Abstract excerpt
A genetic polymorphism in the metabolism of the anticonvulsant drug S-mephenytoin has been attributed to defective CYP2C19 alleles. This genetic polymorphism displays large interracial differences with the poor metabolizer (PM) phenotype representing 2-5% of Caucasian and 13-23% of Oriental populations. In the present study, we identified two new mutations in CYP2C19 in a single Swiss Caucasian PM outlier (JOB 1)...
