Abstract excerpt
Genetic polymorphism of cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) and cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) is widely known to contribute to interindividual differences in the pharmacokinetics of some antiepileptic drugs. We developed a rapid detection assay of polymorphisms of CYP2C9 and CYP2C19, using the Light Cycler(®) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system. Using this assay, we examined polymorphisms in 20 Japanese pediatric...
