Objectives Methotrexate (MTX) is an effective immunosuppressive treatment in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) but its use is limited by unpredictable toxicity and efficacy. MTX metabolism is complex involving a number of enzymes. An individual's response to MTX may in part be genetically determined by functional genetic variation in genes encoding these enzymes. We report a pharmacogenetic evaluation of MTX therapy in IBD. Methods We studied 102 11513 patients treated with MTX, and 202 patients with Crohn's disease (CD), 205 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and 189 healthy volunteers served as controls to assess allele frequencies in the disease and healthy populations. All subjects were genotyped for four polymorphisms: G80A in the reduced folate carrier (RFC1) gene, G452T in the gamma-glutamyl hydrolase (GGH) gene and C677T and All 298C in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene. Three non-conservative SNPs in the RFC1 and the MTHFR gene could not be detected in our patient cohort. Genotype-phenotype associations were evaluated with respect to efficacy and toxicity of MTX therapy. Results No significant differences in the allele frequencies between CD, UC and healthy controls were detected. Overall 21% of patients experienced MTX side effects. Patients homozygous for the MTHFR 1298C allele were more likely to experience one or more side effects compared to patients with the wild-type 1298AA genotype (21.0 vs. 6.3%, P<0.05). None of the genotyped SNPs or haplotypes, either alone or in combination, was associated with short-term efficacy or sustained response. Conclusions Side effects of MTX in IBD are associated with a SNP in the MTHFR gene but response cannot be predicted by any of the investigated SNPs.
