Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A CYP3A5 gene polymorphism is the main determinant of Tacrolimus (Tac) dose requirements among renal transplanted patients. In spite of the utility of CYP3A5 genotyping to predict the Tac-dose, many patients exhibit an out of range blood Tac level and it is thus likely that other genes/polymorphisms contribute to define Tac bioavailability. To address this issue we searched for coding sequence...
