Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome P450 2C8 (CYP2C8) plays a major role in the metabolism of therapeutically important drugs which exhibit large interindividual differences in their pharmacokinetics. In order to evaluate any genetic influence on this variation, a CYP2C8 phenotype-genotype evaluation was carried out in Caucasians. Two novel CYP2C8 haplotypes, named B and C with frequencies of 24 and 22% in Caucasians, respectively, were...
