Abstract
This study is designed to address the connection between antidepressant and antipsychotic-induced hepatotoxicity with pharmacogenetic and epigenetic indicators, using a novel combined approach of CYP450 polymorphism determination and early liver injury detection via microRNA testing. The multi-centric retrospective case-control study in Slovakia involves 151 cases with signs of hepatotoxicity and 604 controls without. Participants will be tested for selected CYP450, UGT1A1 polymorphisms, and microRNAs. Anticipated findings will test if patients with specific CYP450 and UGT1A1 polymorphisms are at higher risk for drug-induced hepatotoxicity and if plasma microRNAs hsa-miR-122-5p and hsa-miR-192-5p, alone or combined, can differentiate patients with abnormal liver function. The findings could contribute to personalized treatment approach by combining genetic and epigenetic biomarkers.
