Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis (TB) treatment remains a challenge owing to the high incidence of drug induced hepatotoxicity (DIH). Apart from environmental factors, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in drug metabolizing enzymes (DMEs), nuclear receptors (NRs) and transporter proteins (TPs) contribute to DIH. In the present study, we report known and novel SNPs in a total of seven genes of DMEs, NRs and TPs with...
