Abstract excerpt
Genetic polymorphisms of drug metabolizing enzymes, such as cytochromes P450 (CYPs), play major roles in the variations of drug responsiveness in human. The aim of this study is to identify the high prevalence (minor allele frequencies >1%) of the abnormal metabolite alleles of CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, and CYP3A5 in the Taiwanese population. The genotyping of the functional single nucleotide polymorphisms...
