Abstract:
Anthracyclines are a major component of chemotherapies used in many pediatric and adult malignancies. Anthracycline-associated cardiotoxicity (ACT) is a dose-dependent adverse effect that has substantial impact on morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the identification of genetic variants associated with increased risk of ACT has the potential for significant clinical impact to improve patient care. The goal of this review is to summarize the current evidence supporting genetic variants associated with ACT, identify gaps and limitations in current knowledge, and propose future directions for incorporating genetics into clinical practice for patients treated with anthracyclines. We will discuss mechanisms of ACT that could be illuminated by genetics and discuss clinical applications for the cardiologist/cardio-oncologist.
