BACKGROUND: Individuals with the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 intermediate metabolizer (IM) phenotype have low residual enzyme activity and compose about 10% to 15% of white populations. Their identification is clinically relevant but remains unsatisfactory because of incomplete characterization of the major allele involved, termed CYP2D6*41 (-1584C, R296C, S486T). METHODS: To search for novel mutations,...
