Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Wide interindividual variation in responses to cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitory drugs limits their clinical utility and safety. METHODS: To better understand the molecular responses to COX inhibition, we analyzed the gene expression level of the genes encoding enzymes related to prostaglandin production including the COX-1 gene (PTGS1) and the COX-2 gene (PTGS2), as well as their genetic polymorphisms,...
