Objective:Deferasirox is an iron-chelating agent prescribed to patients with iron overload. Due to the interindividual variability of deferasirox responses reported in various populations, this study aims to determine the genetic polymorphisms that influence drug responses.Methods:A systematic search was performed from inception to March 2022 on electronic databases. All studies investigating genetic associations of deferasirox in humans were included, and the outcomes of interest included pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and adverse drug reactions. Fixed- and random-effects model meta-analyses using the ratio of means (ROM) were performed.Results:Seven studies involving 367 participants were included in a meta-analysis. The results showed that subjects carrying the A allele (AG/AA) ofABCC2rs2273697 had a 1.23-fold increase in deferasirox Cmax(ROM = 1.23; 95% confidence interval [CI]:1.06–1.43;p= 0.007) and a lower Vd (ROM = 0.48; 95% CI: 0.36–0.63;p< 0.00001), compared to those with GG. A significant attenuated area under the curve of deferasirox was observed in the subjects withUGT1A3rs3806596 AG/GG by 1.28-fold (ROM = 0.78; 95% CI: 0.60–0.99;p= 0.04). In addition, two SNPs ofCYP24A1were also associated with the decreased Ctrough: rs2248359 CC (ROM = 0.50; 95% CI: 0.29–0.87;p= 0.01) and rs2585428 GG (ROM = 0.47; 95% CI: 0.35–0.63;p< 0.00001). Only rs2248359 CC was associated with decreased Cmin(ROM = 0.26; 95% CI: 0.08–0.93;p= 0.04), while rs2585428 GG was associated with a shorter half-life (ROM = 0.44; 95% CI: 0.23–0.83;p= 0.01).Conclusion:This research summarizes the current evidence supporting the influence of variations in genes involved with drug transporters, drug-metabolizing enzymes, and vitamin D metabolism on deferasirox responses.
