Present invention provides a method for screening
drug-induced
toxicity and screening for
drug-induced
toxicity by using the NAT2, CYP2E1 and
Xanthine Oxidase genes, in particular, provides a method for screening TB
drug-induced hepatotoxicity. The method of present invention includes providing test specimen, detection of at least one type of SNPs of the NAT2, CYP2E1 and
Xanthine Oxidase genes from the
DNA of said test specimen; presence of the SNP
genotype indicates the test specimen has a risk for developing anti-TB drug-induced
toxicity; said SNP
genotype is selected from at least one of the following groups or their combinations thereof: rs1041983, rs1112005, rs1495741, rs1799930, rs1799931, rs1801280, rs1961456, rs2087852, rs11996129, rs2031920, rs2249695, rs3813865, rs3813867, rs1884725, rs2295475 and rs17011368. Moreover, the
screening method of the invention includes the test specimen, detection of at least one type of SNPs of the
Xanthine Oxidase
gene from the
DNA of said test specimen; presence of the SNP
haplotype indicates the test specimen has a risk for developing high
uric acid and its related diseases; said SNP
genotype is selected from at least one of the following groups or their combinations thereof: rs1884725, rs2295475 and rs17011368.
