Abstract excerpt
The two classes of leukotriene modifiers work by inhibiting different portions of the same pathway. We hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes associated with response to montelukast (a cys-leukotriene receptor antagonist) would also be associated with response to zileuton (a 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor). We genotyped 26 SNPs that had previously been interrogated for association with...
