Abstract excerpt
Interindividual variation of drug effects in humans can be attributed to many factors. Among the factors, the rate of drug metabolism has been regarded as the most important one. A genetic defect of enzymes involved in drug metabolism, particularly cytochrome P450 (CYP), has been believed to be one of the important causal factors of adverse drug reactions. There are multiple gene mutations for CYP causing the...
