Allele Frequency of CYP2C19 Gene Polymorphisms in a Healthy Iranian Population
Authors
Abstract:
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) plays an important role in the metabolism and elimination of a wide range of medications. The polymorphisms of this enzyme give rise to substantial inter-individual and inter-ethnic variability in drug excretion rates and final serum concentrations. For this reason, therapeutic re-sponses and adverse drug reactions may vary from one person to another. In this study we determined genotypes of CYP2C19 in Iranian population to compare allele frequencies with previous findings in other ethnic groups. CYP2C19 (*1/*2/*3) allelic variants were determined in 200 unrelated healthy Iranian vol-unteers by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assays. Six subjects (3%) were homozygous for CYP2C19*2, while 44 individuals (22%) were heterozygous. In the remainder (75%) no CYP2C19*2 was found. In addition, no CYP2C19*3 was detected in the population studied. Based on our data, there was no difference between frequency of CYP2C19 allelic variants in our study and other evaluated Caucasians (p > 0.05).

Genotype and allele frequency of CYP2C19*17 in a healthy Iranian population
Background: Cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) is important in metabolism of wide range of drugs. CYP2C19*17 is a novel variant allele which increases gene transcription and therefore results in ultra-rapid metabolizer phenotype (URM). Distribution of this variant allele has not been well studied worldwide. The aim of present study was to investigate allele and genotype frequencies of CYP2C19*17 ...

The only member of human cytochrome P450 E subfamily is CYP2E1 (Zhuge et al., 2003), located in the 10q24.3-qter region of chromosome 10. It contains 9 exons, 8 introns, and a typical TATA box and it spans 11,413 base pairs of genomic DNA (Umeno, 1988). CYP2E1 plays a key role in the metabolic activation of many low molecular weight carcinogens (e.g., benzene, N-nitrosamines, carbon tetrachlori...
