Background The role of collagen type XVIII alpha 1 chain ( COL18A1 ) in anti‐tuberculosis drug‐induced hepatotoxicity (ATDH) has not been reported. This study aimed to explore the association between of COL18A1 variants and ATDH susceptibility. Methods A total of 746 patients were enrolled in our study from December 2016 to April 2018, and all subjects in the study signed an informed consent form. The custom‐by‐design 2x48‐Plex SNPscanTM kit was used to genotype all selected 11 SNPs. Categorical variables were compared by chi‐square (χ 2 ) or Fisher's exact test, while continuous variables were compared by Mann‐Whitney's U test. Plink was utilized to analyze allelic and genotypic frequencies, and genetic models. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to adjust potential factors. The odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were also calculated. Results Among patients with successfully genotyping, there were 114 cases and 612 controls. The mutant A allele of rs12483377 conferred the decreased risk of ATDH (OR = 0.13, 95%CI: 0.02–0.98, P = 0.020), and this significance still existed after adjusting age and gender ( P = 0.024). The mutant homozygote AA genotype of rs12483377 was associated with decreased total protein levels ( P = 0.018). Conclusion Our study first revealed that the A allele of COL18A1 rs12483377 was associated with the decreased risk of ATDH in the Western Chinese Han population, providing new perspective for the molecular prediction, precise diagnosis, and individual treatment of ATDH.
