Pharmacogenetics of nevirapine-associated hepatotoxicity: an Adult AIDS Clinical Trials Group collaboration

Clin Infect Dis. 2006 Sep 15;43(6):783-6. doi: 10.1086/507097. Epub 2006 Aug 15.

Abstract

Associations have been reported between an MDR1 variant and responses to nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors. We explored associations between MDR1, CYP2B6, and CYP3A polymorphisms and nevirapine hepatotoxicity. Among participants in a randomized study in South Africa (FTC-302), MDR1 3435C-->T was significantly associated with decreased risk of hepatotoxicity (risk ratio, 0.30; P=.016).
