Abstract excerpt
The sparteine/debrisoquine polymorphism is a clinically important genetic deficiency of cytochrome P4502D6-catalyzed oxidative drug metabolism. 5-10% of Caucasians designated as poor metabolizers have a severely impaired capacity to metabolize more than 30 therapeutically used drugs. Genotyping of a random Caucasian population for the known cytochrome P4502D6 mutations A, B and D which are associated with the...
