Abstract excerpt
Genetic polymorphisms of CYP2A6 gene are known as a causal factor of the interindividual differences in nicotine metabolism. We found three novel CYP2A6 alleles. The CYP2A6(*)18A allele has a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of A5668T (A1175T, Y392F) in exon 8. The CYP2A6(*)18B allele has synonymous SNPs of G51A (G51A), T5684C (T1191C), and T5702C (T1209C) in addition to A5668T (A1175T, Y392F). The...
