Impact of CYP2D6, MAOA, and UGT2B7 genetic variants on recurrence of Plasmodium Vivax in the Brazilian Amazon
2 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
The biotransformation of primaquine is mediated by cytochrome P-450 (CYP) enzymes and monoamine oxygenase A (MAO-A). Polymorphisms in the genes that encode these enzymes can alter the clinical response of patients with Plasmodium vivax malaria, leading to therapeutic failure and recurrences. This study aimed to investigate the influence of variations in CYP2D6, MAOA, and UGT2B7 genes on recurrences of vivax...
