Abstract: AIM: To investigate the impact of MDR1C3435T, CYP3A4*18B and CYP3A5*3 genetic polymorphism on serum digoxin concentration in Chinese Han patients with chronic heart failure.METHODS: Drug concentration data of digoxin for a group of 111 unrelated Chinese Han patients with chronic heart failure were retrospectively collected after them taken therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of digoxin. And their genotypes of MDR1C3435T, CYP3A4*18B and CYP3A5*3 alleles were determined by PCR-RFLP method. We investigated the effect of MDR1C3435T, CYP3A4*18B and CYP3A5*3 genetic polymorphism on serum digoxin concentration.RESULTS: In old people (older than 70 years), the serum digoxin concentration in MDR1CC3435 and MDR1TT3435 vs. MDR1TT3435 groups showed a significant difference (P<0.05); But there was no statistical difference on the serum digoxin concentration with CYP3A4*18B or CYP3A5*3 genetic polymorphism (P>0.05).CONCLUSION: The effect of MDR1C3435T genetic polymorphism increased the serum digoxin concentration; CYP3A4*18B or CYP3A5*3 genetic polymorphism may have no significant effect on the serum digoxin concentration.
