The present study focused on evaluation of the extent to which genotype coding for N-acetyltransferase agrees with acetylation phenotype in children at various ages. In 82 Caucasian children aged from 1 mo to 17 y (57 boys and 25 girls) and including 37 infants, the acetylation phenotype was evaluated from the urinary metabolic ratio of 5-acetylamino-6-formylamino-3-methyluracil (AFMU) to 1-methylxanthine (1X)...
