Abstract
Objectives
Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) is a major enzyme system involved in drug metabolism as well as regulation of brain function. Although individual variability in CYP enzymes have been studied in terms of personality traits and treatment effects, no study up to now evaluated CYP polymorphisms in children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We aimed to define the genetic profiles of CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 relevant alleles in children with ADHD according to treatment status and compare the frequencies according to past results.
Methods
Three hundred and seventeen patients with ADHD-Combined Presentation were enrolled; symptom severity was evaluated by parents and clinicians while adverse effects of previous treatments were evaluated with parent and child reports. Reverse blotting on strip assays was used for genotyping and descriptive and bivariate analyses were conducted. A p-value was set at 0.05 (two-tailed).
Results
Children were divided into treatment-naïve (n=194, 61.2%) and treatment-resistant (n=123, 38.8%) groups. Within the whole sample PM, EM and UM status according to 2D6 were 3.8% (n=12), 94.3% (n=299) and 21.9% (n=6); respectively. PM, IM, EM and UM status according to 2C19 were 2.5% (n=8), 19.8% (n=63), 48.6% (n=154) and 29.0% (n=92), respectively. No relationship with treatment resistance, comorbidity or gender could be found. Importantly, CYP2C19 UMs were significantly more frequent in ADHD patients compared to previous studies in the general population.
Conclusions
CYPs may be a rewarding avenue of research to elucidate the etiology and treatment of patients with ADHD.
