Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Donepezil was approved for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) but causes variable therapeutic responses. Thus, identifying specific genetic polymorphisms, which can predict a therapeutic response to donepezil, would enable a development of personalized strategy to treatment for patients with AD. The research aimed to exam the impact of the cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) single nucleotide...
