and some of France was occupied by Islamic peoples from Northern Afric
Amplification
duplications
what are CYP2C19 known as
mephenytoin hydroxylase
_% of Europeans and _% of East Asians lack CYP2C19 activity
3 & 20
what are the two forms of mephenytoin
R = PEH + Nirvanol = metabolised by demethylases
S = 4-OH mephenytoin= metabolised by complete hydroxylases of ring
What are the CYP2C19 polymorphism which cause an absence of activity
2,3,4,5,6,7
what are the mutation responsible for absence of activity in CYP2C19
*2 = G681A- splicing defect
*3 = G636A - stop codon
*4 = A1G - no transcription
*5 = C1297T + R433W
*6 = G395A + R132Q
*7 = T->A in intron 5 - splicing defect
What is the CYP2C19 polymorphism which causes a decrease of activity
*8 = T358C + W120R
What is the CYP2C19 polymorphism which causes an increase of activity
*17 = C806T +C3402T
no gene duplication and polymorphism in upstream control sequence
how does *2 CYP2C19 allele effect
the wild type splice site (AGAT) is not efficient as normal AGGA, *2 alleles splice site is GGCA which is prefered over wildtypes’s.
this leads to an aberrant protein (unstable+premature termination of translation)
what type of polymorphism is *17 CYP2C19
Upstream polymorphism which causes higher activity due to more gene transcription
how does CYP2C19*17 allele effect drug metabolism (2)
-increased metabolism
- able to metabolsim both reactions of mephenytoin
what transcription factor interacts with sequences homologous to CYP2C19*17
GATA
who is 42 folds more likely to have the CYP2C19*17 over east asians
Mediterranean-southern europeans
true or false
there are very few CYP2C19 17/17 + 17/1 individuals
true
what are the substrates of CYP2A6
- Halothane, Valproic acid and Disulphiram
- Nicotine
- Procarcinogens
- Coumarin
why can some people not metabolise coumarin and what is the prevalence in Europe of ears asian
- genetic polymorphism in CYP2A6 causes an absense of coumarin 7-Hydroxylase
Europe = 0.2%
East asia = 3%
