CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 Polymorphisms in Two Bantu-Speaking Populations from Cameroon and South Africa: Implications for Global Pharmacogenetics

2012-03-01

Abstract excerpt

The health burden resulting from parasitic and infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, requires that available medication and limited healthcare resources be used optimally. However, due to co-morbidities, patients are often exposed to many drugs concurrently. Most of these drugs are metabolised by similar enzymes which are polymorphic, thus, drug-drug interactions are a constant problem. Q...
