1 INTRODUCTION: Tacrolimus is a calcineurin inhibitor used as an immunosuppressant drug in solid organ transplantation, and is mainly metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 and CYP3A5. Tacrolimus cytochrome P450 family 3 subfamily A member 4 Homo sapiens
2 Variants in the genes PPARA, POR and CYP3A4 have recently been shown to influence tacrolimus metabolism. Tacrolimus cytochrome P450 family 3 subfamily A member 4 Homo sapiens
3 In the present study, we investigated a potential association between CYP3A5*3, PPARA c.209-1003G>A, POR*28 and CYP3A4*22 and dose-adjusted tacrolimus trough concentrations in a primarily corticosteroid-free (>85%) population of Danish pediatric and adult kidney transplant recipients. Tacrolimus cytochrome P450 family 3 subfamily A member 4 Homo sapiens
