Abstract excerpt
Numerous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been identified in the human genome, yet the functional significance of most is unknown. CYP3A4 is a key enzyme in the metabolism of numerous compounds. An A-->G substitution 290 bp upstream of the CYP3A4 transcription start site (CYP3A4*1B) has been associated with cancer phenotypes, but its phenotypic effects are unclear. To investigate the functional...
