Objective:To get the data of genetic polymorphism in the Chinese Han population through screening and detecting drug-metabolizing enzyme CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP). Methods:Eleven SNP in these 2 CYP genes were screened out. Genomic DNA was prepared from 192 blood samples obtained from individuals of Chinese Han origin. Polymor-phism was analyzed by allele-specific pr1imer extension followed by GenomeLabTM SNPstreamR analysis system. Results:All 11 ana-lyzed SNP were polymorphic(MAF>0.01). Of these 11 SNP,7(RS28624811,RS28670611,RS9623531,RS5758589,RS3735451,RS2246709,RS2404955,RS4646440) had an allele frequency,which was different between Chinese Han population and Caucasians(P<0.01). Conclusions:These data suggest that different ethnic groups might inherit specific genetic information that could lead to different drug metabolism rates.
