The effect of ABCB1 polymorphism on sirolimus in renal transplant recipients: a meta-analysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Sirolimus (SRL) is an immunosuppressive drug and substrate of the P-glycoprotein (P-GP) encoded by ABCB1. The relationship between ABCB1 polymorphism and the pharmacokinetics of SRL in different studies were conflicting in renal transplant recipients. Thus, this meta-analysis aims to investigate the influence of ABCB1 C3435T, C1236T, and G2677T/A polymorphisms on the dose-adjusted trough level (C/D) of SRL in renal transplant recipients. Methods: PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched for relevant studies. The quality of each eligible study was assessed according to Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The STATA 15.0 was adopted to perform the meta-analysis. The fixed-effects model was used for pooled results with low heterogeneity (I2 ≤50%); otherwise, the random-effects model was used. Results: A total of 6 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Results of pooled analysis showed no significant association of SRL C/D ratio with ABCB1 C3435T polymorphism. The subgroup analysis based on different ethnic groups and different time-points after SRL initiation in renal transplant recipients were also conducted. No significant association was observed in these subgroups. Significant associations were showed between ABCB1 C1236T polymorphism and the C/D ratio of SRL in the homozygous model (TT vs. CC; WMD: −45.54; 95% CI: −75.15, −15.94; P=0.003), and also in subgroup of Caucasian (TT vs. CC; WMD: −46.57; 95% CI: −91.90, −1.25; P=0.044 and TT vs. CC + CT; WMD: −52.10; 95% CI: −95.38, −8.82; P=0.018). Significant differences were found in association between the ABCB1 G2677T/A polymorphism and the C/D ratio of SRL, including the homozygous model (TT vs. GG; WMD: −76.47; 95% CI: −126.37, −26.58; P= 0.003), the heterozygous model (GT vs. GG,WMD: 178.62; 95% CI: 125.03, 232.22; P= 0.000), the dominant model (GT + TT vs. GG; WMD: 82.23; 95% CI: 36.28, 128.17; P=0.000), the recessive model (TT vs. GG + GT; WMD: −179.38; 95% CI: −283.33, −75.42; P=0.001), and the over-dominant model (GT vs. GG + TT; WMD: 199.44; 95% CI: 84.84, 314.05; P=0.001). Conclusions: No significant association exists between ABCB1 C3435T polymorphism and the C/D ratio of SRL in renal transplant recipients. To achieve target therapeutic concentrations, ABCB1 C1236T homozygous mutant TT genotype will require a higher dose of sirolimus than wild type GG, especially in Caucasian renal transplant recipients. ABCB1 G2677T/A TT genotype will also need a higher dose of sirolimus genotype. Genotyping of ABCB1 might help to improve the individualization of SRL for renal transplant recipients. Further studies are expected to provide high-quality evidence.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
