dependent upon functional CYP2D6 activity for conversion to the pharmacologically active species, such as codeine and tramadol.
110,111
Infants
and children appear capable of converting codeine to morphine,
112
achieving
morphine-to-codeine ratios comparable to those of adults.
113
However, in one study, morphine and its metabolites were not detected in 36% of children receiving codeine, and codeine analgesia was found to be unreliable in the studied pediatric population and not related to CYP2D6 phenotype.
114
At the other end of the phenotypic spectrum, an ultrarapid metabolizer genotype and phenotype has been associated with much greater morphine formation from codeine than anticipated, with potentially fatal consequences. The index case for this phenomenon was a child exposed to excessively high morphine concentrations through breast milk from his codeine-treated mother with three functional CYP2D6 alleles.
105
Since the initial case report, several additional case reports and case series or morphine toxicity from codeine prescribed to children have been reported. Due to the potential for both lack of efficacy and serious adverse events, the U.S. FDA limits the use of codeine and tramadol to patients older than 18 years (https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and­availability/fda-drug-safety-communication-fda-requires-labeling-changes­prescription-opioid-cough-and-cold). CPIC guidelines for codeine and tramadol have been published and updated,
115
but do not reflect the most recent
(2018) FDA recommendations.
In addition to the codeine example described above, CYP2D6 pharmacogenomics has been incorporated into dosing algorithms for additional medications, including atomoxetine and pimozide. One of the more relevant examples for pediatrics is atomoxetine, a nonstimulant drug used in the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Atomoxetine pharmacokinetics is associated with CYP2D6 genotype, and increased incidence of a number of adverse drug reactions have been observed in children taking atomoxetine who are CYP2D6 poor metabolizers, but concern has also been raised that extensive and ultrarapid CYP2D6 metabolizers may be at risk for poor response and require doses greater than approved doses.
116
As such, CPIC has published genotype-stratified guidelines for initial atomoxetine doses in children, and time until dosage escalation can proceed.
117
The genotype­stratified dosing recommendations for all CYP2D6-based CPIC guidelines are based on the concept of activity score, an ordinal system that converts CYP2D6 genotype calls into a predicted phenotype based on the relative activity the CYP2D6 protein encoded by the allelic variant, with values of “0” assigned to
nonfunctional alleles, such as *3, *4, *5, and *6; a value of “0.5” assigned to partial function alleles *9, *17, *29, and *41; and a score of “1” assigned to fully functional *1, *2, and *35 alleles.
118,119
Each allele in the diplotype is assigned a value, such that poor-metabolizer individuals with two nonfunctional alleles (e.g., CYP2D6 diplotypes such as CYP2D6*3/*4, CYP2D6*4/*6, or CYP2D6*5/*5) are assigned an activity score of 0, whereas individuals with diplotypes consisting of fully functional *1, *2, or *35 alleles (e.g., CYP2D6*1/*2, CYP2D6*2/*35) are assigned an activity score of 2. For gene duplication/multiplication events, the allele value is multiplied by the number of copies present: CYP2D6*1/*2x2 would be assigned an activity score of *1 = 1 plus *2×2 = 1×2 for a total activity score of 1+2 = 3. Similarly, a CYP2D6 diplotype of CYP2D6*4x2/*17 would have a score of 0×2 = 0 plus 0.5 for a total score of 0.5. In 2019, the score assigned to *10 was downgraded from a partial function allele with a value of 0.5 to a new value of 0.25,77 and a recent study confirms that inclusion of structural variants in the calculation of the activity score provides an improved estimate of activity from genotype data.

CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and CYP3A7
The CYP3A subfamily consists of four members in humans (CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP3A7, and CYP3A43) and is quantitatively the most important group of CYPs in terms of human hepatic drug biotransformation. These isoforms catalyze the oxidation of many different therapeutic entities, several of which are of potential importance to pediatric practice. CYP3A7 is the predominant CYP isoform in fetal liver and can be detected in embryonic liver as early as 50 to 60 days’ gestation.
121,122
CYP3A7 activity is maximal in the early neonatal period with a progressive decline thereafter. In contrast, CYP3A4 activity, the major CYP3A isoform in adults, is essentially absent in fetal liver but increases during the first week of postnatal life.
123,124
CYP3A4 is also abundantly expressed in the intestine where it contributes significantly to the first-pass metabolism of orally administered substrates, such as midazolam and tacrolimus.
125–127
Similar to the liver, the ontogeny of CYP3A4 protein expression in the intestine has also been described as progressively increasing in the first few years of life before plateauing to levels comparable to those seen in adults.
128
Several methods have been proposed for CYP3A phenotyping, and the
advantages and limitations of each have been reviewed in detail.
38,39
Using these
various phenotyping probes, CYP3A4 activity has been reported to vary widely
(up to 50-fold) among individuals, but the population distributions of activity are essentially unimodal and evidence for polymorphic activity has been elusive. Several allelic variants have been identified (https://www.pharmvar.org/gene/CYP3A4; see Table 5.1), but they occur relatively infrequently, and data are conflicting regarding clinical significance. One variant that has received attention is CYP3A4*22, originally reported as an intronic SNP associated with improved clinical response to simvastatin, a CYP3A4 substrate,
129
and subsequently reported to be associated with reduced
expression of CYP3A4 protein in vitro
130
and activity in vivo.
131
The potential effect of CYP3A4*22 on tacrolimus exposure and response has been described in several studies since the original report,
132
but currently, the CPIC guideline for tacrolimus dosing does not include any recommendations CYP3A4*22 genotype.
133
Prospective studies will need to be conducted to validate whether inclusion of CYP3A4*22 allele truly has a clinically meaningful role in achieving appropriate systemic tacrolimus exposure. In the interim, the Immunosuppressive Drugs Scientific Committee of the International Association of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Clinical Toxicity (IATDMCT) has recognized the potential importance of the *22 allele and recommend its inclusion as a covariate of interest in future pharmacokinetic studies to determine the drivers of interindividual variability in tacrolimus disposition and guide dose selection.
134
Of interest to pediatrics is the CYP3A4*1B allele present in the CYP3A4
promoter region.
135,136
The clinical significance of this allelic variant appears
limited with respect to drug biotransformation activity,
137–139
despite being associated with two-fold increased activity over the wild-type CYP3A4*1 allele in reporter gene assays in vitro.
140
Although there does not appear to be an association between the CYP3A4*1B allele and age of menarche as recalled in adulthood in one study,
141
a significant relationship does exist between the number of *1B alleles and onset of puberty as defined by Tanner breast score (odds ratio = 3.21; 95% confidence interval 1.62–6.89).
142
In this study, 90% of 9-year-old girls with a CYP3A4*1B/*1B genotype had a Tanner breast score ≥2 compared to 56% of CYP3A4*1A/*1B heterozygotes and 40% of girls homozygous for the CYP3A4*1A allele. Since CYP3A4 plays an important role in testosterone catabolism, the authors of the latter study proposed that the estradiol-to-testosterone ratio may be shifted toward higher values in the presence of the CYP3A4*1B allele and trigger the hormonal cascade that accompanies puberty.
CYP3A5 is polymorphically expressed, being present in approximately
25% of adult liver samples studied in vitro.
143,144
Expression of CYP3A5 is greatest in individuals of African ancestry, and loss of function in Caucasian livers is largely due to an SNP in intron 3 that creates a cryptic splice site and gives rise to splice variants that carry premature stop codons.
144
Even more so than with CYP3A4, genetic polymorphisms in CYP3A5 have shown to be associated with tacrolimus pharmacokinetics, but as with CYP3A4, IATDMCT guidelines do not currently include CYP3A5 genotype in the dosage selection process.
134
Conversely, the guidelines issued by CPIC call for increasing the starting dosage of tacrolimus, in conjunction with TDM, in adult CYP3A5 intermediate and normal metabolizers relative to CYP3A5 nonexpressers.
133
While CPIC has not released official CYP3A5 genotype–guided recommendations for tacrolimus dosing in the pediatric population, they conclude that based on the available data, extrapolation of the adult recommendations to children “seems appropriate.”
133
CYP3A7 is unusual in that it is expressed at high levels in human fetal
liver
124
and plays a critical role during pregnancy through the formation of the 16α-hydroxy metabolite of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S), the process by which a third hydroxyl group is added to DHEA-S prior to final formation of estriol by placental syncytiotrophoblasts. Other substrates of CYP3A7 include retinoic acid and a wide range of foreign compounds that gain access to the fetus from the maternal circulation. Many drugs prescribed during pregnancy, such as glyburide for gestational diabetes, have been shown to cross the placenta, and residual drug in the child following delivery may be dependent on CYP3A7 for metabolic clearance.
145
Therefore, variability in CYP3A7 activity following delivery may be a determinant of postnatal hypoglycemia in neonates exposed to glyburide in utero. Genetic polymorphisms have been identified in CYP3A7 that have yielded conflicting results regarding their contribution to enzymatic function. A notable example is the CYP3A7*2 allele that occurs at a relatively low frequency in Caucasians (8%) and Asians (28%) compared with Africans (68%). Although the CYP3A7.2 protein product has been associated with 20% to 25% higher activity than the CYP3A7.1 enzyme in vitro,
146
no significant differences in DHEA 16α-hydroxylation activity were observed in livers genotyped for CYP3A7*1 and CYP3A7*2.
147
Given the recent observation of sex-dependent
effects of genetic variants in CYP3A4 and CYP3A7,
148
the functional
consequences of genetic variation in fetal liver CYP3A7 warrant further
investigation. Persistence of fetal CYP3A7 mRNA in adult liver has been partially attributed to the CYP3A7*1C allele in which a set of seven tightly linked variants essentially replace 60 bp of the CYP3A7 promoter with the identical sequence from CYP3A4.
144
Glucuronosyl Transferases
The UGT gene superfamily catalyzes the conjugation of substrates with glucuronic acid. The ontogeny of protein abundance for several UGTs in the human liver has been characterized, with expression of UGT1A1, UGT1A4, UGT1A6, UGT1A9, UGT2B7, and UGT2B15 all reported to increase with age.
149
Both drugs and endogenous compounds
150
have been identified as substrates for UGTs, and the implications of genetic variation in UGTs on drug dosing have been extensively reviewed.
151
UGT1A1 is the major UGT gene product responsible for bilirubin glucuronidation, and more than 60 genetic alterations have been reported, most of which are rare and are more properly considered mutations rather than gene polymorphisms. Inheritance of two defective alleles is associated with reduced bilirubin-conjugating activity and gives rise to clinical conditions such as Crigler-Najjar syndrome and Gilbert syndrome. More frequently occurring polymorphisms involve a dinucleotide (TA) repeat in the atypical TATA box of the UGT1A1 promoter. The wild-type UGT1A1*1 allele has six repeats (TA6), and the TA5 (UGT1A1*33), TA
7
(UGT1A1*28), and TA8 (UGT1A1*34) variants are all associated with reduced activity. UGT1A1*28 is the most frequent variant and is a contributory factor to prolonged neonatal jaundice
152,153
and toxicity of the irinotecan-active
metabolite, SN-38.
154,155
Currently, the FDA recommends reductions in
irinotecan dose in patients who are homozygous for the *28 allele.
156
The antiretroviral, atazanavir, is known to inhibit UGT1A1 and lead to hyperbilirubinemia. This adverse event is more common in poor metabolizers, presumably due to reduced basal UGT1A1-mediated clearance of bilirubin.
157
As such, CPIC has issued a recommendation that atazanavir not be used in adults who possess two reduced function alleles.
158
While specific pediatric recommendations are not included, they state that the adult guidelines may be directly adapted to children.
158
Polymorphisms in UGT1A4 have also been identified, with the UGT1A4*2 allele resulting in the substitution of a proline to a threonine residue upstream of the normal cleavage site for the formation of the mature protein. Diminished
catalytic activity has been observed for the mature UGT1A4*2 protein product.
159
Conversely, another variant allele, UGT1A4*3, may have enhanced activity of its mature protein product. The UGT1A4*3 allele has been associated with increased glucuronidation of olanzapine and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3.
160,161
However, one study evaluating the effects of the UGT1A4*3 allele on dose-normalized concentrations of lamotrigine in children yielded conflicting results, complicating the interpretation of the genotype–phenotype relationship.
162
Several allelic variants of other important UGTs involved in
drug biotransformation (UGT1A6 and UGT2B7) have also been reported,
151
but the lack of isoform-specific probe compounds analogous to dextromethorphan for CYP2D6 has precluded a clear understanding of the clinical impact of polymorphisms in these genes, with some exceptions80; issues related to developmental trajectory adding further complexity to genotype–phenotype associations. Nevertheless, from a pediatric perspective, genetic variation in the promoter region of UGT1A9 has been reported to influence glucuronidation of acetaminophen in newborns administered intravenous acetaminophen. Specifically, insertion of an extra thymidine in a run of nine sequential thymidine residues (T9) to form a T10 motif was associated in a 42% reduction in the formation of acetaminophen glucuronide.
163
Expression of UGT2B17 protein is perhaps the most variable of the UGTs in children and adolescents, being influenced by sex (~2.6-fold higher in males and females), age (minimally expressed in children less than 9 years of age and increases during puberty), and genetic variation (SNPs and CNV).
164
Its primary function is sex hormone homeostasis, especially androgens such as testosterone and dihydrotestosterone. Although a limited number of drugs are also UGT2B17 substrates, the consequences of variable activity on clearances of these agents have not been investigated in pediatric patients.
Arylamine N-Acetyltransferases
One the earliest discovered and most widely recognized genetic polymorphisms is the arylamine N-acetyltransferase-2 (NAT2) polymorphism. Approximately 50% of Caucasians and African Americans residing on the North American continent are phenotypically slow metabolizers placing a substantial number of individuals at increased risk for the development of adverse drug effects, such as sulfasalazine-induced hemolysis, hydrazine- or arylamine-induced peripheral neuropathy, procainamide- or isoniazid-induced lupus erythematosus, and
Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) or toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) associated with sulfonamide administration.
165
NAT2 function is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner with the inheritance of two “slow” alleles required for expression of the slow-metabolizer phenotype. The relative proportion of rapid and slow metabolizers varies considerably with ethnic or geographic origin. For example, the percentage of slow acetylators among Canadian Eskimos is 5% but approaches 90% in some Mediterranean populations.
166
According to the standardized NAT2 nomenclature, the wild-type and three additional “fast” alleles give rise to the rapid acetylator phenotype, while nine “slow” alleles have been described.
82
In vivo, using caffeine as a phenotyping probe, all infants between the ages of 0 and 55 days appear to be phenotypically slow acetylators, while 50% and 62% of infants between the ages of 122 to 224 and 225 to 342 days, respectively, can be characterized as fast acetylators.41 Several independent studies indicate that maturation of the NAT2 phenotype occurs during the first 4 years of life.
40,167,168
Thus, phenotype–genotype discordance is likely to be most apparent in the first 2 to 4 months of life, and drugs highly dependent on NAT2 function for their elimination should be used with caution.
Thiopurine S-methyltransferase
TPMT is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the S-methylation of aromatic and heterocyclic sulfur-containing compounds, such as 6-mercaptopurine, azathioprine, and 6-thioguanine, that are used in the treatment of several pediatric diseases and disorders including acute lymphoblastic anemia (ALL), inflammatory bowel disease, and juvenile arthritis and to prevent renal allograft rejection. To exert its cytotoxic effects, 6-mercaptopurine requires metabolism to thioguanine nucleotides (TGNs) by a multistep process that is initiated by hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase. TPMT prevents TGN production by methylating 6-mercaptopurine (Fig. 5.5A). TPMT activity is usually measured in blood with activity in erythrocytes reflecting that found in other tissues, including liver and leukemic blasts. While approximately 89% of Caucasians and African Americans have high TPMT activity and 11% have intermediate activity, 1 in 300 individuals inherit TPMT deficiency as an autosomal recessive trait (Fig. 5.5B).83 In patients with intermediate or low activity, more drug is shunted toward production of cytotoxic TGNs. TPMT can
also methylate 6-thioinosine 5′-monophosphate (TIMP) to generate a methylated metabolite that is capable of inhibiting de novo purine synthesis (Fig. 5.5C).
Figure 5.5 The 6-thioinosine 5′-monophosphate (TPMT) polymorphism. A: 6-Mercaptopurine (6MP)
undergoes metabolism to thioguanine nucleotides (TGNs) to exert its cytotoxic effects. TPMT and xanthine
oxidase reduce the amount of 6MP available for the bioactivation pathway to TGNs. TPMT can also methylate TIMP to generate a methylated compound capable of inhibiting de novo purine synthesis. B : Distribution of TPMT activity in humans. In all, 89% of the population has high activity, while 11% have intermediate activity. Approximately 1 in 300 individuals. A is homozygous for two loss of functional alleles and thus has very low activity. C: Correlation between TPMT genotype and intracellular TGN concentrations. In TPMT poor metabolizers, more 6MP is available to go down the bioactivation pathway to form TGNs and is associated with an increased risk of myelosuppression. D: The most common variant TPMT allele is the result of two mutations that give rise to an unstable protein product that undergoes proteolytic degradation. (Modified with permission from Nature Reviews Cancer 1:99–108 copyright 2001, Macmillan Magazines Ltd; Kim SH, Kim M, Lee KW, et al. HLA-B*5901 is strongly associated with methazolamide-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis. Pharmacogenomics 2010;11:879–884.)
Conflicting relationships between age and TPMT activity have been reported in children. In one study, peripheral blood TPMT activity in newborns was reported to be 50% greater than in race-matched adults and demonstrated a distribution of activity consistent with the polymorphism characterized in adults.
169
In contrast, TPMT activities were comparable to previously reported adult values in a population of Korean school children (n = 309) aged 7 to 9 years
170
and in French Caucasian children (n = 165) hospitalized for day
surgery.
171
Considerable interindividual variability in TPMT activity exists for both pediatric and adult populations consistently, with genetic variation being the primary driver of the observed variability.
Several genetic variants contribute to the TPMT poor-metabolizer phenotype. The *2, *3A, *3B, *3C, and *4 alleles are all considered nonfunctional and clinically actionable under CPIC thiopurine dosing guidelines.
172
Although the *3A allele has only a frequency of 0.03% in the general population, it is the most common variant and represents 55% of all mutant alleles. TMPT*3A is characterized by two nucleotide transition mutations, G460A and A719G, that lead to two amino acid substitutions Ala154Thr and Tyr240Cys (Fig. 5.5D). Either variant alone results in loss of functional activity through the production of unstable proteins that are subject to accelerated proteolytic degradation.
173,174
Less frequent allelic variants involve SNPs that produce amino acid substitutions in the coding region and defective intron–exon splicing.
A polymorphic locus has been identified in the promoter region of the TPMT gene involving a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) in which three to nine repeats of a specific nucleotide sequence occur in tandem.
175,176
The VNTR polymorphism modulates TPMT activity when expressed in vitro,
177
apparently by a mechanism involving gene transcription.
178
In vivo, the VNTR
