Abstract excerpt
Polymorphism of CYP2D6 gene encoding for debrisoquine hydroxylase was determined genotypically for 94 controls and 77 lung cancer patients using a polymerase chain reaction-based application. Both of the point mutations that give rise to deficient alleles of the CYP2D6 gene are detectable by this method. Out of the 94 healthy controls, 3 individuals (3.2%) had poor metabolizer (PM) genotypes, whereas no PM...
