Abstract excerpt
Hepatotoxicity is the most frequent adverse drug reaction (ADR) in Japanese treated with ticlopidine (TP). We investigated the relationship between CYP2B6 haplotype and incidence of TP-induced hepatotoxicity in 114 Japanese patients. Although 4 haplotypes (*1A, *1H, *1J and *6B) accounted for more than 80% of the inferred haplotypes in both control (n=81) and case (n=22) subjects, the prevalence was apparently...
