Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The polymorphic enzyme UGT2B7 metabolizes mycophenolic acid into acyl-mycophenolic acid-glucuronide (AcMPAG), a presumably toxic metabolite. This study aimed at investigating in vitro and in vivo the impact on AcMPAG production of: (i) the UGT2B7 gene G-842A single nucleotide polymorphism, in complete linkage disequilibrium with most other known single nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter region...
