Advances in immunosuppressive therapy allowed renal transplantation to become the treatment of choice for suitable candidates with (end stage renal disease) ESRD. The post-transplant therapeutic strategy is difficult due to narrow therapeutic indices for the currently used immunosuppressive drugs. Inter-individual differences in drug bioavailability are related to genetic and non genetic factors. The idea of targeted and personalized therapy is to achieve therapeutic success. The empirical dose has lost its value in the post-transplant therapy and an individualized dosage regimen must be established. Interindividual heterogeneity in expression of ABCB1 and CYP3A4 has been suspected to be one of the factors resulting in cyclosporine (CsA) pharmacokinetic variation. This study aimed to investigate the impact of inter-individual CYP3A4 rs4646437C>T and MDR1 G2677T/A polymorphisms on cyclosporine dose requirements among a sample of renal transplant Egyptian recipients. Fifty adult Egyptian patients on CsA were genotyped for CYP3A4 rs4646437C>T and MDR1 G2677T/A and correlated with CsA dose requirement and dose-adjusted CsA (C0) blood levels at 3, 6, and 9months post transplantation. CYP3A4 rs4646437C>T influenced significantly cyclosporine kinetics, the T carriers requiring higher cyclosporine dose. Daily dose requirements were also significantly higher in T allele MDR1 2677G>T GG genotype as compared to GT/TT genotypes at 3, 6, and 9months post transplantation. Genotyping of both CYP3A4 and MDR1 SNPs may be helpful in providing pre-transplant pharmacogenetic information to individualize CsA dosing. Heterozygous CT genotype is the most frequent CYP3A4 rs4646437C>T genotype in the studied group of Egyptian population (48%) followed by CC genotype and TT genotype. Daily dose requirements were significantly higher in T allele MDR1 2677G>T GG genotype as compared to GT/TT genotypes at 3, 6, and 9months post transplantation.
