Among asthmatic patients, theophylline clearance was significantly lower in patients with the polymorphism at site −2964(G/A) whose genotype was G/A (0.029 ± 0.001 L · h<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> · kg<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>) or A/A (0.029 ± 0.002 L · h<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> · kg<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>) than in those whose genotype was G/G (0.034 ± 0.001 L · h<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> · kg<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>) (<jats:italic>P</jats:italic> < .01 and <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> < .05, respectively). High theophylline clearance levels significantly correlated with age in the G/G subgroup of site −2964(G/A) (<jats:italic>P</jats:italic> < .05, <jats:italic>r</jats:italic> = −0.35) but not in the G/A or A/A subgroup.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title><jats:p>Given its potential side effects, theophylline may need to be used with care in patients with the A allele at site −2964(G/A) in the <jats:italic>CYP1A2</jats:italic> gene, because theophylline metabolism levels are lower in such patients, particularly in young asthmatic individuals.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics</jats:italic> (2003) <jats:bold>73</jats:bold>, 468–474; doi: <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" xlink:href="10.1016/S0009-9236(03)00013-4">10.1016/S0009‐9236(03)00013‐4</jats:ext-link></jats:p></jats:sec>
