"The CYP2B6 belongs to the family of Cytochrome P450 enzymes that catalyze the metabolism of a wide variety of drugs, including the anti-retroviral EFV. The CYP2B6 gene, that has been mapped in the chromosome 19, is highly polymorphic and some SNP, namely 516G>T and 785A>G, are associated with decreased protein expression. These variants are related to phenotypes that are characterized as EFV poor metabolizers, and consequently to episodes of neurotoxicity."
