Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs5758550, in a critical enhancer region downstream of the CYP2D6 promoter was proposed to modulate CYP2D6 activity, depending on its linkage disequilibrium (LD) with the common CYP2D6 SNP, rs16947. We examined the influence of individual biogeographical ancestry on the frequency distribution of rs5758550 and its LD with rs16947 in Latin American populations. We...
