Abstract: AIM: To identify the distribution feature of cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19)gene, and assess the effects of gender, age (18-80 years old)and body weight on genetic polymorphism of CYP2C19 in a Chinese Han population.METHODS: Two hundred and eightthree unrelated, healthy Chinese Han population subjects (126 males and 157 females, aged from 18 to 80)were genotyped for CYP2C19 to identify the wild-type (CYP2C19 *1)gene and two mutations (CYP2C19 *2 CYP2C19 *3) by PCR and DNA sequencing.RESULTS: Six different allelic variants of CYP2C19 gene were observed in this study.42.4 %(120 of the 283 subjects) were homozygous for the wild type CYP2C19 *1 * 1 in total by the genotyping analysis.The frequencies of the CYP2C19 *2 and *3 alleles were 29.2 % and 6.7 % respectively.14.2 % (40 of 283 subjects)were genotypically identified as PMs of CYP2C19.Of 126 genotyped male subjects, the CYP2C19 *2 and *3 allele frequencies were 28.2 %and 5.2 %.And among the 157 female subjects, the frequencies of the two alleles were 29.9 % and 8.0 %.The frequencies of CYP2C19 *2 and CYP2C19 *3 alleles in different ages were 29.9 % and 6.8 % (18 to 45 years old)versus 28.1 % and 6.6 % (no less than 45 years old).Body mass index (BMI)is an optimal way to examine obesity rather than actual body weight.BMI>25 indicates the individual is overweight. The frequencies of the CYP2C19 *2 and *3 alleles were 31.1 % and 6.6 %in BMI <25 group versus 22.7 %and 7 % in BMI>25 group.CONCLUSION: There are no statistically significant difference in the occurrence of CYP2C19 *2 and CYP2C19 *3 among gender (P>0.05), age (P>0.05)and BMI (P>0.05).So gender, age and BMI may have no significant effect on genetic polymorphism of CYP2C19.
