Genetic polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 among patients with Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN)

Our results demonstrate that the CYP3A5*1 allele, previously reported as a marker for CYP3A5 expression in human kidney, is associated with increased risk for BEN, while CYP3A4*1B and CYP2D6 genotypes do not significantly modify the risk for the disease.
