Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome p4502C19 (CYP2C19) plays an important role in drug biotransformation and has been shown to be genetically polymorphic. While polymorphisms in the coding region that have large effects on activity are well described, until recently, a lack of knowledge of the promoter sequence has hindered efforts to study it. Genetic variants in the promoter region have not been described and factors that influence its...
