Methods: Following written informed consent, 225 Caucasians and 146 Blacks were recruited from theGerman Competence Network for HIV/AIDS. Plasma concentrations of efavirenz and nevirapine wereassessed by HPLC, and genotyping for 516G>T, 983T>C and 1459T>C polymorphisms in CYP2B6 wasconducted by real-time PCR-based allelic discrimination.
Results: The minor allele frequency for 516G>T, 983T>C and 1459T>C was 0.29, 0 and 0.08 inCaucasians and 0.34, 0.07 and 0.02 in Blacks, respectively. Two Black patients with the 983C allelereceiving efavirenz were identified and both were withdrawn from therapy within 1 week of samplingdue to toxicity. In multivariate analyses, efavirenz and nevirapine plasma concentrations were signifi-cantly associated with 983T>C (P < 0.0001 and P 5 0.02, respectively), 516G>T (P < 0.0001 andP 5 0.002, respectively) and time of drug analysis post-dose (P < 0.0001 for both). Body mass indexwas independently related to efavirenz (P 5 0.04) but not nevirapine concentrations, and age wasrelated to nevirapine (P 5 0.05) but not efavirenz concentrations. Consistent with other studies,1459C>T was not associated with plasma concentrations of either drug (P > 0.05 for both drugs).
Conclusions: This is the first report that the 983T>C genotype ( part of the CYP2B6*18 haplotype)impacts on nevirapine plasma concentrations and the first study to assess the impact of 983C homo-zygosity on efavirenz concentrations. These data have implications for administration of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors to Black patients.

Normality of the data was assessed using a Shapiro – Wilk test. Subsequently, univariate statistical analysis was conducted by The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of simple linear regression (continuous data) or one-way analysis of CYP2B6 polymorphisms (516G.T, 983T.C and 1459T.C) variance (categorical data). Missing values were imputed byregression against efavirenz concentrations, and multivariate analysis and the influence of heterozygosity and homozygosity for these was conducted by multiple linear regressions using best subset polymorphisms on plasma concentrations of efavirenz and nevir- apine in a cohort of Caucasian and Black patients from theGerman Competence Network for HIV/AIDS. In addition, theassociation with gender, ethnicity, weight, height, alcohol con-sumption, smoking status, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) and glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) was also deter- mined. Finally, a multivariate analysis was conducted using bestsubset analysis.
When x2 test of observed versus predicted genotype frequencieswas conducted, all polymorphisms were found to be in Hardy –Weinberg equilibrium. The frequencies of 516G.T, 983T.Cand 1459C.T are given in Figure 1.

The association of the 516G.T SNPwith efavirenz and nevirapine pharmacokinetics is well estab- lished, but a recent study indicated that the 516TT genotype was not associated with the time to failure of efavirenz-containing regimens or increases in the CD4 cell count.16 This polymorph- ism did predict CNS adverse effects at week 1 of therapy, but exposure.16 Nonetheless, a recent manuscript described the use of 516G.T (along with 499C.G and 785A.G) in successful dose reduction of efavirenz in a Japanese cohort.10 The cost- effectiveness of this approach now requires further investigation.
Genetic variability has been assessed in different ethnicities and a number of novel functional variants discovered,11,17 among these, the 983T.C polymorphism is a suspected null allele. With the increasing use of NNRTIs in developing countries, it is imperative that the functional significance of these alleles on NNRTI therapy in different sub-populations be assessed. The 983T.C polymorphism has only previously been identified in Hispanic and African populations,11,12 with allele frequencies of 1.1% in Hispanic Americans and up to 7.5% in some African countries.13 We observed this allele with a fre- quency of 2.6% in Blacks residing in Germany.
In agreement with previous studies, we observed a significant gene dose effect between 516G.T and efavirenz and nevirapine plasma concentrations. In addition, 983T.C genotype was also associated with plasma concentrations of both drugs. Importantly, homozygote patients in the efavirenz arm discontinued therapy 1 week after blood was collected for this study (but before druganalysis) due to CNS toxicity. Previous studies have illustrated that Associations with a P value less than 0.15 in the univariate analysis and heterozygosity of this polymorphism ( present in the CYP2B6*18 therefore included in the multivariate analysis are shown in bold, as are allele) is associated with efavirenz concentrations.12 However, no those associations with a P value less than 0.05 in the multivariate analysis.
