Abstract excerpt
CYP2D6 is a highly polymorphic enzyme that mediates the metabolism of around 20% of all currently prescribed drugs. Genetic variability within CYP2D6 results in poor (PM), intermediate (IM), extensive (EM) and ultra-rapid metabolisers (UM) of CYP2D6 substrates. Here we describe an assay which is able to detect the major PM (CYP2D6*3, *4, *5, *6), IM (CYP2D6*9, *10, *41) and UM (CYP2D6*nxn) alleles found in...
