Abstract excerpt
The prevalence and distribution of seven point mutations at the coding region of the highly polymorphic NAT2 gene were studied in 1008 chromosomes from healthy Spanish subjects. Most of the genes studied (78.4%) had one or more mutations, distributed in seventeen allelic variants of the NAT2 gene. Three alleles were present at high frequencies, namely NAT2*5B (41.6%), NAT2*6A (23.6%) and NAT2*4 (21.6%). The...
