Twelve novel single nucleotide polymorphisms in ABCB1/MDR1 among Japanese patients with ventricular tachycardia who were administered amiodarone.
Twelve novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were found in the gene encoding the ATP-binding cassette transporter, P-glycoprotein, from 60 Japanese individuals who were administered the anti-antiarrythmic drug, amiodarone. The detected SNPs were as follows: 1) SNP, MPJ6_AB1017 (IVS6-109); GENE NAME, ABCB1; ACCESSION NUMBER, NT_017168; 2) SNP, MPJ6_AB1018 (IVS7+14); GENE NAME, ABCB1; ACCESSION NUMBER, NT_017168; 3) SNP, MPJ6_AB1021 (IVS9-44); GENE NAME, ABCB1; ACCESSION NUMBER, NT_017168; 4) SNP, MPJ6_AB1052 (IVS12+17); GENE NAME, ABCB1; ACCESSION NUMBER, NT_017168; 5) SNP, MPJ6_AB1029 (IVS15-69); GENE NAME, ABCB1; ACCESSION NUMBER, NT_017168; 6) SNP, MPJ6_AB1040 (IVS24+16); GENE NAME, ABCB1; ACCESSION NUMBER, NT_017168; 7) SNP, MPJ6_AB1053 (IVS27-189); GENE NAME, ABCB1; ACCESSION NUMBER, NT_017168; 8) SNP, MPJ6_AB1054 (IVS27-172); GENE NAME, ABCB1; ACCESSION NUMBER, NT_017168; 9) SNP, MPJ6_AB1048 (IVS27-167); GENE NAME, ABCB1; ACCESSION NUMBER, NT_017168; 10) SNP, MPJ6_AB1055 (IVS27-152); GENE NAME, ABCB1; ACCESSION NUMBER, NT_017168; 11) SNP, MPJ6_AB1049 (IVS27-119); GENE NAME, ABCB1; ACCESSION NUMBER, NT_017168; 12) SNP, MPJ6_AB1051 (at nucleotide 3751 (exon 28) from the A of the translation initiation codon); GENE NAME, ABCB1; ACCESSION NUMBER, NT_017168. Among these SNPs, only MPJ6_AB1051 resulted in an amino acid alteration, V1251I.
