Abstract excerpt

We investigated the impact of this allele on the metabolism of the CYP3A-phenotyping probes, midazolam (MDZ) and erythromycin. PATIENTS & METHODS: Genomic DNA from 108 cancer patients receiving intravenous MDZ and 45 undergoing the erythromycin breath test was analyzed for CYP3A4*22 (rs35599367 C>T) and CYP3A5*3....
