Together with the heme-containing cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenases, the flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMOs: EC. 1.14. 13.8) play a major role in oxidizing many nucleophilic nitrogen-, sulfurand phosphorus-containing drugs, pesticides and plant products [1]. Among the five known FMO isoforms identified in mammals, FMO3 is the major enzyme present in adult human liver. Inter-subject variability in the activity of many drug-metabolizing enzymes is determined in part by single nucleotide polymorphisms in their respective genes. Differences in allelic frequencies among ethnic groups also contribute to variability in xenobiotic metabolism. Several single nucleotide mutations in FMO3 that cause loss-of-function have been identified and these represent rare alleles responsible for the rare genetic disease namedtrimethylaminuria (TMAU)'orfish-odor syndrome'[2±5]. However, the substantial differences in FMO3-dependent hepatic drug metabolism capacity observed within or among different populations cannot all be attributed to any one of these rare alleles. Rather, more common mutations producing the altered, but functional FMO3 must be responsible and as such, are of considerable interest.In previous studies, we identified two FMO3 sequence variants that do not inactivate the enzyme (Glu158Lys and Glu308Gly) and that occur at a relatively high frequency within the Korean population (about 18% for both mutant alleles)[6, 7]. Heterozygous or homozygous volunteers for either one, but not both of these two alleles had normal in-vivo FMO activity as measured by ranitidine N-oxidation. However, the volunteers who were heterozygous or homozygous for both alleles
