Pharmacogenetics of the 5-lipoxygenase biosynthetic pathway and variable clinical response to montelukast
1 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Interindividual clinical response to leukotriene modifiers is highly variable, and less efficacious than inhaled corticosteroids in treating asthma. Genetic variability in 5-lipoxygenase biosynthetic and receptor pathway gene loci may influence cysteinyl-leukotriene production and subsequent response to leukotriene modifiers. METHODS: Using data from two clinical trials of 12-week duration, post-hoc...
