Abstract

Cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) is a highly polymorphic gene, it codes for a protein responsible for the metabolism of multiple clinically important therapeutic agents. However, there is currently no available data on the distribution of CYP2C19 mutant alleles in the Tibetan population. The aim of the present study was to identify different CYP2C19 mutant alleles and determine their frequencies, along with genotypic frequencies, in the Tibetan population. The whole CYP2C19 gene was amplified and sequenced in 96 unrelated, healthy Tibetans from the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, the promoter region, exons, introns and the 3'‑UTR were screened for genetic variants. Three novel genetic polymorphisms in CYP2C19 were detected among a total of 27 different mutations. The allele frequencies of CYP2C19*1A, *1B, *2A, *3A and *17 were 50, 28.13, 15.10, 5.21 and 1.56%, respectively. The most common genotype combinations were CYP2C19*1A/*1B (56.25%) and *1A/*2A (30.21%). One novel non‑synonymous mutation (Asn to Lys) in CYP2C19 was identified, and this mutation was predicted to be intolerant and benign by SIFT and PolyPhen‑2, respectively. The observations of the present study may have important clinical implications for the use of medications metabolized by CYP2C19 among Tibetans.
