Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Two of the most frequently deleted genes in the human genome are the UDP-glycosyltransferases UGT2B17 and UGT2B28. They encode metabolic enzymes of the glucuronidation pathway that plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis for a variety of small molecule metabolites. These deletions may impact health, yet their effects remain poorly understood. We evaluated the impact of UGT...
