Description

What is known and objective: Genetic variations in drug-metabolizing enzyme genes change drug pharmacokinetics and response. CYP2C19 is a clinically important enzyme that metabolizes citalopram (CIT). The objective of this study was to determine CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms and to evaluate the impact of these polymorphisms on the metabolism of citalopram in a sample of the Turkish population. We also assessed *17 polymorphism in healthy subjects in this population.
