Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: CYP2D6 is a liver enzyme that metabolizes more that 25% of drugs and thus may play a pivotal role in drug-drug interactions. The promoter sequences of cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) gene could impact metabolic activity. METHODS: We analyzed genetic variations in the promoter sequence of CYP2D6 gene for 71 hepatitis C negative and 15 hepatitis C positive subjects. RESULTS: We found two novel genetic...
