Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate associations of genetic polymorphisms in cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms 2D6, 3A5, and 3A4 with blood concentrations of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and its metabolite, N-desethyl HCQ (DHCQ), in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS: SLE patients taking HCQ for >3 months were recruited and were genotyped for 4 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in CYP2D6*10, CYP3A5*3, and...
