The S-mephenytoin 4’-hydroxylase (CYP2C19) metabolizes a number of clinically used drugs and shows a marked interethnic difference in the incidence of the poor metabolizer (PM). In the present study, we genotyped 215 healthy unrelated Koreans (64 females, aged 20-41 yr, residing in Chungcheong province) for functionally defective alleles, CYP2C19_(m1) and CYP2C19_(m2). Detection of the normal (CYP2C19_(wt)) and defective alleles was performed by polymerase chain reaction/restriction enzyme analysis. The genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood. The allelic frequencies of the wild-type (CYP2C19_(wt)) and CYP2C19_(m1) were 72.6% and 27.4%, and the wild-type (CYP2C19_(wt)) and CYP2C19_(m2) were 85.1% and 14.9%, respectively. For each CYP2C19_(m1) and CYP2C19_(m2), the observed numbers of three genotypes were similar to those calculated in accordance with the Hardy-Weinberg equation. The frequencies of homozygotes for CYP2C19_(m1), CYP2C19_(m2) and compound heterozygotes were 9.7%, 2.8% and 4.2%, respectively. The mutants of CYP2C19 were identified in 36 subjects (16.7%). These results suggest that frequency of mutants of CYP2C19 in Koreans resembled the Orientals rather than Caucasians.
