Abstract excerpt
Deficient debrisoquine/sparteine type oxidation is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. Of all Caucasians, 5-10% are poor metabolisers, due to the absence of cytochrome P4502D6. Extensive metabolisers (EMs) exhibit highly variable metabolic activity. We investigated the relationship between CYP2D6 activity and genotypes of the CYP2D locus in a large set of French Caucasian families. Genotypes concern both...
