Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: CYP3A is the major enzyme responsible for metabolism of the calcineurin inhibitors cyclosporine (CsA) and tacrolimus. Our objective was to determine the relationship between genetic polymorphisms of CYP3A5 with respect to interindividual variability in CsA and tacrolimus pharmacokinetics. METHODS: Kidney transplant recipients receiving CsA (n = 137) or tacrolimus (n = 30) were genotyped for CYP3A5*3...
