Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) is one of the best-known polymorphic drug-metabolizing enzymes. Rapidly evolving genotyping techniques permit the identification of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and thereby a prediction of individual metabolic capacities for CYP2D6 substrates. A considerable part of interindividual variability in CYP2D6 enzyme activity, however, is not related to SNPs but to gene...
