Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have indicated that there is weak genetic linkage between the defective gene in cystic fibrosis (CFTR) and the gene encoding the nifedipine metabolizing enzyme P4503A4 which are both located on chromosome 7. To examine further this possible association, nifedipine metabolism was investigated in a group of 59 volunteers, and 17 adult cystic fibrosis patients and 37 of their relatives. In agreement...
