Background: Genetic variants in NAT2 are associated with pharmacokinetic variation of isoniazid, the cornerstone of antituberculosis treatment. We investigated the acetylator genotype and phenotype in children on antituberculosis treatment that were previously shown to have low plasma isoniazid levels. Materials & methods:NAT2 genotyping and phenotyping, represented as metabolic ratio of acetylisoniazid over isoniazid and as isoniazid half-life, were performed in 30 Venezuelan children. Results: Most children carried genotypes resulting in an intermediate or low enzyme activity (43 and 40%, respectively). Isoniazid exposure differed between genotypically slow and rapid acetylators (13.3 vs 4.5 hxmg/l, p < 0.01). Both the metabolic ratio as well as the half-life of isoniazid distinguished genotypically slow from genotypically rapid or intermediate acetylators (all p </= 0.01). Conclusion: In Venezuelan children a clear difference in isoniazid pharmacokinetics and acetylator phenotype between genotypically slow and genotypically intermediate or rapid acetylating children was observed.
