Abstract excerpt
Lanosterol 14a-demethylase CYP51 is the most conserved cytochrome P450 (CYP) and is a part of hepatic cholesterol synthesis. Other liver CYPs contribute to cholesterol detoxification through bile acids or to xenobiotic detoxification (DM). To get novel insights into characteristics of the CYP51A1 locus that was so far not linked to human disorders we performed a meta-analysis of CYP51A1 gene polymorphisms in...
