Background: The CDA 79ANC (K27Q, rs2072671) functional SNP has recently shown a crucial role in the pharmacogenetics of cytidine-based anticancer drugs widely administered to different subsets of patients. Current gold standard in screening for the CDA rs2072671 is the sequence-based genotyping method. Here we developed a novel, rapid Allele-Specific PCR method for CDA rs2072671 genotyping. Methods: DNA was extracted from 324 healthy individuals from two different populations (Italian and Han Chinese). CDA rs2072671 genotyping was performed by Allele-Specific PCR. Sequencing was performed to validate the test results. Results obtained from population screening were compared to that already available in HapMap and in the literature. Results: Samples analyzed were successfully genotyped and the resultswere confirmed by sequencing.Genotype distribution does not differ significantly from that previously reported for each relative ethnic group. Also, the world-wide distribution of the CDA rs2072671 SNP is reported. A striking difference is present among the main ethnicities (p=1.715×10−77), with CDA*27Q allele showing the lowest frequency in African group (9.7%) and the highest in Caucasians (35.9%). Conclusion: This Allele-Specific PCR method is a useful tool in pharmacogenetics research and a valid and reliable alternative for CDA rs2072671 screening where sequencing or Real-Time PCR is not available.

Abstract

Background: The CDA 79ANC (K27Q, rs2072671) functional SNP has recently shown a crucial role in the pharmacogenetics of cytidine-based anticancer drugs widely administered to different subsets of patients. Current gold standard in screening for the CDA rs2072671 is the sequence-based genotyping method. Here we developed a novel, rapid Allele-Specific PCR method for CDA rs2072671 genotyping. Methods: DNA was extracted from 324 healthy individuals from two different populations (Italian and Han Chinese). CDA rs2072671 genotyping was performed by Allele-Specific PCR. Sequencing was performed to validate the test results. Results obtained from population screening were compared to that already available in HapMap and in the literature. Results: Samples analyzed were successfully genotyped and the resultswere confirmed by sequencing.Genotype distribution does not differ significantly from that previously reported for each relative ethnic group. Also, the world-wide distribution of the CDA rs2072671 SNP is reported. A striking difference is present among the main ethnicities (p=1.715×10−77), with CDA*27Q allele showing the lowest frequency in African group (9.7%) and the highest in Caucasians (35.9%). Conclusion: This Allele-Specific PCR method is a useful tool in pharmacogenetics research and a valid and reliable alternative for CDA rs2072671 screening where sequencing or Real-Time PCR is not available.
