Abstract excerpt
The molecular basis of polymorphic debrisoquin hydroxylation was studied in 223 Swedish white subjects, 187 extensive metabolizers and 36 poor metabolizers phenotyped with debrisoquin and desipramine. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the CYP2D6 gene revealed that 52% of unrelated poor metabolizers were homozygous for Xba I 29 kb fragment, and only 8% had two mutant alleles detected with...
