NAT 2 and CYP 2 E 1 polymorphisms associated with antituberculosis drug‐induced hepatotoxicity in C hinese patients
17 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
1. The present study investigated the relationship between antituberculosis (anti-TB) drug-induced hepatotoxicity and genetic polymorphisms of two important drug-metabolizing enzymes involved in the metabolism of isoniazid, namely N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) and cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1). 2. A polymerase chain reaction direct sequencing approach was used to detect genetic polymorphisms of the NAT2 and CYP2E1...
