Abstract
Provided are polynucleotides of molecular variant promoters of the CYP2D6 gene which, for example, are associated with abnormal drug response or individual predisposition to several common diseases and disorders caused by drug under- or over-metabolization, and vectors comprising such polynucleotides. Furthermore, methods of diagnosing the status of disorders related to intermediate metabolization of drugs are described. In addition, kits comprising oligonucleotides hybridizing to the CYP2D6 promoter and/or being capable of being extended into this region useful for diagnosing subjects that are ultrarapid or intermediate metabolizer of drugs are provided.
