Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: UGT1A1 is involved in glucuronidation of drugs and plays a large role in metabolism. Genotyping variants of differing dinucleotide TA repeat length within the TATA box of the UGT1A1 region (dbSNP ID rs3064744) are utilized in the dosing of irinotecan and atazanavir for pharmacogenomics purposes. Here we describe a CLIA-validated PCR and fragment analysis assay that distinguishes between UGT1A1*36...
