Polymorphisms in the SLC19A1, SLCO1B1, and SLCO1B3 gene influence the prognosis in the cancer patients, but little is known about their role in lung cancer in Asians. So, the current study aims to investigate the polymorphisms in SLC19A1, SLCO1B1, and SLCO1B3 genes in Northern Indian lung cancer patients. Methods Patients with lung cancer who had a confirmed histology and cytology diagnosis were enrolled in the study. SLC polymorphisms were assessed by Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) for variations in SLC19A1 (G(80)A), SLCO1B1 (A(388)G, (TC)-C-521), and SLCO1B3 (A(1683-5676)G). Results and Discussion Our results showed that mutant genotype for SLC19A1 G(80)A polymorphism had higher median survival time (MST) compared to wild genotype. ADCC patients with mutant genotype showed better survival compared to wild genotype for SLC19A1 G(80)A. SCLC patients G(80)A polymorphism showed increased survival in patients with mutant genotype (p = 0.04). In SLCO1B3, A(1683-5676)G patients carrying heterozygous alleles and administered with platinum and docetaxel showed inferior survival (p = 0.006). In (TC)-C-521 variant, patients with carrier genotype had reduced chances of developing anaemia (p = 0.04). Patients with SLC19A1 and SLCO1B3 variants showed lower incidence of thrombocytopenia and nephrotoxicity. What is New and Conclusion Our findings imply that Solute Carrier gene polymorphisms modulate the overall survival in lung cancer patients undergoing platin-based doublet chemotherapy, also these polymorphisms have a modifying impact on the associated adverse events/toxicity. 收起
