Abstract excerpt
Calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) are metabolized by cytochrome-P4503A (CYP3A) enzymes and extruded into the intestinal lumen by the drug efflux pump, P-glycoprotein (P-gp). The impact of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of genes encoding CYP3A5 and P-gp on CNI dosing was examined among Asian renal transplant recipients. Frequencies of CYP3A5*1 versus *3 and MDR1-C3435T were correlated with tacrolimus (TAC) and...
