Low-dose methotrexate (MTX) is a first-line therapy for the treatment of arthritis. However, there is considerable interindividual variability in MTX exposure following standard dosing. Polymorphisms in SLCO1B1 significantly effect MTX clearance, altering therapeutic response. One decreased function variant, rs4149056 (c.521T>C, Val174Ala), slows MTX clearance and in vitro uptake of MTX. This phenotype was...
