Background: Interindividual variation in response to anti-TNF alpha therapy may be explained by genetic variability in disease pathogenesis or mechanism of action. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have increased our understanding of the genetic susceptibility to IBD. The aim was to test associations of known IBD susceptibility loci and novel pharmacogenetic GWAS identified loci with primary nonresponse to anti-TNF alpha in pediatric IBD patients and develop a predictive model of primary nonresponse. Methods: Primary nonresponse was defined using the Harvey Bradshaw Index (HBI) for Crohn's disease (CD) and partial Mayo score for ulcerative colitis (UC). Genotyping was performed using the II lumina Infinium platform. Chi-square analysis tested associations of phenotype and genotype with primary nonresponse. Genetic associations were identified by testing known IBD susceptibility loci and by performing a GWAS for primary nonresponse. Stepwise multiple logistic regression was performed to build predictive models. Results: Nonresponse occurred in 22 of 94 subjects. Six known susceptibility loci were associated with primary nonresponse (P < 0.05). Only the 21q22.2/BRWDI loci remained significant in the predictive model. The most predictive model included 3 novel pANCA, and a UC diagnosis (R(2) = 0.82 and area under the curve [AUC] = 0.98%). The relative risk of nonresponse increased 15-fold when number of risk factors increased from 0-2 to >= 3. Conclusions: The combination of phenotype and genotype is most predictive of primary nonresponse to anti-TNF alpha in pediatric IBD. Defining predictors of response to anti-TNF alpha may allow the identification of patients who will not benefit from this class of therapy.
