Clinical relevance of genetic polymorphisms in the human <i>CYP2C9</i> gene
20 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome p450 (CYP) 2C9 hydroxylates about 16% of drugs in current clinical use. Of special interest are those with a narrow therapeutic index, such as S-warfarin, tolbutamide and phenytoin, where impairment in CYP2C9 metabolic activity might cause difficulties in dose adjustment as well as toxicity. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the CYP2C9 gene have increasingly been recognized as determinants of...
