Variant Annotations

PharmGKB variant annotations provide information about variant-drug pairs based on individual PubMed publications. Each annotation represents information from a single paper and the goal is to report the information that the author states, not an interpretation of the paper. The PMID for supporting PubMed publications is found in the "Evidence" field.

Information presented, including study size, allele frequencies and statistics is taken directly from the publication. However, if the author does not correct p-values in cases of multiple hypotheses, curators may apply a Bonferroni correction. Curators attempt to report study size based on the actual number of participants used for the calculation of the association statistics, so the number may vary slightly from what is reported in the abstract of the paper. OMB Race Category information is derived from the paper and mapped to standardized categories. Category definitions may be found by clicking on the "OMB Race Category" link.

VIP Variant in CYP2B6

The CYP2B6:516G>T variant was first reported to be associated with a slight but not significant reduction in hepatic CYP2B6 protein expression and activity [Article:11470993]. It is present in several haplotypes including the important haplotype, CYP2B6*6. This variant occurs more frequently in Blacks and African Americans as compared to Caucasians [Article:15622315]. Further study has shown impact of this variant on CYP2B6-mediated metabolism of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) [Article:15825040], although other studies with smaller samples sizes failed to show an effect [Article:16912956, 16912957]. The 516T variant has been associated with higher plasma exposure to efavirenz and may contribute towards efavirenz-associated central nervous system side effects [Article:15622315]. Conversely, the homozygous 516G variant results in sub-therapeutic plasma concentrations of efavirenz [Article:15825040, 18839779]. TT genotype for 516 has recently been associated with efavirenz pharmacokinetics as well as psychiatric side effects [Article:19531981, 19474465]. Recent studies have indicated that efavirenz dose modification for haplotypes including the 516G>T genotype may reduce side effects in adults [Article:17918089] and prevent subtherapeutic concentrations in children [Article:18839779]. In a recent study the composite CYP2B6:516G>T/983T>C genotype was significantly associated with plasma drug exposure and clearance for efavirenz but not nevirapine [Article:19239339]. However, larger prospective studies are needed to validate this association. In a recent study the composite CYP2B6:516G>T/983T>C genotype was significantly associated with plasma drug exposure and clearance for efavirenz but not nevirapine [Article:19239339].

Additionally, 516G>T has been associated with aberrant splicing of CYP2B6 (for more details see CYP2B6:SV1 [Article:18171905, 14551287].
