The age-old question Env Genes
Questions • What do we know about the contribution of genetics to iDILI risk? • How does what we know inform what we can learn and the studies needed? • Can we estimate the genetic contribution to iDILI?
Combined DILIN/iSAEC cross-drug analysis783 cases, 3001 controls • Key findings • No major cross-drug risk factors • STAT4 associated with hepatocellular DILI (OR = 1.4, p = 1.5×10-5) From Urban et al., submitted
The genetic effects that we knowDisease-related associations in NHGRI GWAS Catalog From http://www.genome.gov/gwastudies
We are largely limited to discovering major iDILIrisk factors α = 5×10-8, N Cases = Controls, log-additive OR N = 100K 10K 1K 100
HeritabilityThe genetic contribution to phenotypic variation • Narrow-sense heritability • Broad-sense heritability *From Hill et al. 2008, PLoS Genet. 4:e10000008 via Zuket al. 2012, PNAS, 109:1193 Heritability (H2)*
Estimating heritability via familial resemblance H2 = 2( rMZ ― rDZ ) Broad sense! rMZ and rDZ are the phenotypic correlations between MZ and DZ twin pairs
Estimating heritability viafamilial resemblance h2 = b From Visscher et al., Nat Rev Genet (2008) 9:255-66 http://powerofthegene.com/joomla/index.php/genetic-inheritance/recessive
Estimating heritability in population samples with genome-wide data × Use the genomic estimates of genetic relatedness to derive an estimate of heritability (h2) from the joint genotypic and phenotypic resemblance. From Yang et al. (2010) Nat Genet 42:565-71

iDILI heritability estimates (Visscher) From Casey Overby and Yufeng Shen, in preparation
Opportunities in iSAEC phase 2 • iSAEC DILI consortium (IDILIC) expanding case collection • Range of case recruitment strategies • Academic networks • HMOs • Hospital-based EHRs • >2,000 DILI cases • Multi-ethnic • Includes Chinese centers • Drug-specific sample sizes to identify major risk factors • Large overall sample to dip further into more modest cross-drug risk factors
Conclusions • Several drug-specific risk factors known • Largely limited to adaptive and innate immune response • ADME-related associations tenuous • They do not explain all of the DILI risk for their respective drugs • Some drugs probably don’t have major common genetic risk factors • Heritability due to common variants for Augmentin and flucloxacillin appears modest (25-35%) • Rare variants may be responsible for some additional fraction of the risk • Genetic risk factors are important at least for some forms of DILI • May be necessary for true DILI • However, in most instances, non-genetic factors are important
