Abstract excerpt
Variable expression and function of the cytochrome P4502D6 (CYP2D6) leads to distinct phenotypes termed ultrarapid (UM), extensive (EM), intermediate (IM) and poor metabolizer (PM). Whereas the PM phenotype is known to be caused by two null-alleles leading to absence of functional CYP2D6 protein, the large variability among individuals with functional alleles remained largely unexplained. In this study, we...
