Abstract excerpt
The UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) comprise a major excretion pathway for diverse endogenous and exogenous substrates. Relations are reported between polymorphisms of exon 1 of UGT1 and drug side effects or carcinogenesis, but few studies exist of common exon polymorphisms that exert influence throughout UGT1 isoforms. We analysed the polymorphism c.1091C>T, resulting in the amino acid substitution of...
