Abstract excerpt
Women have a higher risk of drug-induced hepatotoxicity during antituberculosis treatment (HATT) than men. We hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotype and derived haplotype of pregnane X receptor (PXR) gene, which could regulate the expression of phase I enzyme cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4, had a sex-specific influence on the risk of HATT. Six SNPs of the PXR gene were sequenced. Genotypes and...
