OBJECTIVES: CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6 belong to a subfamily of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, associated mainly with the metabolism of exogenous compounds in the human body. The genes coding for these enzymes are highly polymorphic and thus of major pharmacogenetic importance. By systematically retrieving data from the literature and genotyping new population samples, we aimed at describing the worldwide...
