CYP2D6 Haplotype Determination Using Long Range Allele-Specific Amplification: Resolution of a Complex Genotype and a Discordant Genotype Involving the CYP2D6*59 Allele.

Abstract excerpt

Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6, a major contributor to the metabolism and bioactivation of many clinically used drugs, is encoded by a complex, highly polymorphic gene locus. To aid in the characterization of CYP2D6 allelic variation, we developed allele-specific long-range PCR (ASXL-PCR) to amplify only the allele of interest for further characterization by PCR. This development was achieved utilizing...
