Abstract excerpt
Analysis of variants of exon 7 sequences in cytochrome P450 gene 3A4 in a sample of Caucasoid persons was carried out. The effect of these variants on activity of CYP3A was assessed by the level of cortisol 6beta-hydroxylation. Alleles CYP3A4*5 and *17 were not detected: probably, these mutations are rare and consequently they have little effect on the character of polymorphic distribution of CYP3A4 activity in...
