Abstract excerpt
Introduction: Leflunomide is one of the commonly used drugs in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which on administration is converted into its active metabolite teriflunomide. Aim: Our aim is to evaluate the frequencies of dihydrooroate dehydrogenase (DHODH) (rs3213422), ABCG2 (rs2231142) and CYP2C19 (rs4244285) allele distribution among patients receiving leflunomide for RA and their possible impact on...
