Pilot study analyzes CYP2D6 genotypes related to drug metabolism in Asian populations, suggesting genetic similarities.

The study aims to investigate the CYP2D6 genotype and its relationship with drug metabolism in Korean, Japanese, and Chinese populations.
Analyzed CYP2D6 genotype using Xba I and Eco RI RFLP, and allele-specific PCR for variants.
Involved 63 subjects: 21 each from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean populations.
Assessed debrisoquine and mephenytoin hydroxylation phenotypes.
Found all subjects were extensive metabolizers of debrisoquine.
Mephenytoin poor metabolizer phenotype incidence was 14% in Chinese, 24% in Japanese, and 24% in Koreans.
Identified CYP2D6Ch alleles related to decreased activity, with notable genetic variants in all populations.

Dahl et al. (1995) studied this question.
