Abstract excerpt
(S)-Mephenytoin is metabolized by CYP2C19. The purpose of this study was to examine availability of phenotyping of poor metabolizers (PMs) of (S)-mephenytoin by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)/restriction enzyme genotyping of CYP2C19 in a Japanese population. We genotyped 217 unrelated healthy Japanese for functionally defective alleles, CYP2C19m1 and CYP2C19m2. The frequencies of the wild type(wm1) and CYP2C19m1...
