“…The most frequent CYP2C8 variants are *2 (Ile269Phe), *3 (linked polymorphisms Arg139Lys and Lys399Arg), *4 (Ile264Met), and *5 (rare nonsynonymous polymorphic allele). CYP2C8*2, CYP2C8*3, and CYP2C8*4 were associated with reduced enzyme activity (Dai et al, 2001;Daily and Aquilante, 2009;Gao et al, 2010), although some studies have shown higher capacity to metabolize repaglinide, rosiglitazone, pioglitazone, and R-ibuprofen in CYP2C8*3 carriers (Niemi et al, 2003;Kirchheiner et al, 2006;Tornio et al, 2008;López-Rodríguez et al, 2008). Allelic frequencies were 80, 2, 11, 7, and 0% for CYP2C8*1, *2, *3, *4, and *5 in a Spanish population, respectively (López-Rodríguez et al, 2008).…”
