<h4>Background</h4>CYP3A5 genotyping might be useful to guide tacrolimus and sirolimus dosing. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of CYP3A5 polymorphism on everolimus metabolism and pharmacokinetics.<h4>Methods</h4>We investigated the effect of CYP3A5 6986A>G polymorphism (CYP3A5*1/*3 alleles) on the pharmacokinetics of everolimus in 28 renal transplant patients and on its in vitro hepatic metabolism using a bank of genotyped human liver microsomes (n=49). We further evaluated in ...[more]
