Impact of CYP2C19, CYP2C9 and body mass index on tamoxifen metabolite ratios: (a) Metabolic ratio (MR) DDM-Tam/norendoxifen according to the loss-of-function alleles CYP2C19*2/*3 predicting EM, hetEM (heterozygous *2 or *3) and PM (homozygous *2 or *3). (b) MR tamoxifen/(Z)-4-OH-TAM according to CYP2C9 *2/*3 reduced activity alleles defining hetEM (heterozygous *2 or *3) and PM (homozygous *2 or *3) versus EM with normal activity (absence of *2 or *3). (c) MR tamoxifen/DM-Tam stratified by BMI (⩽30 or >30) in all patients, Caucasians and non-Caucasians. Data are presented as boxplots with whiskers defined by 5th and 95th percentiles and extreme values outside the whiskers. BMI, body mass index; DDM-Tam, DiDesmethyltamoxifen; DM-Tam, Desmethyltamoxifen; EM, extensive metabolizer; hetEM, heterozygous EM; PM, poor metabolizer; (Z)-4-OH-TAM, (Z)-4-hydroxytamoxifen.
