Genome‐Wide Association and Functional Studies Reveal Novel Pharmacological Mechanisms for Allopurinol
AssociationN=4,446Deanna J. Brackman et al.(2019)· Clinical Pharmacology &amp; Therapeutics

This genome-wide association study of 4,446 allopurinol-treated subjects identified BCRP Q141K (rs2231142) as a significant determinant of poor allopurinol response (P = 8.06 × 10⁻¹¹), with a novel suggestive association in GREM2 (rs1934341, P = 3.22 × 10⁻⁶) for better response. In vitro studies demonstrated that oxypurinol inhibits GLUT9-mediated uric acid uptake (IC₅₀ = 108 µM), suggesting a secondary mechanism of allopurinol action beyond xanthine oxidase inhibition.

Genome‐wide association study identifies ABCG2 (BCRP) as an allopurinol transporter and a determinant of drug response
AssociationN=2,027Wen CC et al.(2015)· Clinical Pharmacology &amp; Therapeutics

A genome-wide association study of 2,027 subjects from the Kaiser Permanente GERA cohort identified ABCG2 as a key determinant of allopurinol response for treating hyperuricemia/gout. The missense variant rs2231142 (Q141K) was significantly associated with reduced serum uric acid reduction (P = 3 × 10^-7 in meta-analysis, accounting for 1.1% of variance). Functional studies confirmed that BCRP (encoded by ABCG2) transports allopurinol and oxypurinol, and the Q141K variant reduces this transport.

About ABCG2

The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is included in the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the White subfamily. Alternatively referred to as a breast cancer resistance protein, this protein functions as a xenobiotic transporter which may play a major role in multi-drug resistance. It likely serves as a cellular defense mechanism in response to mitoxantrone and anthracycline exposure. Significant expression of this protein has been observed in the placenta, which may suggest a potential role for this molecule in placenta tissue. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]
