occurs most commonly as four (*V4) or five (*V5) repeats, and the *V4/*V5 diplotype has been associated with higher erythrocyte TPMT activity compared to *V4/*V4 or *V5/*V5 diplotypes in one study,
176
and *V6 was associated with
decreased levels of TPMT in another study.
179
In childhood ALL patients, TPMT expression has been observed to increase 1.5- to 7.9-fold during the maintenance phase relative to the beginning of treatment, with VNTR*5a/*5a carriers having the highest levels of TPMT expression during maintenance treatment, even though they exhibited low expression prior to treatment. In contrast, carriers of the VNTR*7a allele had the lowest level of enzyme expression prior to treatment and the lowest increase in activity during the maintenance phase.
180
Thus, the VNTR polymorphism in the regulatory region of the TPMT gene affects the level of gene expression, whereas allelic variation in the coding region of the TPMT gene primarily affects the catalytic activity of the expressed enzyme.
The small percentage of patients with low to absent TPMT activity is at increased risk for developing severe myelosuppression if treated with routine doses of thiopurines, and the most recent CPIC guideline recommends a 10-fold reduction of dose and reduced frequency from daily to three times per week to minimize the risk of toxicity; CPIC also recommends decreases in dosing and adjustment based on the degree of myelosuppression for TPMT intermediate metabolizers as well.
172
Furthermore, poor metabolizers may be at increased risk of relapse consequent to inadequate or absent treatment with the thiopurines. In the context of the expanding use of 6-mercaptopurine and azathioprine in pediatrics to treat inflammatory bowel disease and juvenile arthritis and to prevent renal allograft rejection, TPMT deficiency is not a trivial matter, and risk-to-benefit considerations will differ compared to ALL.
The 2019 thiopurine pharmacogenomics-based dosing guidelines have also
incorporated NUDT15 polymorphisms alongside TPMT.
172
Nudix hydrolase 15, the protein product of NUDT15, acts as a nucleoside diphosphatase capable of transforming genotoxic thioguanine triphosphate compounds into less toxic monophosphates. Among the identified genetic variants, the NUDT15*2 and NUDT15*3 alleles are currently the most understood with regard to functional impact. Patients who possess two copies of these alleles or one of each are considered poor metabolizers, while those with one copy of *2 or *3 and a function allele (e.g., *1) are classified as intermediate metabolizers. Deficiencies in both pathways should be considered for thiopurine dosing. For instance, the likelihood of requiring a dosing adjustment would be expected to
be greater in a TPMT intermediate metabolizer who is also a nudix hydrolase 15 intermediate metabolizer when compared to an individual with solely a TPMT intermediate-metabolizer status.
172
An association between TPMT deficiencies and cisplatin-mediated toxicity in cancer patients has been reported, with children apparently at a disproportionate risk of developing hearing loss after taking cisplatin.
181
This
finding has been replicated by some investigators,
182
but not others,
183
and
remains controversial.

Carboxylesterases
The observation that heritable butyrylcholinesterase deficiency resulted in prolonged paralysis following succinylcholine administration was one of the foundational discoveries in the field of pharmacogenetics. Since then, our understanding of the role of esterases in metabolism and bioactivation of drugs and prodrugs has greatly expanded. While multiple esterases are now recognized to affect the disposition of drugs, attention has been directed toward carboxylesterases 1 (CES1) and 2 (CES2) in particular. CES1 and CES2 are part of a broader family of esterases and are responsible for the cleavage of carboxylic esters into an alcohol and a carboxylate moiety. While there exists extensive substrate overlap between the two isoforms, CES1 preferentially hydrolyzes esters with relatively small alcohol substituents and larger acyl substituent, while CES2 generally favors the reverse.
186
In humans, CES2 is extensively present in both the liver and the intestine, while CES1 is preferentially expressed in the liver.
186
Expression of both CES1 and CES2 increases fivefold and threefold, respectively, in the liver from birth to adulthood.
187,188
While genetic polymorphisms have been identified for both carboxylesterases, there is currently more evidence supporting the clinical importance of CES1 genetics. It has been observed that children with a reduced function polymorphism resulting in an amino acid substitution from glycine to glutamic acid at position 143 in the CES1 protein require a higher dose of methylphenidate than those with the wild-type allele.
189
Increased exposure to the active metabolite of clopidogrel, which is cleared by CES1, and subsequent clinical responsiveness, has also been observed in adults with this variant.
190
The underlying mechanism of these associations was elucidated by independent observations of substantially reduced catalytic activity in the CES1 protein
product of this genetic polymorphism.
191
It is worth noting that genetic polymorphisms in CES1 have also been associated with alterations in the biotransformation of oseltamivir, a drug frequently reserved for use in infants and other populations at high risk for influenza-related complications.
192,193
DRUG TRANSPORTERS AND LOCAL DRUG CONCENTRATIONS
While somewhat overshadowed by the abundance of information on the pharmacogenomics of drug-metabolizing enzymes, there exists a number of convincing examples of the importance of transporter pharmacogenomics in drug action and disposition. Some transporters represent direct targets for therapeutic agents. Examples include the sodium glucose transporter 2 inhibitors used in the treatment of diabetes and ivacaftor for cystic fibrosis. When a transporter is a direct target of pharmacologic action, polymorphisms in the genes encoding for the transporter can play a role in determining the presence or magnitude of drug response. A particularly relevant example for pediatrics involves the treatment of cystic fibrosis with ivacaftor. Ivacaftor is a potentiator of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, and chloride channel that is defective in individuals with cystic fibrosis. Only certain mutations that impair CFTR function will respond to potentiation via ivacaftor. As such, the CPIC guidelines for ivacaftor state that a patient should be genotyped as positive for the G551D mutation in CFTR in order to receive the drug.
194
While examples of genotype­dependent requirements for pharmacologic action are especially compelling in making a case for the utility of transporter pharmacogenetics, most of the known instances where transporter pharmacogenetics influences drug therapy relate to their role in modulating systemic pharmacokinetics. Over the past two decades, research in the field of drug transporters has expanded to also include an equally important emphasis on their role in modulating local drug concentrations at intracellular sites of metabolic clearance, toxicity, and therapeutic action. This effect is most pronounced in the case of active transporters (i.e., those directly or indirectly dependent upon cellular energy sources to function), which can operate against drug concentration gradients and are, therefore, capable of maintaining intracellular drug concentrations that are many-fold greater or less than those of the surrounding extracellular environment. In their role in modulating local concentrations, a useful functional
classification for discussing drug transporters is to divide them into uptake transporters, those that bring drug molecules into cells, and efflux transporters, those that remove drug molecules from cells. Uptake transporters are typically members of the solute carrier (SLC) superfamily, but members of ABC transporter family also mediate the active cellular uptake of drugs.
Organic Anion Transporter Polypeptides
Organic anion–transporting polypeptides (OATPs) are a subfamily of SLC uptake transporters, and four OATP transporters, OATP1A2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and OATP2B1, are widely recognized for their importance in drug disposition. Targeted proteomics and more traditional immunoblot-based methods have revealed that OATPs are expressed in a diversity of tissues, with OATP1A2 and OATP2B1 being almost ubiquitously expressed.
195
By comparison, OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 protein expression is largely restricted to the liver.
196–198
According to recent studies utilizing targeted proteomics, hepatic OATP1B3 expression is present at birth and increases as a child approaches adulthood, whereas OATP1B1 and OATP2B1 expression remains relatively unchanged.
199
It is worth noting that prior studies relying upon Western Blot, real-time PCR (for mRNA), and transporter activity assays in primary hepatocytes suggest differing maturation profile, and further confirmatory studies are warranted.
OATP1B1 has a particularly well-defined role in modulating the pharmacokinetics of statins and other substrates. A considerable amount of attention has been paid to assessing the impact of genetic polymorphisms in SLCO1B1, the gene encoding OATP1B1, on statin pharmacotherapy. In particular, the 521T>C SNP resulting in a change from valine to an alanine at residue 174 has repeatedly been associated with greater plasma concentrations and increased risk of myopathies in individuals taking statins.
200–204
Based on this and other SLCO1B1 polymorphisms, over 30 haplotypes have been assigned. Alterations in in vivo drug disposition or response have been observed for several haplotypes, including *1B, *5, *14, *15, *17, and
*27.
205,206
Interestingly, while most of the variant SLCO1B1 haplotypes are associated with reductions in OATP1B1-mediated transport, the *14 haplotype was found to be associated with increased OATP1B1 protein expression in the liver.
207
Not all statins are affected to the same extent by SLCO1B1 haplotypes,
and of the currently marketed statins, simvastatin acid is most affected.
208–211
Current CPIC guidelines recommend the carriers of the *5, *15, or *17 haplotype receive a reduced dose of simvastatin acid or an alternate HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor.
212
Generally speaking, genotype–phenotype associations for SLCO1B1*5 and systemic exposure of simvastatin acid and pravastatin are similar between children/adolescents and adults,
204,213
but interindividual variability within a genotype group is greater than the difference between genotype groups, indicating that additional nongenetic factors are also important.
Organic Cation Transporters
Organic cation transporters (OCTs) are a group of uptake transporters within subfamily 22 of the SLC family (i.e., SLC22A). OCTs have been implicated in the modulation of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of cationic drugs, such as cisplatin, citalopram, lamivudine, metformin, morphine, ondansetron, and sumatriptan. Some drugs are transported preferentially by certain OCTs, but there exists considerable substrate overlap among isoforms. Whereas OCT1 and OCT2 are enriched in the liver and kidney proximal tubule, respectively, OCT3 is expressed more ubiquitously across tissues.
195
Genetic polymorphisms have been identified in SLC22A1, SLC22A2, and SLC22A3, the genes encoding for OCT1, OCT2, and OCT3, respectively.
Six haplotypes (*1 through *6) have been described for SLC22A1 based on the five reduced function polymorphisms (262T>C, 286C>T, 1306G>A, 1365GAT>del, and 1498G>C), and their impact on pharmacokinetics has been evaluated. Reduced clearance of morphine was observed in children who carry two reduced function variants (*2, *3, *4, or *5); the *6 haplotype was not evaluated.
214
A subsequent study in neonates demonstrated similar findings relating to the *2 through *5 haplotypes and additionally observed reduced morphine clearance with the *6 variant.
215
The *3 through *6 variants, but not *2, have also been associated with decreased clearance of fenoterol and sumatriptan in adults.
216,217
For SLC22A1 polymorphisms, associations between the decreased function haplotypes and alterations in pharmacokinetics have been attributed to impaired OCT1-mediated uptake into the liver, the principle organ of elimination for most of the implicated drugs. However, in addition to the liver, OCT1 is also present in the intestinal epithelia, and the potential for OCT1 polymorphisms to alter oral bioavailability and absorption rate should also be considered.
196
Because the intestine and liver are the sites of pharmacologic effects for many drugs, impairments in OCT1 function have the potential to alter the apparent pharmacodynamics of substrates. Associations have been observed between SLC22A1 polymorphisms and reduced tolerability to metformin, an OCT1 substrate with adherence issues related to gastrointestinal irritation.
218
Considering the liver is a major site where metformin exerts its therapeutic effects, it has also been suggested that reduced hepatic uptake, secondary to SLC22A1 polymorphisms, may result in relatively reduced glycemic control. However, experimental results investigating this hypothesis have been inconsistent.
219
Variants of the gene encoding OCT2 (i.e., SLC22A2) that may be relevant in metformin therapy have also been identified. In particular, the nonsynonymous 808G>T polymorphism results in a reduced function allele and has been associated with impaired renal tubular secretion of metformin.
220,221
Reduced incidence of nephrotoxicity to cisplatin, another substrate of renal OCT2, has also been in observed in carriers of the 808G>T SNP.
222
While variants of SLC22A3 (i.e., OCT3) have been identified, their capacity to impact drug disposition and response remains relatively unclear.
Breast Cancer Resistance Protein
Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) is a member of the ABC family of active transporters. It is encoded by the ABCG2 gene and is expressed in many epithelial and endothelial cells in humans. Oriented outwardly, BCRP transports substrates out of cells and contributes to the critical restrictive functions of the testis, placenta, and the blood–brain barrier (BBB). In the liver, BCRP is expressed on the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes and contributes to the biliary secretion of drugs, such as nitrofurantoin and rosuvastatin.
223
Targeted proteomic studies have revealed that BCRP expression in the liver is relatively stable from birth to adulthood and that age may not be a substantial independent source of interindividual variability.
199
Most of the genetic polymorphisms in ABCG2 for which a functional impact has been established are rare, with the notable exception of 421G>T, a particularly common SNP among individuals of Han Chinese ancestry.
224
The 421G>T SNP results in a reduced function allele and has been associated with increased exposure to rosuvastatin and greater reductions in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.
202,225–227
This association presumably is a
consequence of impaired secretion of rosuvastatin into the bile via hepatic
BCRP. Conversely, it has been observed that patients with the relatively reduced function GT or TT genotypes appear to have reduced effectiveness of allopurinol in gout.
228,229
However, a mechanism has yet to be established, and the association may be the result of the 421G>T SNP being in linkage disequilibrium with another genetic polymorphism.
Whereas rosuvastatin and allopurinol provide the most convincing examples of a role for the clinical utility of BCRP pharmacogenetics, they are not frequently used drugs in the pediatric population, and studies specifically investigating the impact of BCRP genetic polymorphisms on drug exposure and response in children have been limited. Clearance and incidence of adverse events in children receiving tacrolimus for hematopoietic stem cell transplants have been observed to be unaffected by the 421G>T variant.
230
In a study of methotrexate pharmacokinetics in a pediatric population, another relatively more common BCRP SNP, -24C>T, was not found to have a detectable effect.
231
Other pediatric-relevant drugs, such as lamotrigine and sulfasalazine, have been identified as BCRP substrates, and although clinical studies in adults suggest a potential effect of the 421G>T SNP on their pharmacokinetics, no pediatric data are currently available.
232–234
Multidrug Resistance–Associated Proteins
The multidrug resistance–associated protein (MRP) transporters are a subfamily of ABC efflux transporters with an affinity for organic anionic compounds. A variety of drugs and endogenous substrates, such as bile acids, are transported by MRPs. Broadly speaking, MRPs have an affinity for conjugated compounds, including phase II drug metabolites (e.g., glucuronide, glutathione, and sulfate conjugates). In humans, MRPs are expressed in all tissues traditionally considered important in governing pharmacokinetics. In the small intestine, MRP2, and, possibly, MRP4 are localized to the apical membrane of the enterocytes, whereas MRP1, MRP3, and MRP5 are expressed on the basolateral membranes.
235
In the liver, MRP2 is present in the bile canalicular membrane, and MRP1, MRP3, MRP4, and MRP5 are expressed in the sinusoidal membranes of the hepatocytes.
235
In the kidney, MRP2 and MRP4 are found on the apical membranes of the proximal tubule epithelial cells, whereas MRP1 and MRP3 are expressed in the basolateral membranes.
235
In the BBB, MRP1, MRP4, and MRP5 are expressed along the luminal membranes of the capillary endothelial cells, thereby restricting access of substrates to the
cerebrospinal fluid.
235
Broadly speaking, MRPs are oriented outwardly, and their action results in reduced intracellular concentrations of their respective substrates.
MRP1 is encoded by the ABCC1 gene and is perhaps the most studied MRP transporter regarding protein structure–function relationships. It has an affinity for transporting phase II drug metabolites (e.g., glucuronide and glutathione conjugates), anthracyclines, and vincristine. Much of the focus of ABCC1 pharmacogenetic studies in children has related to the effect of allelic variation on adverse drug reactions to anticancer agents. For the most part, no associations of clinical consequence have been found in pediatric trials. Notably, the intronic 825T>C SNP, present in approximately 10% of the African populations, was associated with incidence of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity in children.
236
However, a follow-up study could not confirm the
association.
237
MRP2 shares a high degree of substrate overlap with MRP1. In humans, MRP2 is extensively expressed in the apical brush border of the kidney proximal tubule. In conjunction with other transporters, including MRP4, it plays an important role in secreting substrates from inside proximal tubule epithelial cells out into the glomerular ultrafiltrate. A reduced function variant resulting from the -24C>T SNP in ABCC2, the gene encoding for MRP2, has been associated with tenofovir-induced nephrotoxicity in adults.
238,239
However, the mechanism underlying a role of MRP2 genetics is less clear, given that tenofovir has not been consistently shown to be a substrate of MRP2. In the pediatric population, the -24C>T SNP has also been associated with elevated trough concentrations of voriconazole and increased incidence of toxicities to methotrexate.
231,240
MRP3 has an affinity for phase II drug metabolites, particularly glucuronide conjugates. In perfused livers isolated from ABCC3 (i.e., MRP3) knockout mice, secretion of acetaminophen glucuronide into the blood was decreased, and secretion into the bile was increased.
241
Similar findings have reported for morphine. In ABCC3 knockout mice, morphine-3-glucuronide concentrations are increased in the bile, while plasma concentrations are dramatically reduced (~50-fold).
242
In humans, reduced expression of ABCC3 mRNA has been
observed in individuals who are homozygous for the -211C>T SNP,
243
and the presence of the T allele also has been associated with reduced systemic exposure to morphine-glucuronide metabolites in children.
244
MRP4 is predominantly responsible for transporting nucleoside drugs, such as tenofovir and ganciclovir. Like many other MRPs, it is also capable of transporting methotrexate and phase II drug metabolites. One of the clearer examples of an impact of MRP genetics on drug disposition is the 3463T>C polymorphism in ABCC4, the gene encoding MRP4. The variant is quite common, occurring in 10% to 20% of individuals, and is associated with increased plasma and cellular tenofovir exposure and decreased tenofovir renal clearance in adults.
245,246
Other studies have also connected the relatively common 4131A>C and 4976A>G SNPs in ABCC4 with increased tenofovir clearance and incidence of tenofovir-induced nephrotoxicity, respectively.
247,248
MRP5 has a substrate profile that is similar to MRP4, consisting of nucleosides, nucleotides, and methotrexate. However, relatively less is known about the pharmacogenetics of ABCC5 (i.e., MRP5), particularly in pediatrics. There is some evidence suggesting MRP5 may play a role mitigating the severity of 5­fluorouracil (5-FU) and irinotecan-induced gastrointestinal toxicity.
249
P-Glycoprotein
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an ABC efflux transporter encoded by the ABCB1, also known as the MDR1, gene. Generally, it transports lipophilic and cationic compounds and has a high substrate overlap with the drug-metabolizing enzyme CYP3A. In humans, P-gp is expressed extensively in the intestines, kidneys, BBB, placenta, and liver.
250
In the small intestine and liver, where CYP3A and P-gp are co-expressed, evidence suggests the two proteins operate synergistically.
251
As such, reductions in P-gp function due to factors including genetic polymorphisms may also reduce the apparent activity of CYP3A. Much like CYP3A4, hepatic protein expression of P-gp has been shown to increase from birth to adulthood and that age may be a determinant in the functional consequences of interplay between the two proteins. Polymorphic expression of CYP3A5 adds an additional layer of complexity, and CYP3A5 polymorphisms may represent effect modifiers on associations between ABCB1 polymorphisms and drug exposure. Enzyme-transporter interplay may even explain the results of one study where the CC genotype (1236C>T SNP) for ABCB1 was associated with decreased tacrolimus blood concentrations only in children who also possessed at least one copy of the active CYP3A5*1 allele.
252
P-gp also plays a critical role in restricting drug transit across the BBB.
Functional impairment of P-gp at the BBB could result in increased efficacy and
toxicity of drugs that exert pharmacologic actions in the central nervous system (CNS), presumably through reduced efflux from the CNS. With this in mind, it is interesting to note that 1236C>T has been associated with increased response to risperidone and combined anesthetic regimens (e.g., remifentanil–sevoflurane and remifentanil–propofol).
253–255
Both 1236C>T and 3435C>T in ABCB1 have been found to be associated with increased incidence of methotrexate-induced toxicities in children,
256
and 3435C>T has also been associated with increased
neuropsychiatric adverse events in children taking oseltamivir.
257
Generally speaking, efforts to demonstrate a clear relationship between discrete genetic polymorphisms and transporter function have been complicated by the tremendous degree of variation in the ABCB1 gene. While some utility has been found in aggregating multiple polymorphisms into haplotypes, much more work is needed to clarify P-gp pharmacogenetics.
HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS
Many drugs and their metabolites can bind to proteins in the body and elicit hypersensitivity reactions. The potential for hypersensitivity reactions is especially great when drug or drug-modified peptides bind to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins that are important in T-cell recognition of antigens. Genetic variation in the HLA genes that encode MHC proteins has been shown to be reliable predictors of risk for hypersensitivity reactions to certain drugs. Hypersensitivity reactions to abacavir commonly result from the presence of the HLA-B*57:01 allele, which occurs in approximately 5% of individuals of European ancestry.
258
Prospective screening for the HLA-B*57:01 allele has dramatically reduced incidence of abacavir- induced hypersensitivity reactions.
259
The presence of HLA-B*15:02, an allele that is much more commonly encountered in individuals of Asian ancestry, has been associated with the incidence of SJS/TEN in children treated with carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine.
260
The FDA-approved product label recommends testing for HLA-B*15:02 be conducted for patients with ancestry in populations with increased frequency of the allele prior to treatment with carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine.
261,262
While the HLA-B*15:02 allele has also been associated with severe cutaneous adverse reactions to phenytoin, pharmacogenetics testing is currently not indicated prior to imitating therapy. However, alternative medications (other than fosphenytoin, carbamazepine, or oxcarbazepine) should be considered if a patient is known to carry the HLA-
