These findings indicate a high impact of genetic admixture of populations of Asian origin (Central American Indians) and white persons (Spaniards) on the genetic polymorphisms studied here and suggest that among mixed Hispanics a high heterogeneity of genotypes and phenotypes can be expected depending on the degree of genetic admixture of every subgroup. Therefore different subgroups of mixed Hispanic subjects can exhibit different results when treated with drugs that are inactivated through polymorphic enzymes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
