Abstract excerpt
CYP1A2 is a cytochrome P450 gene that is involved in human physiological responses to a variety of drugs and toxins. To investigate the role of population history and natural selection in shaping genetic diversity in CYP1A2, we sequenced a 3.7-kb region 5' from CYP1A2 in a diverse collection of 113 individuals from three major continental regions of the Old World (Africa, Asia, and Europe). We also examined...
