The folic acid analog methotrexate is the first choice disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug in this disease, however, 35-45% of patients fail to respond. Molecular elements, such as variants in genes of pharmacological relevance, influencing response to methotrexate in JIA, would be important to individualize treatment strategies. Several studies have evaluated the effects of candidate genetic variants in the complex pathway of genes involved in methotrexate pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics, however, results are still contrasting and no definitive genetic marker of methotrexate response useful for the clinician to tailor therapy of children with JIA has been identified. Recently, genome-wide approaches have been applied, identifying new potential biological processes involved in methotrexate response in JIA such as TGF-beta signaling and calcium channels. If these genomic results are properly validated and integrated with innovative analyses comprising deep sequencing, epigenetics, and pharmacokinetics, they will greatly contribute to personalize therapy with methotrexate in children with JIA.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25852556?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pavan, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gortani, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rubinato, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faletra, Flavio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pastore, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A girl with photosensitivity and hepatic steatosis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Pediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

The polymorphisms considered are the BclI in the NR3C1 gene, C-511T in IL-1β gene, and Leu155His and rs2670660/C in NALP1 gene. Patients were grouped as responder, dependant, and resistant to GCs. The relation between GC response and the genetic polymorphisms considered was examined using univariate, multivariate, and Classification and Regression Tree (CART) analysis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Univariate analysis showed that BclI polymorphism was more frequent in responders compared with dependant patients (P=0.03) and with the combined dependant and resistant groups (P=0.02). Moreover, the NALP1 Leu155His polymorphism was less frequent in the GC responsive group compared with resistant (P=0.0059) and nonresponder (P=0.02) groups. Multivariate analysis comparing responders and nonresponders confirmed an association between BclI mutated genotype and steroid response (P=0.030), and between NALP1 Leu155His mutant variant and nonresponders (P=0.033). An association between steroid response and male sex was also observed (P=0.034). In addition, Leu155His mutated genotype was associated with steroid resistance (P=0.034). Two CART analyses supported these findings by showing that BclI and Leu155His polymorphisms had the greatest effect on steroid response (permutation P value=0.046). The second CART analysis also identified age of disease onset and male sex as important variables affecting response.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;These results confirm that genetic and demographic factors may affect the response to GCs in young patients with IBD and strengthen the importance of studying high-order interactions for predicting response.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20697295?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
