| Abstract | Background This study investigates pharmacogenetic risk factors for bone mineral (apparent) density (BM(A)D) and body composition in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia Design and Methods We determined the influence of SNPs in 4 genes (vitamin-D receptor (VDR: BsmI/ApaI/TaqI and Cdx-2/GATA), collagen type I alpha 1 (SpI), estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1: PvuII/XbaI), glucocorticoid receptor (BclI)) on body composition, BM(A)D and fracture risk during dexamethasone-based pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment. Body composition and BMD were measured repeatedly during and after treatment using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results Non-carriers of VDR 5'-end (Cdx-2/GATA) haplotype 3 revealed a significant larger fat gain than carriers (D%fat: non-carriers: +1.76SDS, carriers: +0.77SDS, P<0.001). At diagnosis and during therapy, lumbar spine BMD was significantly higher in non-carriers of VDR 5'-end (Cdx-2/GATA) haplotype 3 than in carriers. The other SNPs did not influence BMD or fracture risk during/after treatment. The year after treatment completion, lean body mass increased in non-carriers of ESR1 (PvuII/XbaI) haplotype 3 and decreased in carriers (D lean body mass: non-car-riers:+0.28SDS, carriers: -0.55SDS, P<0.01). Conclusions Only VDR 5'-end (Cdx-2/GATA) haplotype 3 was identified as protective factor against excessive fat gain and as a risk factor for lower lumbar spine BMD during treatment. Carrying ESR1 (PvuII/XbaI) haplotype 3 negatively influenced recovery of lean body mass after pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment. |
