Association of rs1495741 Single Nucleotide Polymorphism with Susceptibility of Anti-tuberculosis Drug-induced Hepatotoxicity
Objective To investigate the potential association between the polymorphism of N- acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) gene and anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity (ATDH) in Han population. Methods The SNP rs1495741 was genotyped by using multiplex ligation detection reaction (MLDR) technique, and logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the association between this SNP and the susceptibility of ATDH. Results There were 247 PTB patients enrolled in this study, including 24 ATDH, and 223 controls (PTB without ATDH). No significant difference in genotype and allele distribution was observed for rs1495741 in NAT2 between the controls and ATDH group. After adjusting age, sex, body mass index (BMI) and smoking history, the SNP of rs1495741 showed a significant association with ATDH 〔odds ratio (OR)=2.728 (95% confidence interval: 1.022-7.281)〕 under recessive model （AA vs. GA+GG）. Conclusion The rs1495741 in NAT2 seems related to the development of ATDH among PTB patients, AA genotype of rs1495741 may be a causative factor for increased susceptibility to ATDH.
