Sulfonylureas are metabolized mainly by the cytochrome p450 2C9 (CYP2C9) enzyme. Two CYP2C9 variants--*2 (Arg144Cys) and *3 (Ile359Leu)--are associated with reduced enzyme activity and impaired substrate metabolism. We identified 1,073 incident users of sulfonylureas in Tayside, Scotland, and assessed the impact of the combined CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 genotypes on early and sustained sulfonylurea response. We found...
