1 CYP2B6 gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms in an Italian population sample and relationship with nicotine dependence. Nicotine cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily B member 6 Homo sapiens
2 The extensively polymorphic CYP2B6 gene metabolizes endogenous and exogenous compounds, among which are nicotine and bupropion, although its contribution to the systemic metabolism of nicotine still remains controversial. Nicotine cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily B member 6 Homo sapiens
3 The extensively polymorphic CYP2B6 gene metabolizes endogenous and exogenous compounds, among which are nicotine and bupropion, although its contribution to the systemic metabolism of nicotine still remains controversial. Nicotine cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily B member 6 Homo sapiens
4 The reduced activity of the CYP2B6*6 variant was significantly (p=0.025) distributed among the nicotine-dependent individuals compared to non-nicotine dependents. Nicotine cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily B member 6 Homo sapiens
5 The reduced activity of the CYP2B6*6 variant was significantly (p=0.025) distributed among the nicotine-dependent individuals compared to non-nicotine dependents. Nicotine cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily B member 6 Homo sapiens
6 Also, the CYP2B6*1/*6 genotype achieved statistical significance (p=0.016) within the nicotine-dependent individuals. Nicotine cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily B member 6 Homo sapiens
7 The high occurrence of CYP2B6*6 carriers among nicotine-dependent individuals may suggest a possible involvement in nicotine dependence, with a potential impact on smoking cessation treatments tailored to the individual smoker"s genotype. Nicotine cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily B member 6 Homo sapiens
