Abstract excerpt
Debrisoquine 4-hydroxylase (CYP2D6) is one of the cytochrome P450 enzyme families that catalyze the breakdown of a variety of exogenous and endogenous compounds. Previous reports have suggested that genetic polymorphisms of debrisoquine 4-hydroxylase are associated with susceptibility to Parkinson's disease (PD) in Caucasians. To determine if CYP2D6 also confers susceptibility to PD in Chinese patients, we...
