Abstract excerpt
N-acetylation polymorphism is one of the representative pharmacogenetic traits that underlie interindividual and interethnic differences in response to xenobiotics. To develop a practical genotyping method to predict acetylator phenotype, we studied the conditions for accurate phenotyping, and identified the phenotype in 51 Japanese. Then we performed Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA from these subjects...
