Abstract

This nested case-control study examined relationships between MDR1, CYP2B6, and CYP3A4 variants and hepatotoxicity during antiretroviral therapy with either efavirenz- or nevirapine-containing regimens. Decreased risk of hepatotoxicity was associated with MDR1 3435C-->T (odds ratio, 0.254; P=.021). An interaction between MDR1 and hepatitis B surface antigen status predicted risk with 82% accuracy (P<.001).
