Abstract excerpt
Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressive drug widely used in kidney transplantation. Cytochrome P450 3A5 (CYP3A5) protein is involved in tacrolimus metabolism. Single nucleotide polymorphism in the CYP3A5 gene (6986A>G) results in alteration in metabolic activity of CYP3A5 protein which eventually affects the tacrolimus concentration. Patients with CYP3A5 expresser genotypes (A/A *1/*1 and A/G *1/*3) metabolize...
