The influence of MTHFR genetic polymorphisms on methotrexate therapy in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia

MTHFR is a crucial enzyme in folate metabolism. This study aimed to determine the relationship between MTHFR genetic polymorphism and elimination and toxicities of methotrexate (MTX). To do that, the study enrolled 145 patients diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, who received chemotherapy f...

This study aimed to determine the relationship between MTHFR genetic polymorphism and elimination and toxicities of methotrexate (MTX). To do that, the study enrolled 145 patients diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, who received chemotherapy following the Chinese Children’s Cancer Group Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (CCCG-ALL)-2015 protocol (clinical trial number: ChiCTR-IPR-14005706). We analyzed the effects of MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms on MTX elimination and toxicities. Patients with the MTHFR C677T TT genotype could tolerate a significantly higher MTX dose than those with the CC/CT genotype. However, patients with C677T TT genotypes had an increased risk of hypokalemia (1.369 to CC and 1.409 to CT types). The MTX infusion rate in patients with the MTHFR A1298C AC genotype was slightly lower than that in those with CC or AA genotypes. Patients with the A1298C AA genotype had a 1.405-fold higher risk of hepatotoxicity than those with the AC genotype (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference between the prevalence of other toxicities among MTHFR C677T or A1298C genotypes (P > 0.05). Neither MTHFR C677T nor A1298C polymorphisms were significantly associated with delayed MTX clearance.
