Individuals Whose Genotype Is GG at SNP 4 Metabolize a Drug

question 95

Short Answer

Individuals whose genotype is GG at SNP 4 metabolize a drug faster than those with genotype AA at the SNP, with heterozygotes in the middle.Individuals with TT at SNP 6 metabolize the drug slower than those with AA at that SNP, with heterozygotes in the middle.Accordingly, individuals with AA at SNP 4 and _______ at SNP 6 would be expected to require the smallest doses of the drug.
