Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 2B7 was recently identified as the main enzyme mediating efavirenz N-glucuronidation. In this study, we determined whether selected UGT2B7 polymorphisms could be used to enhance the prediction of efavirenz plasma concentrations from CYP2B6 and CYP2A6 genotypes. METHODS: Mid-dose efavirenz plasma concentrations were determined in 94 HIV-infected Ghanaian patients at 2-8...
