Abstract excerpt
A subgroup of 10-15% of Caucasians are termed phenotypical 'intermediate metabolizers' of drug substrates of CYP2D6 because they have severely impaired yet residual in-vivo function of this cytochrome P450. Genotyping based on the currently known CYP2D6 alleles does not predict this phenotype satisfactorily. A systematic sequencing strategy through 1.6 kb of the CYP2D6 5'-flanking sequence revealed six mutations...
