Frequency of S-mephenytoin hydroxylation deficiency in 373 Spanish subjects compared to other Caucasian populations. 1993
Department of Pharmacology and Psychiatry, Medical School, University of Extremadura, Spain.
We have investigated the prevalence of poor metabolisers (PM) of S-mephenytoin in 373 unrelated, healthy Spanish Caucasian subjects, based on the enantiomeric S/R mephenytoin ratio in urine collected 0-8 h and 24-32 h after intake of the racemic drug. Five of the subjects were PM (1.34%, 95% confidence interval 0.18-2.59%), a prevalence lower than in 6 other Caucasian populations, but only significantly lower than in studies in France and Switzerland (P < 0.01). We suggest that this difference might be due to the use of different phenotyping procedures.
