Abstract excerpt
The hepatic N-acetyltransferase enzyme encoded by the NAT2* gene locus is responsible for the human polymorphic acetylation of numerous arylamine or hydrazine-containing drugs and xenobiotics including AIDS-related therapeutic agents such as isoniazid and sulphonamides. The genetic basis underlying the human acetylation polymorphism has been extensively studied in several populations but native African...
