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.
