Abstract:In the Asian general population, at least six single‐nucleotide variants (SNVs) in the UDP‐glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 gene have been identified: −3279T>G, −53A(TA)6TAA>A(TA)7TAA, 211G>A, 686C>A, 1091C>T, and 1456T>G. Each of these six SNVs was observed in at least four ethnic groups of the 12 Asian populations studied. In East Asian populations, the descending frequency of these six SNVs was as follows: −3279G>[−53A(TA)7TAA, 211A]>(686A, 1091T)>1456G. Because of the presence of linkage disequilibrium an… Show more
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.
