Abstract excerpt
The frequency distributions of the urinary metabolic ratios of debrisoquine and proguanil were measured in a population of unrelated Khmers. Out of 98 Khmer subjects studied, two were identified as poor metabolisers of debrisoquine when a metabolic ratio of 12.6 was used as the cut off point. This represents a prevalence of debrisoquine poor metabolisers of 2.1% (95% confidence interval 0.25-7.3%) which is...
