Analysis of the CYP 1A2 gene polymorphism and its clinical importance
KRŮČKOVÁ, Dominika
The bachelor thesis named Analysis of the CYP1A2 gene polymorphism and its clinical importance focuses on polymorphs in gene CYP1A2 and their benefits to pharmacogenetics. CYP1A2 gene is localized on chromosome 15, it spans around 7,8 kb. CYP1A2 codes one of the P450 cytochrome enzymes. Enzyme CYP1A2 is one of the most important enzymes participating in metabolism of variety of medicines, for instance antipsychotics or anaesthetics. Furthermore, CYP1A2 partakes in metabolism of procarcinogenic and carcinogenic substances and endogenous substances, for example melatonin or oestrogen. Polymorphs in gene partially cause different reactions to medicines. Non-genetic factors also contribute to interindividual variability, for example smoking or taking birth control pills.
