Ethnic differences in CYP1A2 activity

My project aims to look at ethnic differences in CYP1A2 enzyme activity between people of Indian and European origin. CYP1A2 is responsible for the metabolism of numerous antipsychotic and antidepressant medications whilst also being involved in the metabolic conversion of carcinogenic compounds. The project will look at all aspects of ethnicty including genetics, environment and culture in order to pinpoint the factors responsible for drug response variability.
