Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) is one of the most important enzymes catalyzing biotransformation of xenobiotics in the human liver. This enzyme's activity shows a high degree of interindividual variability caused in part by its genetic polymorphism, the so-called debrisoquine/sparteine polymorphism. The genetic component influencing CYP2D6 activity can be determined by genotyping. However, genotyping...
