Abstract(s)

"Several factors cause heterogeneity of response to antiretroviral therapy. Genetic polymorphisms, particularly in metabolizing enzyme, cytochrome P450 isoenzymes and transport proteins MDR, MRP and SLC, may cause pharmacokinetic variability in some ARVs, leading to viral failure, drug toxicity and may explain the interpatient variability for drug absorption pathways."
