Abstract excerpt
Genetic and environmental factors are determinants of the interindividual and interethnic variability in drug metabolism. The metabolism of several important drugs (e.g. haloperidol) cosegregates with that of debrisoquine. Thus, interethnic differences in debrisoquine hydroxylation polymorphism (CYP2D6) might be partly responsible for the variation in haloperidol disposition between races. The influence of...
