Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) genotypes and the dextromethorphan/dextrorphan (DXM/DXT) metabolic ratio (MR), which is a marker of CYP2D6 activity, were studied in 118 unrelated healthy Ecuadorians. METHODS: Genotyping of CYP2D6 was performed by amplification of entire CYP2D6 gene by XL-PCR for CYP2D6*5 and multiplication alleles and by real time-PCR for CYP2D6 *2, *3, *4, *6, *10, *17, *29, *35, *41, and...
