Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human response to the antidiabetic metformin is influenced by some factors, such as genetic variants in the SLC22A genes. This study aimed to determine the frequency of main SLC22A1 and SLC22A3 genetic variants and their influence on metformin pharmacokinetics among healthy unrelated Arab Jordanians. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The SLC22A1 and SLC22A3 genes were genotyped by DNA sequencing of exons 1, 3, 7,...
