Abstract

Background: Lichenoid drug eruptions (LDE) in the oral cavity are adverse drug reactions (ADR) that are impossible to differentiate from oral lichen planus (OLP) as no phenotypic criteria exist. Impaired function of polymorphic cytochrome 450-enzymes (CYPs) may cause increased plasma concentration of some drugs resulting in ADR/LDE. In an earlier study we did not find more patients with OLP (OLPs) with impaired CYP-genotype. Objectives: To test if more OLPs have an impaired CYP-phenotype than to be expected from the CYP-genotype and to find clinical criteria characterising oral LDE. Methods: One hundred and twenty OLPs were genotyped for the most common polymorphisms of CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 that result in impaired function. One hundred and ten did a phenotype test of both enzymes. The exposure to drugs and polypharmacy and the CYP metabolism of the drugs were evaluated. The OLP manifestations were registered. Results: The only difference in OLP manifestations was that patients with a CYP2D6 genotype with less than two fully functional alleles presented more asymmetrical OLP distribution in particular in non-medicated patients (P < 0.05). No more OLPs than expected from the genotype had a phenotype with reduced function. However, the established phenotypic categories could not differentiate between the genotypes with two or one fully functional allele. Nevertheless, among the patients with a phenotype with normal function the patients with only one functional allele had a statistically significant higher metabolic ratio compared to patients with two fully functional alleles (P < 0.05). Conclusion: It was not possible to identify LDE by impaired function of polymorphic CYPs.
