Abstract excerpt
1. A sparteine/mephenytoin phenotyping test was carried out in 37 Vietnamese living in Denmark. By visual inspection the urinary S/R-mephenytoin ratio appeared to show a bimodal frequency distribution. Eight putative poor metabolizers of mephenytoin, PMm (22%), had S/R-mephenytoin ratios from 0.79 to 1.12 and 29 putative extensive metabolizers of mephenytoin, EMm, had S/R-mephenytoin ratios < or = 0.55. All of...
