Abstract excerpt
Haloperidol is one of the major neuroleptics partly metabolized by cytochrome P-450 2D6 (CYP2D6), which has over 10 genetic polymorphisms. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether individual haloperidol plasma concentration was affected by CYP 2D6 gene polymorphisms. The genomic DNA of 56 subjects who have been taking haloperidol were analysed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method...
