Abstract:Background
Anti‐tuberculosis drug‐induced hepatotoxicity (ATDH) is a serious adverse drug reaction. The slow acetylator status of N‐acetyl transferase 2 (NAT2) is a well‐established risk factor for ATDH. One novel tagging single nucleotide polymorphism (tagging SNP), rs1495741, in NAT2 has been found to be highly predictive of the NAT2 phenotype. The present study aimed to validate the relationships between tagging SNP rs1495741 and ATDH in a Chinese Han population.
