Objective  To analyze literatures reported allele frequencies of CYP2C191,2,3 for healthy Asian populations, and to provide evidence-based data for further personalized drug therapy and pharmacogenomics research.
Methods  Relevant articles were electronically retrieved from digital databases of PubMed, EMbase, The Cochran Library, CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP and CBM, and the articles reporting the allele frequencies of CYP2C19 were included. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the data of the allele frequencies of the gene were extracted, pooled, and analyzed.
Results  A total of 41 articles were included, involving 9 841 healthy Asians from 17 countries. Analyses were conducted according to regional features, based on China, East Asia (China, Korea and Japan), Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Myanmar, Indonesia and Philippines), South Asia (India), and West Asia (Palestine, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iranian and Jordan). The major results showed that the allele frequencies of CYP2C191,2,3 were 61.3%, 32.1% and 6.6% (Chinese, n=4170); 61.0%, 31.2% and 7.8% (East Asians, n=5879); 67.6%, 28.8% and 3.7% (East South Asians, n=1985); 64.0%, 35.2% and 0.8% (South Asians, n=679); and 87.3%, 12.1% and 0.6% (West Asians, n=1298), respectively. Based on the included 9841 healthy Asians from 17 countries, the total allele frequencies of CYP2C191,2,3 were 66.0%, 28.4% and 5.5%, respectively.
Conclusion  The allele frequencies of CYP2C191,2,3 2 fairly differ in ethnic groups in China, as well as in regions in Asia. Besides, genetic variation is impacted by geographical factors such as regions and environment.
