A history and overview of phenotypic variability in CYP2D6 activity [PDF]
CYP2D6 is a human cytochrome P450 that is responsible for the metabolism of a large number of drugs and chemicals. Interest in CYP2D6 has largely centered on the wide interindividual variability in its catalytic activity that stems from a common genetic ...

Pharmacogenomics in Cancer Treatment: Challenges and Opportunities in African Settings. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Cancer incidence in Africa is projected to reach 2.1 million new cases annually by 2040. Current treatment guidelines remain largely based on pharmacogenomic data predominantly from European and Asian genetic profiles, potentially compromising safety and efficacy in African patients.

CYP2D6-polymorphism and effect of adjuvant tamoxifen in breast cancer patients
Adjuvant tamoxifen at the standard dose of 20 mg daily for five to ten years reduces the risk for relapse and mortality in hormone sensitive breast cancer. The effect however varies and no early marker of poor response is yet available.

A novel simple method for determining CYP2D6 gene copy number and identifying allele(s) with duplication/multiplication. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) gene duplication and multiplication can result in ultrarapid drug metabolism and therapeutic failure or excessive response in patients.

Heterogeneity of the CYP2D6 gene among Malays in Malaysia [PDF]
Background: Although Malays shared an origin with Chinese, their evolution saw substantial divergences. Phenotyping studies suggested that they differed in CYP2D6 polymorphism, with higher PM prevalence but lesser right-shift for debrisoquine MRs ...
