Abstract The pharmacogenomics has lately become a focal field of research that investigates the influence of genetic variations of drug-metabolizing enzymes and their receptors and downstream proteins on the interindividual variability in response to medications and adverse drug reactions. Therefore, it is significantly important to study and analyze the variations in drug response between different ethnic groups and populations. The current study aimed to detect the distribution of the genotype and allele frequencies in several very important pharmacogenetic (VIP) gene polymorphisms in the Jordanian population of Arab descent. This study involved 500 unrelated Jordanian individuals of Arab descent. A total of 65 VIP variants located within 33 candidate genes were randomly selected from the PharmGKB database and genotyped using the MassARRAY (iPLEX GOLD) system. The chi-square test was used to evaluate the significant differences of minor allele and genotype frequencies between the Jordanian and other populations including CHE, ASW, CEU, CHB, CDX, GIH, GBR, JPT, LWK, MXL, TSI, YRI, CAR, and ACB. This study revealed six variants were not in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) (P-value > 0.05) and ten SNPs showed monomorphic features. Most of the remaining forty-nine variant frequencies were significantly different from the compared ethnic groups (P-value < 0.05). The results of this study may be helpful to develop safer treatment by applying the concept of personalized medicine based on the profile of VIP pharmacogene variants of the Jordanian population of Arab descent.

1. Introduction: The genomic variations between individuals due to various types of single nucleotide polymorphisms play an important and vital role in drug pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion) and pharmacodynamics which significantly influence the dose and response of the treatment medications (1-4). Therefore, a better understanding of the variations in genetic material, drug response, efficacy, and toxicity for the same dose of medication will improve the effectiveness of drug therapy (3, 5-7). One of the main public health problems in the world is the variability in drug response between individuals which represents about 2.5% to 10% of all admissions in the hospitals (8-10). It has been reported that various cases of adverse drug reactions due to the variation in drug response which lead to many adverse effects on the patient’s health and the economic status for the individual and society (11-13). It is worth to mention that pharmacogenetics or pharmacogenomics is the study of drug response due to the effect of individual genes or total genomic expression, respectively (14, 15). Over 7 million common variants that affect drug metabolism have been identified worldwide in the last decade (16). A total of 0.2% to 4 % of these common SNPs are responsible for distinguishing the variation in responding to medications among different individuals and populations (7). Therefore, this fact provides the basis for the development and enhancement of personalized treatment (17). In total, there are more than 100 very important pharmacogenes (VIP) which control an individual’s response to drug treatments (18). These genes are translated into products that are involved in drug metabolism (19). Cytochromes P450 (CYPs) or CYP450 is a family of enzymes that are important for the clearance of various compounds, in addition to hormone synthesis and breakdown (20, 21). CYPs are the main enzymes involved in drug metabolism which account for about 75% of the total metabolism (22, 23). The Human Genome Project has identified more than 50 human genes coding for the various cytochrome P450 enzymes (24). Classical examples of this family are CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4 (21). In addition to other significant variants that have been identified within VIPs as MTHFR, DPYD, PACERR, SCN5A, NR1I2, P2RY1, P2RY1, ADH1A, ADH1B, ADH1C, ABCB1, HMGCR, KCNH2, ADRB2, and others are clinically functional and involved in drug metabolism and excretion (25-28).

The genetic diversity of the pharmacogenes exhibits the variable response to drug treatments for an individual through different ethnic groups (1, 9). Studying and identifying the polymorphisms of VIPs also helps in designing personalized medications profile for the patients in any population and matching individuals to different treatment options. Therefore, the prevalence of 65 variants located within 33 VIPs were investigated for the first time in the Jordanian population of Arab ethnicity. 2. Materials and Method 2.1. Study Subjects This study involved 500 unrelated Jordanian participants. The studied participants were 320 males (64%) and 180 females (36%). The average age (±SD) of individuals was 38.16 (±9.7) and 35.34 (±7.14) for males and females, respectively. A total of 10 ml from whole blood was collected from each participant for molecular analyses. This study was conducted in agreement with the Human ethics committee at Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST). Written informed consent was obtained from all volunteers in the study. 2.2. DNA Extraction and Genotyping Genomic DNA was extracted from each blood sample using the Wizard® Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Promega Corporation, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The quality and quantity of the purified DNA were ascertained via agarose gel electrophoresis and the Nano-Drop ND-1000 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer (BioDrop, UK), respectively. A total of 65 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were analyzed within 33 candidate genes using the MassARRAY (iPLEX GOLD) system (Sequenom, San Diego, CA, USA) following the manufacturer’s recommendation at the Australian Genome Research Facility (AGRF). In brief, Multiplex PCR was used to amplify Loci of candidate SNPs followed by a primer extension process (Mass EXTEND) resulting in allele-specific DNA products. Mass spectrometry was used for minisequencing reaction product analysis. Afterward, the extension PCR products were separated onto a 384 well spectroCHIP and placed into the MALDI-TOF (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight) mass spectrometer. Finally, a software system (SpectroTYPER-RT (RT for real-time) was used to analyze the results. 2.3. Basic characteristics of selected Pharmacogenomic VIP variants Genetic variants were chosen based on their clinical significance from previously published VIP variants associated with responsiveness to different drug treatments both at pharmacokinetic and

pharmacodynamic levels. For example, Table S1 shows a list of examples on VIP biomarkers and their associations with some therapeutic products from Drugs@FDA and their pharmacogenomics information

(https://www.fda.gov/drugs/science-and-research-drugs/table-pharmacogenomic-

biomarkers-drug-labeling). Table 1 shows the details of 65 candidate SNPs within 33 genes in addition to the quality control of the genotyping with genotype call rates ranging from 96.5% to 100%. Other data about the included SNPs such as chromosomal position, minor allele and location are also illustrated in Table 1. 2.4. Population variation data The allele counts variation data for other populations were obtained from Hap Map Project web site (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/variation/tools/1000genomes/): CHE: Chechens from Jordan, ASW: African ancestry in Southwest USA, CEU: Utah, USA residents with Northern and Western European ancestry from the CEPH collection, CHB: Han Chinese in Beijing, China, CDX: Chinese Dai in Xishuangbanna, China, GIH: Gujarati Indians in Houston, Texas, USA, GBR: British in England and Scotland, JPT: Japanese in Tokyo, Japan, LWK: Luhya in Webuye, Kenya, MXL: Mexican ancestry in Los Angeles, California, USA, TSI: Toscani in Italy, YRI: Yoruba in Ibadan, Nigeria, CAR: Circassian from Jordan (unpublished data), .ACB; African Caribbean’s in Barbados. In addition, the allele count data of populations around the world were obtained from the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) at http://exac.broadinstitute.org: African, East Asian, Latino, European (Non Finnish), and South Asian and European (Finnish). 2.5. Statistical analysis Statistical analyses were conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences SPSS (version 25). The genotype and allele frequency was calculated and tested by performing the HardyWeinberg equilibrium equation (HWE).

3.2. Pharmacogenomic VIP variants of Jordanian population compared to the eleven HapMap populations Using the χ2 test results of the chosen VIP variants, Jordanians showed a number of similarities and differences compared to the HapMap population. The comparison of minor allele frequencies (MAF) and the allelic distribution of the studied polymorphisms between Jordanian population and other populations as shown in Table 3. For example; rs689466 was distributed among Jordanian significantly different from CEU, GBR, LWK, MXL, and TSI populations (P-value < 0.05), but similar to the remaining studied populations.

3.3. Pharmacogenomic VIP variants of Jordanian population compared to six Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) populations χ2 test were also applied to compare the allelic frequencies of the selected VIP variants in Jordanians and six ExAC populations. Table 4 shows the frequencies of the studied VIP variants within the selected genes among Jordanians and their comparison to the available frequency variants among six populations listed in the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) database. The results of this study revealed that various polymorphisms among Jordanian had significantly different frequencies compared to other populations. It is very clear from this study as shown in tables 3 and 4 that each studied variant has its own genotypic and allelic distribution among Jordanian population differs from other polymorphisms and these frequencies could either differ significantly from the certain population or similar to others.

4. Discussion Recent advances in pharmacogenomics in the last few years will help the patients to be treated more efficiently with better response to medications (29, 30). The current study was conducted in the Jordanian population of Arab descent included 500 unrelated individuals to detect the allelic and genotypic distribution of 65 variants among 33 VIPs (table 1) and compared to other populations and different ethnic groups. One of the main large and diverse enzyme superfamily involved in the oxidative metabolism of various chemical substances like drugs is the cytochrome P450 (CYP) (31). The current study analyzed the following variants from CYP superfamily: CYP2J2 (rs890293, rs10264272), CYP3A5 (rs776746), CYP3A4 (rs4986913, rs4986910, rs4986909, rs12721634, rs2740574), CYP2C19 (rs4986893, rs4244285), CYP2C9 (rs1799853), CYP2A6 (rs28399454, rs1801272, rs28399433), CYP2B6 (rs3745274, rs28399499, rs59421388), CYP2D6 (rs28371725, rs61736512, rs28371706, rs5030656). The following SNPs rs4986913, rs4986910, rs4986909, rs12721634, rs4986893, rs1801272, rs28399499, and rs5030656have been found monomorphic polymorphisms. Two polymorphisms within UGT1A1 gene have been found from the current study (rs2740574, and rs10929302) did not fulfill the HWE (P- value < 0.05). It was found from the current study that the minor allele the frequency for these variants was almost the same with ASW (African ancestry in Southwest USA) and TSI (Toscani in Italy), but the frequency was significantly different from other compared populations with P-value < 0.05. One important member of this CYP superfamily is the CYP2C9 which approximately constitutes around 20 % of the total CYP protein with more than 60 variants have been reported for its gene (31, 32). CYP2C9 metabolizes about one-fourth of the clinically administrated medications (31, 33). Many studies reported that the rs4244285 variant was found at a high allelic frequency in south India (30%) and the lowest frequency was in Faroese (2.9%) (13), but the minor allele frequency (A) was 12% in Jordanian population which was the same allele frequency as rs689466, rs2066853, rs776746, rs1799853, and rs28371725 SNPs (Table 3). In contrast, rs4986893 was

monomorphic alleles in Jordanian population compared to the result of other studies on other populations that found that the rs4986893 at higher allelic frequencies in the Japanese (about 13%) but lower (0) among the European-Americans, South Africans, Greeks, Italians, and other populations (17, 26). Another important and abundant CYP enzyme that has a great effect on the metabolism of the drug within the different populations is the CYP3A4 (31). It has been identified more than 25 variants of CYP3A4 (1, 31). It was observed from different studies that the rs55785340 and rs4986910 allele frequencies of the CYP3A4 gene at a high rate at Caucasians population in comparison to rs12721627and rs28371759 that were observed at a high rate in the Chinese population (17, 20). In spite of this, all studied SNPs of CYP3A4 in the current study were found at a monomorphic feature in the Jordanian population. In addition to rs2740574 polymorphism that did not fulfill the HWE equation with P-value < 0.05. The current Jordanian study revealed that these variants: KCNH2 (rs3807375), VKORC1 (rs9934438), SLC19A1 (rs12659, rs1051266), UGT1A1 (rs4124874), COMT (s4680) were at a high level of allele frequency in the Jordanian population (approximately 50%) which differs from other frequencies in different populations because of many factors such as different mutations rate, natural selection, and migration (34, 35, 36, 37). Despite many studies reported that the rs8175347 and rs10929302 polymorphisms within UGT1A1 gene were associated with increased risk of diarrhea neutropenia for patients who treated with irinotecan from colorectal neoplasms (15, 38). The presented study revealed that two of the UGT1A1 variants (rs4124874 and rs10929302) were not in HWE and the third one (rs4148323) was at a monomorphic feature in the Jordanian population.

In conclusion, this study analyzed 65 variants among 33 various important pharmacogenes in 500 participants in the Jordanian population. Considering the results above, ethnicity is a significant factor for the distribution of allele and genotype frequencies between populations which can be used as great resources for future pharmacogenomic studies. Therefore, the presented study will enhance personalized medicine in clinical settings and choose the appropriate dose of drugs to increase the safety and efficacy of the medications for Jordanian individuals. Finally, this study could be used to match Jordanian individuals to different treatments potions based on the genetic profile of VIP pharmacogenomic variants.
