Genetically determined adverse drug reactions involving metabolism.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic factors represent an important source of interindividual variation in drug response. Relatively few adverse drug effects with a pharmacodynamic basis are known, and most of the well characterised inherited traits take the form of genetic polymorphisms of drug metabolism. Monogenic control of N-acetylation, S-methylation and cytochrome P450-catalysed oxidation of drugs can have important clinical...
