Replication Study to Confirm the Role of CYP2D6 Polymorphism rs1080985 on Donepezil Efficacy in Alzheimer's Disease Patients
18 Jun 2012
Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder often treated with donepezil, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. Response to donepezil is variable, probably based on patients' genetic background in donepezil metabolizing enzymes, including cytochrome 2D6 (CYP2D6). We evaluated the association between clinical response to donepezil and a common variant (rs1080985) of CYP2D6, previously reported to be...
