Abstract
- To identify the potential factors responsible for the individual variability of dabigatran, we investigated the genetic variations associated with clinical outcomes and pharmacodynamics (PD) in Chinese patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF).Chinese patients with NVAF taking dabigatran etexilate with therapeutic doses were enrolled. The primary (bleeding events) and secondary (thromboembolic and major adverse cardiac events) outcomes for a 2-year follow-up were evaluated. Peak and trough PD parameters (anti-FIIa activity, activated partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time) were detected. Whole-exome sequencing, genome-wide sequencing and candidate gene association analyses were performed.There were 170 patients with NVAF treated with dabigatran (110 mg twice daily) who were finally included. Two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were significantly related with bleeding, which include UBASH3B rs2276408 (odds ratio [OR] = 8.79, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.99-25.83, p = 7.77 × 10Genetic variations indeed affected bleeding and PD in Chinese patients with NVAF treated with dabigatran. The functions of these suggestive genes and SNPs might further be explored and verified in more in vivo and in vitro investigations.
