A rapid pharmacogenomic assay to detect <i>NAT2</i> polymorphisms and guide isoniazid dosing for tuberculosis treatment
2021-01-20
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Rationale</h4> Standardized weight-based dose of anti-tubercular drugs contributes to a substantial incidence of toxicities, inadequate treatment response, and relapse, in part due to variable drug levels achieved. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the N-acetyltransferase-2 (NAT2) gene explain the majority of interindividual pharmacokinetic variability of isoniazid (INH). However, an obstacle to implem...
