Concordance between the deduced acetylation status generated by high-speed: real-time PCR based NAT2 genotyping of seven single nucleotide polymorphisms and human NAT2 phenotypes determined by a caffeine assay.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The utility of typing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for the determination of the N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) acetylation status is a matter of debate. AIMS OF THE STUDY: Evaluation of the concordance between deduced genotype results of seven human NAT2 SNPs generated by Real-time PCR analysis and human NAT2 phenotypes. METHODS: NAT2 phenotypes of 38 Caucasian workers were determined using a...
