BACKGROUND Dermatologic adverse events(DAEs)are associated with a better outcome in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)irrespective of the therapeutic agent *** exact mechanisms associated with the development of DAEs are unknown although several studies point to direct toxicity of tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKIs)to the skin or an immune-mediated reaction triggered by the oncologic *** is the case in other conditions,individual genetic variants may partially explain a higher risk of *** To evaluate the contribution of several gene variants to the risk of developing DAEs in HCC patients treated with *** We first analyzed 27 single-nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)from 12 genes selected as potential predictors of adverse event(AE)development in HCC patients treated with sorafenib[Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer 1(BCLC1)cohort].Three additional cohorts were analyzed for AGT1(rs699)and AGT2(rs4762)polymorphisms-initially identified as predictors of DAEs:BCLC2(n=79),Northern Italy(n=221)and Naples(n=69)cohorts,*** relation between SNPs and DAEs and death were assessed by univariate and multivariate Cox regression models,and presented with hazard ratios and their 95%confidence intervals(95%CI).RESULTS The BCLC1 cohort showed that patients with arterial hypertension(AHT)(HR=1.61;P value=0.007)and/or AGT SNPs had an increased risk of ***,AGT2(rs4762)AA genotype was found to be linked to a statistically significant increased probability of DAEs(HR=5.97;P value=0.0201,AA vs GG)in the Northern Italy cohort by multivariate analysis adjusted for BCLC stage,ECOG-PS,diabetes and *** value of this genetic marker was externally validated in the cohort combining the BCLC1,BCLC2 and Naples cohorts[HR=3.12(95%CI:1.2-8.14),P value=0.0199,AGT2(rs4762)AA vs AG genotype and HR=2.73(95%CI:1.18-6.32)P value=0.0188,AGT2(rs4762)AA vs GG genotype].None of the other gene variants tested were found to be associated with the risk of D
