... ofhypersensitivity [5]. The major metabolic pathway for sulpham-ethoxazole is catalyzed by N-acetylation by N-acetyltrans-ferase 2 (NAT2). In the pathogenesis of hypersensitivity, the formation ... haplo-types exhibit the slow acetylator phenotype, whereas thosewho carry at least one wild-type haplotype exhibit the fastacetylator phenotype.In the present study we examined the association ... population,namely NAT2*4, NAT2*5B, NAT2*5E, NAT2*6A, NAT2*7Band NAT2*13. Of these, NAT2*4 is the wild-type haplotype; the remaining haplotypes are mutant types. In the presentstudy, individuals...
