Methotrexate (MTX) is an antifolate agent that is often associated with toxicity. This study investigated whether risk genotypes for folate‐dependent enzymes are associated with the toxicity of MTX in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Blood was collected for analysis in a muticenter, cross‐sectional study of RA patients who had been receiving MTX for at least 1 month prior to enrollment, and side effects occurring at the time of a single study visit were recorded. Low‐penetrance risk genotypes in methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677TT, thymidylate synthase (TSER) *2/*2 (variable number of tandem repeats), amino imidazole ribonucleotide transformylase (ATIC) 347GG, and serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT1) 1420CC were measured and summed to constitute the toxicogenetic index specific to each patient. Statistical analyses consisted of logistic regression models with clustered‐center effects, and associations with risk genotypes were expressed as adjusted odds ratios (ORs).Among 214 patients enrolled at 4 study sites, a total of 67 patients (31%) presented with a side effect (gastrointestinal event, headache, lethargy, alopecia, cough, or dyspnea). Risk genotypes associated with side effects in the central nervous system were MTHFR 677TT (OR 3.3, P < 0.01) and SHMT1 1420CC (OR 2.4, P < 0.05). ATIC 347GG was associated with gastrointestinal side effects (OR 3.0, P < 0.01), while TSER*2/*2 (OR 5.4, P < 0.01) and SHMT1 1420CC (OR 3.2, P < 0.01) were associated with alopecia. The toxicogenetic index ranged from 0 to 3 (median 1). An index of 3 was associated with an ∼7‐fold higher likelihood of having a side effect compared with an index of 0 (P < 0.01).These data suggest that a composite index of the cumulative risk genotypes in folate‐dependent enzymes may be an effective means of profiling RA patients who develop side effects to MTX.
