CYP2C8 Genotype and Allele Frequencies Among Selected Eritrean Population, 2018
| N | Genotype Frequency (%) (95% CI) | CYP2C8*2 Frequency (%) (95% CI) | CYP2C8*3 Frequency (%) (95% CI) | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| *1/*1a | *1/*2 | *1/*3 | *2/*2 | *3/*3 | *2/*3 | ||||
| General population | 380 | 82.1 (77.9–85.8) | 8.4 (5.8–11.7) | 6.3 (4.1–9.3) | 1.3 (0.4–3.0) | 1.1 (0.3–2.7) | 0.8 (0.2–2.3) | 5.9 (4.4–7.8) | 4.6 (3.2–6.3) | 
| Patients with EPSb | 17 | 76.5 (50.1–93.2) | 5.9 (0.1–28.7) | 11.8 (1.5–36.4) | – | – | 5.9 (0.1–28.7) | 5.9 (0.7–19.7) | 8.8 (1.9–23.7) | 
Notes: aIn the context of this work, *1 strictly indicates the absence of a *2 or *3 allele. bPatients with previous clinically documented artesunate–amodiaquine associated extrapyramidal symptoms.
Abbreviations: N, number of enrolled subjects; CI, confidence interval; CYP, cytochrome P450; EPS, extrapyramidal symptoms.
