Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) belongs to the group of chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, prevalence of which is increasing in the Polish population. The two main clinical types of IBD are ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). The expression level of the ABCB1/MDR1 gene which encodes P-glycoprotein seems to be of great prognostic relevance while evaluating patients' susceptibility to UC or CD. One of the most significant ABCB1/MDR1 gene mutations is the C3435T polymorphism. A decreased expression of the ABCB1/MDR1 gene and lower P-glycoprotein activity has been associated with the 3435T variant. The aim of the study was to evaluate the C3435T polymorphism in the IBD patients and to investigate a possible correlation with disease susceptibility.
Methods: The study was performed on 108 patients with IBD and on 137 healthy individuals. All the participants were of Caucasian origin and came from central Poland. The C3435T polymorphism was analyzed by using the PCR-RFLP method.
Results: Our results showed that ORs for IBD development (including UC and CD) were elevated in individuals both with the 3435CC genotype and the 3435C allele. The differences in genotype and allele frequencies were not significant.
Conclusions: The C3435T polymorphism of the ABCB1/MDR1 gene is not a risk factor for IBD, including UC and CD, in the population coming from central Poland.

Influence of ABCB1 polymorphisms on aripiprazole and dehydroaripiprazole plasma concentrations.
Sci Rep

Pharmacy Department, University Clinical Hospital of Santiago de Compostela (SERGAS), 15706, Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
Aripiprazole (ARI) is an atypical antipsychotic which is a substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), a transmembrane glycoprotein that plays a crucial role in eliminating potentially harmful compounds from the organism. ARI once-monthly (AOM) is a long-acting injectable form which improves treatment compliance. Genetic polymorphisms in ABCB1 may lead to changes in P-gp function, leading to individual differences in drug disposition.

Aims: Paclitaxel and nanoparticle albumin-bound (nab)-paclitaxel can cause early, extremely severe neutropenia, occasionally leading to fatal outcomes. As paclitaxel is a substrate of P-glycoprotein, this study aimed to investigate the impact of ABCB1 single-nucleotide variants, which encode P-glycoprotein, on early, extremely severe neutropenia in patients receiving paclitaxel/nab-paclitaxel plus ramucirumab as second-line therapy for unresectable advanced/recurrent gastric cancer.
Methods: We analysed patients treated at Aichi Cancer Center Hospital from January 2018 to August 2023, with DNA samples stored in the Cancer BioBank Aichi.
Clinical Value of ABCB1 and PAI-1 Gene Polymorphisms in Predicting Glucocorticoid-induced Adverse Reactions in Nephrotic Syndrome Patients.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the link between specific gene polymorphisms (ABCB1 C3435T and PAI-1 4G/5G) and adverse reactions induced by glucocorticoids (GCs) in nephrotic syndrome (NS) patients.
- In a sample of 513 NS patients, the researchers found that ABCB1 C3435T was a risk factor for steroid-induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head (SANFH), while PAI-1 4G/5G was linked to both SANFH and steroid diabetes mellitus (S-DM).
- The study suggests that testing for these gene variants before starting GC treatment could help identify
Effect of MDR1 C3435T and CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms on the outcome of Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment in children with gastritis and peptic ulcer, Vietnam.

Department of Pediatrics, University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Background: Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy based on antimicrobial susceptibility in Vietnamese children currently get low efficiency. There are causes of treatment failure, among host genetic factors namely MDR1 C3435T and CYP2C19 affect the absorption and metabolism of proton pump inhibitors - a crucial component of eradication therapy. The study aimed to investigate the effect of MDR1 C3435T and CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms on the cure rate.
