Haplotypes of variants in the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase1A9 and 1A1 genes
1 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Nine different functional UGT1A enzymes are generated from a single UGT1A gene by alternative splicing, with each enzyme having a unique exon 1. SN-38, the active metabolite of the anticancer agent irinotecan, is metabolized by both UGT1A1 and UGT1A9. We aim to characterize the UGT1A9-UGT1A1 haplotypes in Asians and Caucasians and gain insights on their functional consequences. METHODS: Asian and...
