Abstract excerpt
The occurrence of multiple copies of the CYP2D6 gene was investigated 217 white healthy Spaniards by the combined use of Xba I and Eco RI restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analyses. About 3.5% of the alleles yielded an 12.1 kb Eco RI-RFLP product in combination with the 42 kb Xba I-RFLP product, which is indicative of multiple CYP2D6. The prevalence of subjects carrying multiple CYP2D6 was 7%. The...
