Molecular basis of polymorphic drug metabolism.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic polymorphisms with functional effects occur in many of the genes encoding drug metabolizing enzymes and are an important cause of adverse drug reaction. Recent advances in the understanding of the molecular genetics of drug-metabolizing enzymes, particularly the cytochromes P450, has enabled the molecular basis of several polymorphisms to be elucidated and genotyping assays using the polymerase chain...
