Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Genetic polymorphisms in the N-acetyltransferase 2 gene determine the individual acetylator status, which influences both the toxicity and efficacy profile of acetylated drugs. Determination of an individual's acetylation phenotype prior to initiation of therapy, through DNA-based tests, should permit to improve therapy response and reduce adverse events. However, due to extensive linkage disequilibrium...
