Abstract excerpt
The NAT2 gene encodes N-acetyltransferase 2, an enzyme critically involved in the biotransformation of numerous xenobiotics and aromatic amines, including isoniazid, a cornerstone drug in tuberculosis therapy. Genetic polymorphisms in NAT2 lead to variable acetylation rates, clinically categorized as poor, intermediate, or rapid metabolizer phenotypes influencing drug efficacy and toxicity. This study aims to...
