Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The clinical utility of CYP2D6 genotyping in predicting tamoxifen outcomes remains controversial, partly due to incomplete allele coverage and limited assessment of copy number variation (CNV). We aimed to expand CYP2D6 genetic profiling in Syrian breast cancer patients and to reassess phenotype classification and its clinical relevance. METHODS: In this retrospective cohort of estrogen...
