The effect of disease state on drug metabolism has been investigated using the relationship between genotype and metabolic phenotype. The two polymorphic probes, N-acetyltransferases-2 (NAT2) and cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19), were respectively used in HIV+/AIDS patients and patients with advanced cancer.
