Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 catalyses the metabolism of a wide range of drugs. Previous studies have shown the differences in the amino acid composition among CYP2C9 variants at Cys144/Arg, Tyr358/Cys, Leu359/Ile, and Gly417/Asp. PCR-endonuclease digestion methods have been developed to detect these four possible polymorphisms. The T416-->C mutation in exon 3 of CYP2C9 (Cys144-->Arg) creates an Ava II site. In the...
