Frequency of common CYP3A5 gene variants in healthy Polish newborn infants.
Journal Title: Pharmacological Reports - Year 2009, Vol 61, Issue 5
Abstract
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases catalyze the metabolism of approximately 40-60% of widely used drugs with a A6986G CYP3A5 polymorphism determining expresser (A6986, *1) and reduced- expresser (*3) variants with modified drug metabolism activity. In this report, the allele frequency of CYP3A5 *1 and *3 (A6986 or G6986, respectively) was analyzed by the PCR-RFLP technique in a cohort of 200 Polish newborns from the West Pomeranian region. Of the studied group, 1% (n = 2/200) proved homozygous for the CYP3A5*1 allele, 89% (n = 178/200) for the *3 allele, and 10% (n = 20/200) were heterozygous for *1/*3. Similar frequencies were found in other Caucasian European populations. This study provides basic genetic data related to the metabolism of drugs, with a narrow therapeutic window in a Polish population.

Medium supplementation with zinc enables detection of imipramine-induced adaptation in glycine/NMDA receptors labeled with [3H]L-689,560.
Antidepressant drugs after chronic administration induce adaptive changes in the NMDA receptor complex. Radioligand-receptorbinding studies using [3H]5,7-dichlorokynurenic acid demonstrated a "down-regulation" of the gly...

Osteopetrosis is a congenital metabolic bone disease characterized by skeletal sclerosis resulting from defective osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. The disease may, inter alia, be caused by the administration of bisph...
