Abstract excerpt
Two poor metabolizer individuals of debrisoquine were identified among 215 healthy Japanese by a phenotyping test. Analysis of the CYP2D6 gene from one of two poor metabolizers, who was not homozygous for the previously described CYP2D6 variant alleles (CYP2D6*3, CYP2D6*4, CYP2D6*5 and CYP2D6*18), showed that this individual was heterozygous for a new allele, CYP2D6/C8 (CYP2D6*21). CYP2D6*21 had a single cytosine...
