Despite a wide interindividual variation of cytochrome P-450 1A2
(CYP1A2) activity, genetic polymorphism of CYP1A2 has not been
reported. By amplification of exons of CYP1A2 by polymerase chain
reaction in eight Chinese subjects, the polymerase chain reaction
products were directly sequenced. One subject showed heterozygous
C2866
G (Phe21
Leu) polymorphism. DNA from
157 Chinese subjects (104 polychlorinated biphenyl-exposed subjects and
53 control subjects) was screened for polymorphism by single-strand conformation polymorphism method and MboII endonuclease
digestion. Only 1 of 157 samples showed another heterozygous
C2866
G mutation. The subject was previously exposed to
polychlorinated biphenyl and showed a value of 3.5% in the caffeine
breath test. The value is not significantly higher than the mean value
of polychlorinated biphenyl-exposed subjects (3.12 ± 0.29%,
mean ± S.E.M.). The incidence of the point mutation in these
Chinese subjects is less than 1%. The prevalence of the F21L mutation
in other ethnic groups and its effect on the metabolic activity of
CYP1A2 remain to be further evaluated.
