Abstract excerpt
In many black African populations, the capacity for CYP2D6-dependent drug metabolism is generally reduced. A specific variant of the CYP2D6 gene (CYP2D6*17) that carries three functional mutations (T107I, R296C, and S486T) has been found to be present in Zimbabwean subjects with impaired CYP2D6-dependent hydroxylase activity. To evaluate whether the CYP2D6*17 allele was the major cause behind the decreased rate...
