          Abstract

          RESUMEN Objetivos: El escitalopram es un fármaco antidepresivo del grupo de los inhibidores selectivos de la recaptación de serotonina utilizado ampliamente en el tratamiento del síndrome depresivo mayor. Este medicamento es metabolizado por la enzima CYP2C19 del complejo enzimático citocromo P450, y se conoce que variaciones genéticas en esta enzima están directamente relacionadas a variaciones en la respuesta farmacológica al escitalopram, en eficacia y toxicidad. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la presencia de variantes alélicas para CYP2C19 en pacientes geriátricos tratados con escitalopram y evaluar el ajuste al tratamiento farmacológico con escitalopram de acuerdo con su perfil farmacogenético. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo y transversal. La muestra se conformó por 36 pacientes geriátricos de ambos sexos, diagnosticados con síndrome depresivo mayor y tratados con escitalopram en la Clínica del Adulto Mayor del Hospital Roosevelt durante marzo a agosto de 2017. Para la determinación de la presencia de variantes alélicas se utilizó la técnica de análisis de reacción en cadena de la polimerasa-polimorfismos de longitud de fragmentos de restricción (PCR-RFLP). Resultados: Se encontró presencia de variantes alélicas en 4 pacientes (11,1%). Según los diplotipos encontrados, 32 pacientes (88,9%) correspondieron al fenotipo metabolizador extensivo y 4 (11,1%) al intermedio, no se encontraron casos de fenotipos metabolizadores pobres. Conclusiones: En todos los casos se realizó intervención farmacéutica con recomendación terapéutica al médico. En ningún caso fue necesario reajuste de dosis. La frecuencia de la presencia de variantes alélicas encontrada para Guatemala fue similar al promedio de frecuencia multiétnica conocida.

          SUMMARY Objectives: Escitalopram is an antidepressant drug from the group of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors widely used in the treatment of major depressive syndrome. This drug is metabolized by the enzyme CYP2C19 of the cytochrome P450 enzyme complex and it is known that genetic variations in this enzyme are directly related to variations in the pharmacological response to escitalopram, in efficacy and toxicity. The aim of this study was to determine the presence of allelic variants for CYP2C19 in geriatric patients treated with escitalopram and to evaluate the adjustment to pharmacological treatment with escitalopram according to their pharmacogenetic profile. Materials and methods: A quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted. The sample consisted of 36 geriatric patients of both sexes, diagnosed with major depressive syndrome and treated with escitalopram in the Senior Adult Clinic of the Roosevelt Hospital of Guatemala during March to August 2017. For the determination of the presence of allelic variants the analysis technique of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used. Results: Allelic variants were found in 4 patients (11.1%). 32 patients (88.9%) corresponded to the extensive metabolizer phenotype and 4 (11.1%) to the intermediate, no cases of poor metabolizing phenotypes were found. Conclusions: In all cases, a pharmaceutical intervention was carried out with therapeutic recommendation to the doctor. In no case was dose readjustment necessary. The frequency of the presence of allelic variants found for Guatemala was similar to the known multiethnic frequency average.

          Pharmacogenomics knowledge for personalized medicine.

          The Pharmacogenomics Knowledgebase (PharmGKB) is a resource that collects, curates, and disseminates information about the impact of human genetic variation on drug responses. It provides clinically relevant information, including dosing guidelines, annotated drug labels, and potentially actionable gene-drug associations and genotype-phenotype relationships. Curators assign levels of evidence to variant-drug associations using well-defined criteria based on careful literature review. Thus, PharmGKB is a useful source of high-quality information supporting personalized medicine-implementation projects.

            Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) Guideline for CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 Genotypes and Dosing of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors.

            Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are primary treatment options for major depressive and anxiety disorders. CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 polymorphisms can influence the metabolism of SSRIs, thereby affecting drug efficacy and safety. We summarize evidence from the published literature supporting these associations and provide dosing recommendations for fluvoxamine, paroxetine, citalopram, escitalopram, and sertraline based on CYP2D6 and/or CYP2C19 genotype (updates at www.pharmgkb.org).
