Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the association between adverse reactions to catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors and the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A9 genotypes UGT1A9*1b and UGT1A9*3a, which were previously identified in individual cases of COMT inhibitor-induced toxicity. METHODS: The study included 52 Parkinson's disease (PD) patients on COMT inhibitors without evidence of adverse reactions and 11 PD...
