Acetylator phenotypes in Greece

Abstract

Three groups of patients from various areas of Greece were studied as to their acetylisoniazid index (ratio of acetylisoniazid to isoniazid in plasma 4 hrs after ingestion of 300 mg INH). The first group consisted of 79 patients being treated for pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis. The second group consisted of 47 patients suffering from bronchogenic carcinoma. And the third group consisted of 14 patients with "classical" Rheumatoid Arthritis. The overall distribution of N-acetyliosis phenotypes was found to be in agreement with distributions reported in other European populations (59,52% slow VS, 40,48% fast). People from different areas of Greece were found to be consistent as to their acetyloisoniazid index mean values variation, and phenotype distribution. Comparison of the group of patients suffering from bronchogenic carcinoma with the group of tuberculosis patients failed to reveal a relationship between N-acetyliosis phenotypes and bronchogenic carcinoma. The group of pa ...
