PG - 1042-1049 LID - S0012-3692(11)60228-6 [pii] LID - 10.1378/chest.10-2517 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Vasopressin is an essential peptide hormone regulating cardiovascular homeostasis and an adjunctive vasopressor therapy for septic shock. METHODS: We tested for association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in vasopressin pathway genes and altered outcome in derivation (n = 589) and replication (n = 616) cohorts of patients with septic shock. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality and the secondary outcome was vasopressin clearance. In a third cardiac surgical cohort (n = 977), we tested for locus-specific heritability of serum sodium concentrations. RESULTS: Of 17 tested tag SNPs in five vasopressin pathway genes (arginine vasopressin [AVP], arginine vasopressin receptor 1A and 1B [AVPR1A, AVPR1B], leucyl/cystinyl aminopeptidase [LNPEP], and oxytocin receptor [OXTR]), rs18059 in LNPEP (also known as vasopressinase) was associated with 28-day mortality in the derivation cohort (P = .037). Therefore, we resequenced the 160-kb haplotype block encompassing the LNPEP gene, including rs18059, and genotyped the 230 identified SNPs in the derivation cohort. The strongest signal was found for LNPEP rs4869317 (adjusted P = .044). The rs4869317 TT genotype was associated with increased 28-day mortality in the derivation cohort (51.0% [TT] vs 34.5% [AA/AT]; adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.58; 95% CI, 1.21-2.06; P = .00073) and the replication cohort (38.6% vs 29.6%; HR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.03-1.80; P = .030). We found that the TT genotype was associated with increased plasma vasopressin clearance (P = .028), and the rs4869317 genotype accounted for 80% of the variance of serum sodium concentrations (locus-specific heritability) in cardiac surgical patients. CONCLUSIONS: The genetic variation in LNPEP (vasopressinase) is associated with 28-day mortality in septic shock and is associated with biologic effects on vasopressin clearance and serum sodium regulation. Further confirmation in additional cohorts is required.
