1Median concentration [quartile 1 - quartile 3] values of tamoxifen and metabolites are given as ng/ml.

2*2/*2, encodes defective CYP2C19 activity; Vt*17, subjects heterozygous for the variant type allele CYP2C19*17 (*1/*17 and *2/*17); *17/*17, encodes ultra rapid CYP2C19 activity.

3P values were calculated by multivariate logistic regression model, *p < 0.05. Adjusted for CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A5, SULT1A1, SULT1A1 copy number, FSH and SHBG.

4PM, poor metabolizer; IM, wild type/variant type; Wt/Wt, wild type/wild type; UM, ultra rapid metabolizer.
