Molecular mechanisms of genetic polymorphisms of drug metabolism.

Abstract excerpt

One of the major causes of interindividual variation of drug effects is genetic variation of drug metabolism. Genetic polymorphisms of drug-metabolizing enzymes give rise to distinct subgroups in the population that differ in their ability to perform certain drug biotransformation reactions. Polymorphisms are generated by mutations in the genes for these enzymes, which cause decreased, increased, or absent enzyme...
