PurposeTo determine whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of genes coding for matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and the prostaglandin F2α receptor gene (PTGFR) are related to a response to latanoprost in a white Spanish population of glaucomatous patients.DesignCase-control study.ParticipantsOne hundred twenty-four patients with open-angle glaucoma.MethodsGenotyping was performed in 117 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma with a minimum treatment duration of 4 weeks. Candidate genes and individual polymorphisms were selected according to the effect on the mechanism of action of latanoprost. Multi-SNP haplotype analyses for associations also were tested.Main Outcome MeasuresDiurnal intraocular pressure reduction and genotyping of the SNPs in the MMPs and PTGFR.ResultsThe PTGFR SNPs were associated with positive (rs6686438, rs10786455) and negative (rs3753380, rs6672484, rs11578155) responses to latanoprost. Multiple testing found 2 genes, PTGFR and MMP-1, were related to refractoriness to latanoprost.ConclusionsThe SNPs of the PTGFR and MMP-1 genes may determine the latanoprost response in a white European Spanish population. This study identified 5 SNPs related to the latanoprost response; 1 SNP, rs3753380, already has been associated with a poor response to latanoprost in a healthy Japanese population. Latanoprost is a commonly used antiglaucomatous drug, and increased knowledge of its mechanism of action will lead to advances in pharmacogenetics.
