Genetic polymorphism of CYP2C8*4 in a healthy Turkish population
Cytochrome P4502C8 (CYP2C8) is a significant member of CYP enzyme family and metabolizes about 20% of commonly prescribed drugs and endogenous compounds. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in CYP2C8 gene may change CYP2C8 enzyme activity and therefore may affect the adverse reactions and efficacy of dr...
