Impact of donor CYP3A5 genotype on pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus in South African paediatric liver transplant patients by C Wheeler, C Masimirembwa, B Mthembu, J Botha, J Scholefield, J Fabian

“…The study showed that all expressor donors genotyped as CYP3A5*1/*1 were of black African self-reported race and ethnicity. During the first 15 days post-transplant, we found that children who received grafts from donor CYP3A5 expressors (CYP3A5*1/*1 and *1/*3) had significantly lower mean tacrolimus CDRs compared with those who received grafts from donor CYP3A5 non-expressors (*3/*3); the recipients of CYP3A5 expressor grafts therefore require higher doses of oral tacrolimus to achieve the same therapeutic target range. …”
