There are Three Important Variants for ABCB1.

  1. ABCB1:1236C>T (rs1128503)
  2. ABCB1:2677G>A/T (rs2032582)
  3. ABCB1:3435C>T (rs1045642)


1. ABCB1:1236C>T (rs1128503)

Gene HGNC Name: ABCB1
Variant Summary: This SNP is positioned at 1236 with respect to the translation start site. The body of work studying the effect of the 1236 C>T synonymous SNP is fairly small, with no conclusive findings to date. The majority of reports involving the 1236 SNP consider this polymorphism in its naturally occurring haplotype *13 (see below). This SNP is in exon 12.

2. ABCB1:2677G>A/T (rs2032582)

Gene HGNC Name: ABCB1
Variant Summary: This SNP is positioned at 2677 with respect to the translation start site. The 2677 G> A/T SNP has been well studied because it is a high-frequency, non-synonymous variant. Associations between this SNP and P-gp function or expression have not been conclusively determined. Several studies have reported significant correlations between genotype and a P-gp-related phenotype (e.g. multidrug resistance), but others have found no relationship. The 2677 SNP has been extensively studied in the *13 haplotype. This SNP is in exon 21.

3. ABCB1:3435C>T (rs1045642)

Gene HGNC Name: ABCB1
Variant Summary: This SNP is positioned at 3435 with respect to the translation start site. The 3435 C>T synonymous SNP in exon 26 was first implicated in a change in P-gp function in 2000, when Hoffmeyer et al. correlated the TT genotype with lower duodenal P-gp expression and higher digoxin plasma levels than CC genotype after an oral dose [PMID: 10716719]. This report generated much interest in the 3435 SNP, and subsequent studies attempted to reproduce the Hoffmeyer paper, with varying results. The existing literature is not conclusive about the effects of this SNP, alone or in the *13 haplotype, on P-gp function or expression.
