Differences in CYP3A5*3 genotype distribution and combinations with other polymorphisms between Spaniards and Other Caucasian populations.

The goal of this study was to detect genotypic differences between Spaniards and other related populations regarding CYP3A4*1B, CYP3A5*3, and ABCB1 (MDR1) C3435T polymorphisms. DNA from 177 Spanish patients were analyzed for the presence of these mutations using PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism or direct sequencing. The observed frequencies for CYP3A4*1B, CYP3A5*3, and C3435T alleles were within normal values in Caucasians (0.
