The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between clinical efficacy response and disease activity of MTX monotherapy with methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and methionine synthase reductase (MTRR) polymorphisms.Patients and Methods: In the study, a population of 32 patients in East China with early RA fulfilling the diagnostic standards of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) were enrolled, all of them received MTX monotherapy. Genotyping of patients MTHFR C677T and A1298C, MTRR A66G using tetra-primer ARMS-PCR method and sanger sequencing to verify its accuracy.Results: The distribution of three polymorphic genotypes that were studied is in accordance with the Hardy-Weinberg genetic equilibrium. The patient pathology variables smoke (OR = 0.088, P = 0.037), drink alcohol (OR = 0.039, P = 0.016) and males (OR = 0.088, P = 0.037) were significantly associated with non-response to MTX. Genotype, allele distribution and genetic statistical models were not found to be related to MTX treatment response and disease activity in both the response groups and non-response groups.Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the MTHFR C677T, MTHFR A1298C and MTRR A66G polymorphisms may not predict MTX clinical treatment response and disease activity in patients with early RA. The study revealed that smoke, alcohol, and males were possible influential factors for MTX non-response.Keywords: MTHFR, MTRR, methotrexate, rheumatoid arthritis, DAS28 |
