  • 1-a 38 subjects: Caucasians, 12; Japanese, 5; mainland Chinese, 6; Koreans, 5; Asian Indians, 5; Hispanics, 5. TheNAT1* genotype of the Caucasian subjects is from a previous study (Vatsis and Weber, 1993).

  • 1-b Determined by direct (no subcloning) sequencing of 1.6-kb fragments (nt −440 to 1175) of NAT1* amplified with leukocyte DNA as template (Vatsis and Weber, 1993).
