Abstract excerpt
Arylamine N-acetyltranferase 2 is the main enzyme responsible for the isoniazid metabolization into hepatotoxic intermediates and the degree of hepatotoxicity severity has been attributed to genetic variability in the NAT2 gene. The main goal of this study was to describe the genetic profile of the NAT2 gene in individuals from two different regions of Brazil: Rio de Janeiro and Goiás States. Therefore, after...
