BACKGROUND: Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) activity toward organophosphorus(OP) compounds shows inter-individual variations, rendering the identification of individuals' PON1 allozymes valuable in treating patients suffering from organophosphorus intoxication. One of the most important cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYPs) is CYP2D6. The CYP2D6 G1934A polymorphism leads to good, poor or no enzyme activity. Genetic testing...
