Genetic Polymorphisms of CYP2C8 in A Healthy Iranian Population
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
Aim: The aims of this study were to genotype CYP2C8 in an Iranian population and compare their allelic frequencies with other ethnic groups. Study Site and Duration: Biotechnology Department, School of Pharmacy, Zanjan University of Medical Sciences, Zanjan, Iran from June 2012 through May 2013. Methodology: CYP2C8 (*1/*2/*3) allelic variants were determined in 200 unrelated healthy Iranian volunteers by real time-polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results: A total 156 subjects (78%) were homozygous for CYP2C8*1, six subjects (3%) were homozygous for CYP2C8*2 and 38 subjects (19%) were heterozygous CYP2C8*1/*2. CYP2C8*3 was not detected. Discussion and Conclusion: Genotyping indicated no significant (P>0.05) difference between CYP2C8 allelic variant frequencies in an Iranian compared with Burkina Faso population. The Iranian population’s CYP2C8 allelic variation was significantly (P<0.05) different when compared with populations in Portugal, African-American race to Malaysia, Ghana, Zanzibar, Spain, Czech Republic and Sweden.
