Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Antituberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity (ATDH) remains a common and severe challenge in tuberculosis (TB) chemotherapy. A growing number of studies have revealed that genetic polymorphisms affect an individual's susceptibility to ATDH. The aim of this study was to explore the role of cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily B member 6 (CYP2B6) gene polymorphisms in the development of ATDH in Chinese TB...
