Abstract excerpt
The relationship between genotypes associated with restriction fragment length polymorphisms at the P450 CYP2D locus and the metabolic phenotypes for sparteine in healthy Japanese subjects was investigated. Four distinct restriction fragments of 44 kb, 29 kb, 11.5 kb or 16 + 9 kb after digestion with Xba I were observed. The genotype of Xba I 11.5 kb, which is predictive of the poor metabolizer phenotype in...
