Excerpt
We read with interest the article by Chang and colleagues who studied the influence of cytochrome P450 2C19 (
CYP2C19) genetic polymorphism on citalopram and escitalopram exposure by using meta-analysis [
1]. The authors state that this is the first study which provides precise estimates of the influence of
CYP2C19 genotypes on (es)citalopram drug exposure, especially for heterozygous genotypes with the
CYP2C19*17 gain-of-function allele. …
