Rationale: Standardized dosing of antitubercular drugs contributes to a substantial incidence of toxicities, inadequate treatment response, and relapse, in part due to variable drug concentrations achieved. SNPs in the NAT2 (N-acetyltransferase-2) gene explain the majority of interindividual pharmacokinetic variability of isoniazid (INH). However, an obstacle to implementing pharmacogenomic-guided dosing is the...
