Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background</bold> N-acetyl transferase (<italic>NAT2</italic>) affects metabolism and disposition of isoniazid. Polymorphisms of <italic>NAT2</italic> may affect pharmacokinetics of isoniazid (INH) by decreasing concentration of active drug in fast acetylators. High concentrations of drug in slow acetylators may lead to hepatotoxicity; this affects clinical outcomes of patients on...
