Idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a complex multifactorial disease in which the toxic potential of the drug, together with genetic and acquired factors and deficiencies in adaptive processes, which limit the extent of damage, may determine susceptibility and make individuals unique in their development of hepatotoxicity. In our study, we sequenced the exomes of 43 pediatric patients diagnosed with DILI to identify important gene variations associated with this pathology. The result showed the presence of two variations in the NAT2 gene: c.590G>A (p.Arg197Gln) and c.341T>C (p.Ile114Thr). These variations could be found separately or together in 41 of the 43 patients studied. The presence of these variations as a risk factor for DILI could confirm the importance of the acetylation pathway in drug metabolism. |
