Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: although CYP2D6*36 was thought to be one of the alleles causing the poor metabolizer phenotype, several in vitro studies clarified that the enzyme produced by CYP2D6*36 showed enzymatic activities. However, the effects of CYP2D6*36 in tandem with CYP2D6*10 on the in vivo CYP2D6 activity have been unclear. In this study, we investigated in vivo metabolic capacities of CYP2D6 among the subjects carrying...
