Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B7 (UGT2B7) plays a central role in the liver-mediated biotransformation of endogenous and exogenous compounds. The genetic basis of interindividual variability in UGT2B7 function is unknown. This study aimed to discover novel gene variants of functional significance. METHODS: Caucasian human livers (n=54) were used. UGT2B7 was resequenced in 12 samples [(six highest and...
