Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: The N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) gene encodes an enzyme which both activates and deactivates arylamine and other drugs and carcinogens. This study was aimed to investigate the role of NAT2 gene polymorphism in anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity (DIH). METHODS: In this prospective study, polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism results for NAT2 gene...
